Project ColdList Silverstone F10 M5 build thread

Hello all,

I am new to this forum but certainly not new to classy modding on BMWs or BMW boards. I figured the best way to introduce myself would be a build thread on my latest M5.

Enjoy!

-Mike

Ah, nothing like a fresh canvas...one which I SWORE that I would not mod. Well, that was the sentiment that was told my unsuspecting precious little wife on a Thursday when "Mike the sweet, conservative, loving husband" was appeasing her as he was about to sign on the dotted line. But by Saturday, the clouds grew dark, the skies parted to reveal a glimmering full moon that lit the midnight sky......Dr. Frankenstein arose form his sleep and the madness began. Endless thoughts raced through my brain sending charges down my spine to my electrified fingertips as they began dancing away on the keyboard....mmuuuhhahahahaha.......what was out there waiting to be infused into my newest creation? Where were those evil little parts and pieces that magnetized my soul and fed my sickness?! I'll find them and I'll find them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mmuuuhahahahahaha.

OK she had to know. C'mon, like I was not going to mod this one too? I guess she just loves me. For that I let her help choose the exhaust (I did overrule the wheels).

Here we go my friends. Give me 30 days and she should look stunning!
