What did you do to your M5 today?

Ickdeep · 09-08-2020, 01:20 PM

Washed the car from the weekend, cleaned the interior and even cleaned up the engine bay.

SpeedProtocol · 09-09-2020, 10:11 AM

Talk about an expensive alignment. I hope they are paying for it.

Doctor_X · 09-09-2020, 03:12 PM

^^ Can you believe that? I’ve had a hard time recovering from the whole thing. They’re paying for the new lip, but it doesn’t excuse the fact that they are careless bastards.

M5Rick · 09-10-2020, 09:01 AM

^ Risky fitting that lip on lowered car like yours but if you like it,fine. Was thinking about another one similar to what no.1134 has got with those two race like brace rods supporting it,I'm lovin' it

You’re not alone my dude.

This month hasn’t been good to me.

2 week old HRE’s:

Doctor_X · 09-11-2020, 06:07 PM

^^
$380 repair per wheel, two wheels involved
$340 round trip shipping
$100 dismount/mount/balance

Per Tristan at HRE: 4-6 weeks turnaround

Total: $1100 and 4-6wks downtime

I’ll never own another set of HRE’s.

Where are these shipped too? Dang that's horrible. Sorry to hear. Those wheels are the shit tho.

Doctor_X · 09-11-2020, 06:42 PM

Arizona to California.

Paying more for wheels doesn’t necessarily mean you get better service OR quality.

Hit a single pothole and it bent two of them. I’ve never seen a wheel bend this easily.

Lesson learned.

Not good is it...

HRE are supposed to be top quality wheels (and are certainly priced as such).

It's a shame to hear that the durability and aftersales service is not at the standard that it should be.

Wow! What did you hit?! I thought forged wheels were supposed to be the strongest 🤷🏻 That really sucks man, especially two weeks in.

Aceway · 09-11-2020, 11:06 PM

Hit a windshield wiper or something driving on the 405. LA county has been doing a shit job cleaning debris off the freeways. Hoping a good PDR guy can fix this.

Ouch - that's quite the whack Aceway.

I would have thought access would be a problem in that position on the A pillar - hopefully I'm wrong though and a PDR guy can get it sorted for you. Looks like it has also damaged the paint though so the only way it'll be perfect again is if it goes to a panel shop.

Yeah I'm gonna get a quote from my body shop and hope for the best. Going to fix it and and not drive the car for a while out of fear haha.

wallyman424 · 09-12-2020, 09:19 AM

Installed a used afe intake. Nice quality, fitment was perfect. Not as much intake noise increase as I was expecting, but nice nonetheless.

The A pillar you can pdr but the paint is scratched. The other trim detacheable, you can buy that and repaint it.

If it doesnt work for you, then repaint the pillar.Doesnt really look that bad if someone can pdr it expertly.

Ickdeep · 09-15-2020, 12:49 PM

Took the car to the detailer. Giving the car a once over in prep of the new owner.
