I Bought a BMW X5 35D! | Deleted and Tuned Diesel

[@kpy3p]

The 35D is one of BMW's best kept secrets. We've had our deleted and tuned for a little over a year and i'm ready for another one. Wife loves driving it too much.

[@Bmwguy2011]

Hi I’m looking at a 2012 x5d l/mid gen… where can you get it deleted? I found a place in pa famous for diesel tuning, but even they won’t come out and admit that they can help me with this. Frustrating.

I just bought a X5 35d as well. Mine is stock and I can’t wait to delete and tune. I haven’t driven my Ram since. I feel guilty. Subscribed

[@straightsixracing]

🙌🏻 how do you like it so far? I’m assuming since you haven’t driven your ram you LOVE it!

[@agmobb99]

@@straightsixracing I love my RAM but it just can’t compare to the BMW on the road. Both vehicles being inline 6 diesels are where the similarities end haha. The X5 handles surprisingly well for how heavy it is. The awd is also great to have now that we’ve had rain and snow. Now I just have to make the X5 actually sound like a diesel

[@Bmwguy2011]

Do you know who does the deletes and tuning?

[@AM4project]

@@Bmwguy2011 same question here thanks

[@Jims5543]

Even if you are not doing the delete now, get the kit now, the EPA is working overtime to stop these companies from selling them. My son bought his kit months before we actually did the install.

[@Reeper1814]

Got one as well. Had to spend 7k on it, had to fix the def system, glow plugs, Harmonic balancer, transmission service, transfer case service, and front and rear differential. I'm not super excited for the timing chain service at 150k miles.

[@straightsixracing]

Seems expensive. Delete, tune, harmonic balancer upgrade, transmission service and fluids for tcase and diffs are not 7k unless you paid for labor

[@Reeper1814]

@straightsixracing ya paid labor for transmission and def repair. Tried fixing def my myself but got locked out. I'm new to BMW. Do you have any links to recommendations for tune and downpipes. If the def and egr keep giving me problems, it's out of here.

[@straightsixracing]

@Reeper1814 nothing I can share here but message me on instagram @straightsixracing and I can send you more information

i know this video is a year old but if you have a kid on the way go ahead and keep him on the passenger side rear, its the safest seat in the vehicle for a carseat and he/she would be only a year old so likely still in the seat.

Nice thanks for sharing bro. I'm actually looking to get one today. The "school bus" part was funny. Now that you mentioned it it'll be a the selling point for me.

Ive had my 2012 X5 35D for some months now, and I LOVE IT! Its in grey and have been thinking about getting some new wheels. Do you think black wheel would look good? I also wanna delete and tune as well!

[@straightsixracing]

I’m normally not a huge fan of black wheels, but black wheels on grey cars looks great. I like my wheels a lot, happy to have found a car in perfect spec for me :)

After it being a couple months how r u liking it now have been contemplating on getting one for a couple of weeks now

[@cchristian299]

Love this generation of X5. You should look into getting the EGR deleted.

[@straightsixracing]

It’s deleted in the tune!

[@cchristian299]

I'm glad to see your enjoying the X5. @ 2:15 it looks like someone left it on.

[@straightsixracing]

So they leave it in place but disable the electronics via tune. As far as I know it’s just as effective without having to do anything mechanical!

[@cchristian299]

@@straightsixracing 👍🏾 I get it. I wish this Gen had more exterior mods this truck is a blast to drive. I plan to work on my handling next

[@straightsixracing]

I agree. Some x5m stuff but im not too interested in it. For now ill be happy with some interior mods to modernize it a little bit

[@TheGeekNextDoor]

How is the diesel smell? We just had our's deleted, but the smell of diesel is insane. I may need to take it back to the guys that did it and see what is wrong with it. I didn't expect it to be so smelly.

[@mas7241]

Your EGR is still connected brother. I can see it at 2:15 still connected. Get that out of there! :)

How is it 1 year in? Great Video!

[@xrpo.g6855]

heard these trucks are nothing but problems. My cousin bought is 2015 new and got rid of it a couple years ago . Why do so many ppl say this thing is not worth buying. Sounds good with the delete thats for sure. There is a 2011 x35d for sale in my area for under 9k with 200k on the engine, but it has electronically reduced power on the engine right something to do with issue with the engine filter the seller stated. will delete kit fix this issue?

[@straightsixracing]

2015 gasoline x5 has timing chain issues. The diesels of this gen nce deleted are solid. Trans and engine last forever. Not sure about the engine filter issue... maybe DEF filter?? Not sure what emissions are on here, bought mine deleted and its been perfect

[@GalumiN]

How much does it cost to maintain? I mean, if something breaks down, it costs double the price of other cars

[@straightsixracing]

It hasn’t broken down in 25k miles / 2 years of ownership!!

What MPGs are you getting with the delete?

I’m new into cars right now and I love my x5 I think I bought a hidden gem, but what does it mean to delete and tune a car. I’m curious because I want to do it to mine 😊

[@Bmwguy2011]

Delete refers to removing the federally required devices on a diesel car such as the def tank, egr valve, and particulate filter. Then mapping or tuning refers to chipping the car afterwards and netting it to run the way it was intended to before Dufus (Biden). The epa stuff traps in carbon soot, robs the engine of power, and causes it to last less miles on the road.
