Want to mod my 14 550i
Just leased this awesome beast!
Although nothing is fast enough... So far I have a muffler delete done (sounds amazing) Got my wheels powdercoated high gloss black and lowered on HR Sport Springs. Gloss black grill and M Performance Carbon Spoiler What should I do to make it faster? Was told the 14 has 445 horsepower as opposed to the 13 with 400 horses. New to forum and would love some input. Thanks!

Very nice.
You should ask badblack550xi about making your 550ifaster. http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=939454

Looks nice - enjoy it!
Regarding the BMS tune, most people here haven't had problems with anything warranty related. If you're really concerned, you can remove it prior to dealer visits (as some do) - but from the sound of it, many people just leave it in without issue (at least for routine visits - oil changes, etc). I'm not speaking from personal experience, though.

Tune and downpipe coming next week, anyone know how I can save some money on downpipe? It's very expensive everywhere else. Thanks!

Practise installing and removing the BMS tune yourself - I removed mine in about 10 minutes while waiting for a tow when the injectors on my 550 blew. Since I knew it must have been a serious issue, I chose to remove the tune and not have to deal with any warranty squabble.
Just my 0.02c Sweet ride btw Quote:

That's correct. The 2011 - 2013 550's have 400hp. Power is up (445hp / 480lb-ft) for 2014. The pre-LCI cars had the N63 engine. The LCI cars have the N63Tu, which aside from being up on power, also has a bunch of changes including new injectors.
