BMW X5 Chip Tuning Modules

 

The BMW X5 was one of the first attractive SUVs. We remember 20 years ago numerous X5 tunings. The X5 was powered by the inline 6-cylinder 3-liter common-rail with 184hp. It was the engine that made its appearance in the E39 5 Series and, at the time, was the most powerful 3-liter automotive diesel in the world. It featured an inline6 engine with two overhead cam axles, four valves per cylinder, a first-generation common-rail direct injection, variable geometry turbocharger, and an air-to-air intercooler. On the E39, the power soon increased to 193hp, while on the X5, the evolution of this 6L was also expected. It was completely redesigned in distribution, turbocharger, injection system, and electronic management, and the power was 218hp with 500Nm of maximum torque.

 

BMW X5 Diesel Tuning

We installed the first CHIPBOX chip tuning additional units on the X5 3.0d 184hp with promising results in increased power and torque. However, it was with the 218hp X5 diesels that we were most satisfied in terms of performance. Already in the early 2000s, all the kits we supplied were complete with wiring harnesses with genuine BMW connectors, so assembly was very easy. All you had to do was connect the connectors to the injection system under the plastic engine cover and connect the wiring harness to the MAP sensor on the driver's side intake manifold. A few minutes later and the power output of the X5 3.0d 218hp gained an impressive 41hp and 60Nm of maximum torque!

 

Subsequent 3000 diesels came out in the catalog with higher power outputs of 235hp and 245hp, then the 286hp with the sequential bi-turbo version, then 258hp mono-turbo again, and 313hp with sequential bi-turbo, up to the most recent versions with as much as 265hp and 620Nm of maximum torque. Finally, there were the sporty X5 M50ds with 381hp and 740Nm of maximum torque, values more truck-like than car-like!

 

CHIPBOX is the advanced chip tuning additional control unit developed (also) for the BMW X5 capable of intervening on the engine's injection system and the turbo pressure management system (or turbochargers if it is multi-stage turbocharging like the 286hp X5 or the 381hp M50d with three turbochargers) using internal digital maps. The performance increase is substantial, so if you're wondering, "How can I boost BMW X5 power?" take a look at these examples:

 

X5 Diesel Examples of increased power and torque

 

BMW X5 3.0d 184hp – power increase of +35hp  torque increase of +82Nm

BMW X5 3.0d 218hp – power increase of +41hp  torque increase of +60Nm

BMW X5 3.0d 258hp – power increase of +40hp  torque increase of +60Nm

BMW X5 3.0d 286hp – power increase of +54hp  torque increase of +70Nm

BMW X5 3.0d 306hp – power increase of +58hp  torque increase of +72Nm

BMW X5 3.0d 265hp – power increase of +40hp  torque increase of +60Nm

BMW X5 3.0d 313hp – power increase of +28hp  torque increase of +47Nm

BMW X5 M50d 381hp – power increase of +72hp  torque increase of +89Nm

 

How can the BMW X5's power be selected via Smartphone?

Simple, browse the SELETRON catalog and search for your powertrain. Order the CHIPBOX CONNECT kit that allows you to make the chip tuning unit communicate with your Smartphone via an APP that allows you to select different settings and select standard or increased power and torque! Interesting, isn't it?

 

This is the ultimate technology applied to chip tuning modules for BMW X5s. We would like to remind you that this tuning does not affect the X5's ECU in the slightest. This is not a serial remapping via OBD or BDM; it is the simple installation of an external chip tuning additional unit that connects using wiring harnesses equipped with proper genuine BMW connectors. There are no irreversible changes required, and no mechanical modifications are needed. Everything can be easily restored to stock conditions without leaving any evidence!
