The S63 is already a highly capable engine even with the stock turbos. We wrote about the S63 stock twin turbos abilities in our guide about building a 700+whp S63. However, it’s simply not enough for some. A set of upgraded twin turbos has the ability to push the S63tu M5 & M6 into a…

I am utterly embarrassed to be a BMW enthusiast right now. There are no words yet invented to describe the newest G80 M3 and G82 M4. Ugly, grotesque, horrid, and hideous are the nicest way to describe these horrific cars. This will be a rather informal post with a few pictures, because I don’t know…
This post will serve as a complete guide to N54 stock fueling limitations and upgrades available. What are the limits of the stock N54 fueling system? At what power do N54 LPFP’s, HPFP’s, or port injection become necessary? How does E85 factor into all of this? We plan to answer all of these questions and…
The BMW S62 engine powers 1998-2003 M5 and 2000-2003 Z8 models. It’s an impressive engine for its time making 395hp and 370 torque from the 4.9L V8 design. However, they’re obviously aging quickly with all S62 powered BMW’s nearing two decades old. Given the age, almost any engine problems are fair game. In this post,…
We’ve written guides for many N54 bolt-on parts, but always overlook exhausts. That’s in part due to the underwhelming performance gains when compared to a tune, catless downpipes, etc. However, aftermarket exhaust set ups do have their benefits – sound and looks. In this guide, we will discuss some of our favorite exhaust set ups…
It’s crazy that BMW hasn’t learned at this point. Maybe they simply do not care. Charge pipes (CP’s) are a common failure on nearly all turbo BMWs. Yet, BMW continues to use plastic charge pipes responsible for carrying charge air (boosted air). Generally, the charge pipes hold up OK on stock boost. However, tuning for…
BMW’s F30 generation includes the F30, F31, and F34 produced from 2011 to 2019. Early models are becoming well-priced due to their age and the release of the new G20 generation 3 series. As with most 3 series, the F30 is a great success and an all-around fun, sporty chassis. Notably, the F30 generation was…
Bootmod3 (bm3) off-the-shelf flash tunes are quickly becoming one of the most popular BMW tuning options. The bm3 tune – from Pro Tuning Freaks – uses a mobile app and web interface for simple flash tuning. Their B48 tunes also offer a good selection of OTS flash maps loaded with great features. B48 owners in…
As a newer engine, B48 charge pipe (CP) failures appear less common than many of the other turbo BMW engines. However, this likely comes down to many being under warranty with few modded. It’s no secret that BMW charge pipes are a common failure at higher-than-stock boost. In this guide, we will discuss a few…
The BMW S85 is an absolutely gorgeous, Formula 1-derived, 5.0L V10 engine. With 500hp and an 8,250 redline the S85 engine sounds insane. Even as an older engine, its 100hp per liter is among the best for NA engines. It’s hard to hate a naturally aspired engine making 500hp and revving to 8,250. However, the…
Factory charge pipes are a common failure point on many modern turbo BMW engines. A charge pipe (CP) is in part responsible for carrying charge air (boosted air) to the cylinders. Unfortunately, BMW decided to use a thin, weak plastic charge pipe. The N20 CP is prone to cracking and ultimately failing at higher than…
