Mission Performance | Selectable RWD for F97 via iDrive | World First | Video added
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com It was running straight E85 and pushing nearly 30lbs of boost and it was phenomenal. I'll leave the performance details to Alex when he wants to discuss. You all are a lucky bunch - if Alex has a particular car in his stable all kinds of super cool things come of that - he generally tunes what he drives and what interests him That aside this dropped into my IG just now and figured I would share for anyone that is interested in the worlds first rwd x3m :-) ps-the 2wd option was not in play when I saw him - this is new Video: Last edited by chenry; 06-30-2020 at 04:05 PM..

Just gotta make sure tire pressure up to the spec or there'll be "it'll buff out" comments.

Not used to throwing a fat boat around, but still fun way to test out the mod and make sure everything functions as it should. For now, this will be something that we offer only to local customers, but will be implemented into the app in the near future.
That was done on our full E85 10.6s all stock F97 and tires really really didn't like it. |

not to jack the thread, but is there anywhere you have posted info about running straight e85? Any fuel upgrades, etc? (if you have a link that would be awesome ) |

My hat off to you for being the first to market with this capability. After seeing our M5 predecessor (transmission-wise), we knew it was physically possible, just not allowed, by BMW. Thank you for enabling this option.

Crazy. So no RWD only option was just a software nerf compared to M5. Bravo unlocking this! I bet you can even get away with keeping warranty coverage as it's basically an OEM feature.

I get the hope and I'm right there with you logically, but good luck making that argument to BMW if something goes wrong.

That's hilarious. At the same time, technically you're gaining a little efficiency in RWD mode (obviously that doesn't apply to when you're doing donuts)

Didn't say there was....although the rear bias nature of the M xdrive is great especially when compared to the numb haldex applications found in VW group products.
