What Is Stage 2 on the BMW S55?

Stage 2 is where the S55 becomes what BMW should have delivered from the factory.

By removing the factory exhaust restriction and improving airflow and charge-air cooling, Stage 2 allows tuning software to safely run:

  • Higher boost

  • Cooler intake temps

  • Faster turbo response

  • Significantly more torque

Typical Stage 2 Gains

  • +120–160 wheel horsepower

  • +140–200 lb-ft torque

  • Faster spool

  • Stronger midrange

  • Much harder top-end pull

This bundle supports pump gas, ethanol blends, and high-boost maps.


What’s Included in the BimmerTrend S55 Stage 2 Bundle

Every Stage 2 build requires a downpipe, so this bundle always includes one.

From there, you can add:

Component Purpose
High-Flow Downpipe Removes factory exhaust restriction
Intake System Increases airflow and turbo sound
Chargepipe Upgrade Prevents boost leaks & failure
Top-Mount Intercooler Keeps intake temps low
Midpipe Improves sound & exhaust flow
Tuning Software Activates Stage 2 maps

Everything in this bundle is designed to support high-boost S55 tuning without reliability issues.
