Who is going to mod their M5?

I’m curious who is going to be modding these. I have a bad history of not leaving cars alone, but this time I think I will.

With a new drivetrain like this, it seems things could get expensive FAST.

I think I may just do intake and exhaust. No tunes or piggyback for me this time, but I’m curious to hear what others are thinking.

I think it would be straight-up retarded to mess with these cars. The cost of fixing out-of-warranty engine failures or PHEV failures will be astronomical. And for what? To go maybe 1/4 of a second faster from 0-60?

I am the crazy to do it
I had jb4 intake and inlet and drop in filters on my M8s and previous cars and this will be the same
The engine is way undertuned and it will wake up with a tune
XM people did not have problems with piggy back

I’ve thrown a piggyback on every BMW I’ve owned, and if i got an F90 it wouldn’t be any different. I never care about 0-60 times, but I love the way it knocks the dust off the factory-tuned throttle response. I usually just run a low-ish map fwiw, and typically will run a res delete/x pipe and that’s it.

Not messing with the drivetrain. I didn't on my F95 either. No point having that risk to be .2 secs faster. I rather drive it without any worries at all.

I will be doing drop in air filters and taking out the charcoal filter, carbon Turbo inlets, secondary DPs, and full Exhaust. As soon as the tunes come out, I will be doing a stage 1 Carbahn tune so I don't affect the warranty.
