Quit flexing. I'm over here getting crushed to death in the market trying to buy a house and your having all the fun I want to have.
Man that carbon fiber sure did turn back around. good job.

And agreed, was pleasantly surprised that the carbon turned out so good. When I have most of the Dinan intakes out of the car to install the charge coolers, I'll probably give them a light treatment too so they can pop like the engine cover does. Quote:
I didn't even try to return the cap I purchased as I'd already unpacked it (currently trying to sell it for a discount on the F80/F82 classifieds), but was disappointed IND had this listed as a fit for the F10 M5. I should have investigated closer before pulling the trigger. I would have been even more upset if I'd paid $147 for a painted version to discover that. In the same order I made with IND for the Goldenwrench caps, I also picked up one of the Weistec billet oil filter housing cap, but it was backordered a few weeks. Arrived yesterday and I'm impressed with the build quality. Definitely got charged the M tax at $209, but dealing with the OEM oil filter housing assembly has not been enjoyable to deal with on the few oil changes I've done so far. I will report back if this makes the process easier or not. |

IND just came out with their own vesion for the oil filter cap. Please keep us updated on the Weistec brand as I'll be looking for this next oil change.
M tax is REAL! lol.

As some of you may have seen, after less than a year I have my 20" BBS CH-R + Michelin PS4S setup up for sale in the classifieds section. There is a very good reason.

Congrats, stunning wheels, BBS FI-R forged are the lightest and one of the best looking wheels out there. I believe this set was offered here a while back and resurfaced, right? I was so tempted and the price was right, but shipping to Germany made it cost prohibitive
Anyways, fantastic setup Sir, keep going. I'm really looking forward to seeing the wheels on your M5! |

Can't wait to see the fitment. Probably you will need spacers for the rear.

And yes, purchased them from Used2be recently. Thanks to him for setting up shipping to me here in NC and for keeping them in such great shape. Quote:

Compared to my last setup running 12mm spacers all around -- this setup with no spacers only sits about 3mm less aggressive in the rear with a 305 rear tire. These were made specifically for the F10 M5, so not running was spacers was one of the main reasons I went with this configuration. Can't wait to get it out in the sunlight for a full photoshoot once I get the CSF coolers installed and buttoned up. Here's a teaser shot for now... |

Oh yes, those are perfect fit, I thought you got FIR as someone posted on your for sale post. FI were made for F10 M5. Little heavier than FIR but the difference was so small that you can't ever notice that!

I managed to spend a few hours over the weekend taking apart the engine bay in preparation for installing the new CSF charge cooler setup. There were a few posts scattered online regarding DIY of the charge cooler upgrade that I referenced along the way, but removal was pretty straightforward. I took my time with all clips/fittings and managed to yank everything out without breaking anything. I put plastic bags over the exposed openings where the coolers and intake used to be just to be safe.
I hope installation of the new pieces go as smoothly. I'm already paranoid about gouging the fresh white powder-coated finish so hopefully there won't be too much forceful encouragement needed to fit these. The space seems really tight. The next step will be to swap everything over from the OEM coolers to the CSF coolers starting with the throttle bodies.

then you will need to run spacers on the rear for flush look, and some negative camber on front as fronts are more aggressive than FI
BBS FI-R 20x9.5 +22 19.0lbs / 20x10.5 +35 20.0lbs (those were made for F80/F82 M3/M4) (weight was from tire rack) BBS FI 20x9.5 +26 19.7lbs / 20x10.5 +28 20.4lbs (those were made for F10 M5) (weight was from tire rack) |
