PS congrats on the M5 CS. I saw one at my local dealer last week and I was blown away. There’s nothing you can do to that car to make it any better then it already is!

Looking great man. How are you liking the HAS suspension and Soul mufflers? I have catless DP's on stock mufflers, might be considering the Soul. Have you done DP's yet?

I too switched to 5W050 because of Troy soon as I got my car home. I haven't done the thermostat yet, I've seen a few people complaining about excessive battery drain from the fan running more often. At least not till I get my electric done in the garage and get my tender hooked up for the car.

Keep it up, very tasteful mods.

HAS suspension is great, it can still get a bit lower yet the ride quaility is near OEM.

SOUL muffler is also really nice, drones a little bit on the highway but i just put it in 6th and you cant even hear it. I don't plan on doing DPs yet, i have a kid and I'm worried it might be a little bit too loud for now.
Are you burning any oil with the 5W-50?

I see, i am looking for a more planted feel, the car feels a bit squirrely honestly at high speeds, even in sport plus suspension mode.

It is pretty loud with even just DP's and mufflers, but only really in sport plus mode or stomping the gas. I do the same even now to mitigate the noise and slight drone, just throw it in comfort and let it stay in the high gears.

I was smoking a bit before making the change, and now with the 5w50 it is completely gone. I am burning what i think is regular amounts. About 1/2 quart every month or a bit longer, depending how much i drive the car.
