I'm in bowie,md. I've got a 2011 550xi, muffler and box res deleted. Definitely going to be going this route in the next few months. Sounds great man nice car
Awesome video brother! Just goes to show these cars aren't as unreliable as they get a bad rap for. Yours is going strong at 120k. It's sounds really good!!!! I'm picking up a 2016 45000 mile 550 up this week so this was an encouraging video. Definitely made me happy with my decision to go through with getting one of these cars finally after the torture of finding the right one. Keep posting videos have a good one brother stay safe God bless! 🙏🏼🤝🏼🍻
"Just goes to show these cars aren't as unreliable as they get a bad rap for." They have a bad reputation for a reason, I'd love to own one, but the issues with the engine is not worth it.
@@Zuwze My 2012 had no issues with thorough maintenance. I agree that the motors can be more problematic then may be other motors but for what they are they're really not all that unreliable. The other problem is a lot of people buy these cars and just beat the shit out of them. There are ways to make these cars reliable and at the end of the day if you're not willing to put out the money for one then yes I agree probably not the right car for you. For me it's not about the money or the car that's about the passion of BMWs. My passion for them goes a lot further than just the physical car. I love the history and everything BMW stands for.
Sweet! I have an x5 50i as well! Need to look into this heatsync tune. I did the muffler delete with xpipe. Sounds really good but I'm thinking of adding resonators to the dual pipes
People say the regular N63 is a ticking time bomb but I believe if you just take care of the car you’ll be fine hints his mileage & I’ve seen other with around the same or with more & the car still runs string no issues
@@lsantosbmw I’ve been getting told to not do it cause of the high miles but it’s in really good condition I take it for a drive on Monday, I want it lol
Ha ha ha. We are 20 min away from Ocean City. This is the only part of Salisbury that looks like this lol. We have a mix of country ass people and ghettos 😆
@@joemano6223 yeah, it's empty on weekends during the day. There are a few bars and restaurants there that get packed at night. Thanks for watching the vid. You can hear it full open throttling one of my other vids that has 13k views.
I literally live in Crisfield and I have a bad ms3, we should meet up and take pictures bro, I work in Salisbury at the Firestone, I’ve never seen this car before, hell yeah man
What stage tune are you && do you know your crank horsepower numbers? I’m actually in the market for a 2012-2013 550i. How would you rate the reliability since you’ve owned it?
Definitely splurge for the 2014 and up with the n63tu motor. 40 more horsepower from the factory, updated everything (cooling system, vanos) plus more tuning options. I can only basically get a jb4 which only raises the boost. The n63tu you can get a proper tune and get stupid horsepower. I know a kid who ran 10.98 with his 650i gran coupe,, basically the same car.
@@lsantosbmw look up n63 tube they do tunes for our car. I thought the same thing the first 2 or so years I had my 550i but recently they are starting to crack into it. To be exact its Heatsync Performance Euro.
love my 2018 m550i !

We go up there all the time to six flags.
Yeezy!

How is the car after a few years? Any engine problems?

I wish I had an n63tu

@@Zuwze by the way I love your screen name LOL 🍻
You need the updated n63tu and beyond for reliability... if you get a pre 2014 model good luck
This too hard‼️🔥🔥
I literally watch this video all the time
Lol.
@@lsantosbmw I’m fiendin to get a 550xi LCI. The moment I get my inspection, I’m going to the muffler shop, like cut it all off😭😭
@@lsantosbmw yo quick question. You think I’d still get this sound wit hi-flow cats and everything else cut off
@@AYO_KO depends on which go flow car but it’s doable
@@Driven_Life I’m most likely going Catless. Between VRSF and Arm Motorsport
Had to come back and rewatch bc I’m fiendin to cop one😭😭
That black sonata was straight pipe too 💀💀💀
Yeah. He sounded good in between the buildings. That sound bouncing back is intoxicating
@@lsantosbmw how long have you had the 550?
@@E70dino around 4 years
Wow, 120k miles still running strong. How long have you had the 550? I have an x5 50i, thinking of going to heatsync tuning than jb4.
Do it. Purcell will get you right ...!
@@FiveBoroNative yeah I’m gonna hit him up as soon as I finish some preventive maintenance
is it not expected to run well around 120k miles?

Can we get a outside vid next time if you still got the setup
I have the opportunity to buy a 2015 550i with 113k on it. Is it worth it?
He'll yeah. I definitely wish I would have bought the face lifted version of this f10 chassis. The cosmetic look is better and the engine is better
@@lsantosbmw I’ve been getting told to not do it cause of the high miles but it’s in really good condition I take it for a drive on Monday, I want it lol
Did u get your cats cut off or did you by a catless down pipe bc I’m trying to find someone to cut the cats off of my 08 550i
Downpipes
Where did you get the x pipe?
Just a local muffler shop that had it in stock
Lived in Bmore all my life, never seen downtown Salisbury..where the hell are the people? Car is a monster btw
Ha ha ha. We are 20 min away from Ocean City. This is the only part of Salisbury that looks like this lol. We have a mix of country ass people and ghettos 😆
@@lsantosbmw love O.C..hit it at least twice a yr..just never hit downtown Salisbury..looks like a cool little spot tho

67k on mine . Not one issue
How’s the drone?
Not bad at all. Just loud on acceleration
What’s your insta I see you driving around sailsbury at night
I worked midnight so I drove thru Salisbury at night. Just sold it in Jan to an SU kid. Luistaco
@@lsantosbmw I saw the car last night a cookout he was with another guy in a bmw x4m competition
@Lllkxmlllr people keep sending me pics lol. Still has my decals on it
