Need guidance on tune and down pipes
I have a 2014 650i F06 and I'm looking to do either of the the following:
1) just a ODBii tune 2) tune plus down pipes. I've heard the engine/exhaust sound with #2 is great which is why I'm considering. Otherwise a little extra punch and responsiness would be great. I need some guidance as I've read about mission tuning and BPM but I don't know which is best. I work a ton and don't really have a go to person for installing down pipes (not even sure who I would go to) so just looking for something easier. Budget is $1500-2k What are some good experiences some of the members have had? |

Downpipe and tune will run you more like 3K than 2 K, but is a great option - all the benefit of a tune with more power and more sound. If you are worried about the gas smell, go with hi flow cats. If you are going to keep the car for an extended period of time, buy a really good set of downpipes with ceramic coating. If you are in Tampa, i am sure there is a good tuning shop for European cars nearby - ask around.

It is also important to note that an expert on tuning the I6 is not necessarily an expert on tuning the N and S 63 motor. The tuner's work and expertise also has to line up with goals of the car owner. If the owner of a 650 is looking for a reliable tune for a hundred extra horses on his daily driver, then he doesn't want a tuner who specializes in 10 second 6 cylinder cars.
