Dragy Times Thread!

My opinion on all BMW's is once out of warranty they will nickel and dime you to death... and by nickel and dime I mean $1k-$3k. I wouldn't own a BMW long term unless something like an e36/46/92 M-car that I cruised to cars and coffee twice a month. Then when it broke I would be like meh, I'll fix it whenever... But I know it's going to break lol.

Even the N54 which is a very stout engine by design sucks ha ha. The engine is great, everything bolted to it fails and sometimes often.

That is sooooo true!!

When I was a Mazda rep, one of our stores was Mazda, Audi, BMW. Their mechanic on get Euro side told his parents to buy a 2020 CX-9 because he didn’t want to be repairing their vehicle especially out of warranty

As long as you don’t get the dreaded exhaust manifold leak.

Eh it still has warranty and just passed a 124 point PPI from a ram dealership. Should be fine. If I gotta fix a few things on a ram pickup no biggy. I almost bought a BMW X5M so that would have drained my wallet lol

I don't think these are really pushing 28 psi. I'm going to do some boost profile logs tonight. We'll see what stock is vs the Cat6 maps.

My guess is around 29-30 psi on the most aggressive map and 26 psi stock.

Power isn't always boost dependent, you can tweak afr's and timing and make more power on the same psi.

Stock map Peak boost of 28.8 psi at 4100 rpm tapering to 22.7 at 6200 rpm

3900-4100 is where it holds 28 then it tapers

Yeah it sounds like it! My horsepower is probably just down because I’m at 5280 feet elevation. I tried to find 93 octane here to see if it had any effect since the turbos are working harder here but there is nowhere with 93.
