Vass 889 Report post Posted January 14 The engine's barely broken in at that mileage. Just bought an X5 with the same M57N engine with 290k on the clock and it's ticking along beautifully. Delete the swirl flaps & EGR and it'll easily be good for another 200k with basic servicing. Bimmertune have some good kits with free shipping. My main concern with it would be the transmission. Looks like it's rocking a 5-speed GM which don't have the greatest reputations. The recent flush might be a good thing, or could be a red flag. I'd grab a scan tool along and see if there's any codes saved in the EGS module. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However when internet tuners start mucking around with them you can get issues. I would want more details of the tune to understand how well it’s been done. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
