What did you do to your M5 today?

MFM5 · 11-06-2022, 08:10 PM

Installed carbon wheel, paddles, shifter and DCT trim. The wheel is from CarbonCityCustoms. The quality is nice and it's heated, but only the leather portion heats up. Wish the leather extended another few inches on the top portion of the wheel.

Nice wheel and goes with your dash trim and the other items.

Just relocated to Florida a week ago so decided to finally get a ceramic coat. I went with the Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic Coating. Looks great minus the rock chips on my front bumper.

The wheel swap was pretty straight forward. I took a few close-ups of how the harness was routed and took my time while referring to the pics. Took about an hour including swapping the paddle shifters.

I mean specifically the DCT trim

Not sure how they mold the carbon to the OEM wheel frame. They definitely strip down to the frame. The carbon portion is solid. I did not weigh the original wheel nor the carbon wheel, but I don't think their is much of a weight difference, if any.

Sorry, did not read your post correctly. Yes, the DCT trim install was a pain. Probably 3 hours due to disassembly of the center portion of the console, then figuring out how to swap over the buttons, then modifying the mounting surface of the carbon trim so it fits the console snugly. Quite a bit of light work with a small die grinder, drilling-out holes, test fitting, followed by more careful grinding and drilling. It was challenging, but really like the look.

For me it was just because of one little screw that was inside the module of the buttons I didn't take off so it was a pain trying to take it off

Maintenance items completed today by my Indy mechanic @ Bavarian Autotechs in Fullerton, CA: fresh Castrol 0w40 w/OEM filter, brake fluid flush and fill, installed BMW OEM front rotors & Ferodo pads. Gave her a proper wipe down using 3D Final Touch detailer.

SpeedProtocol · 11-14-2022, 10:36 AM

Let see, this weekend....

Detailed the shit out of the car, went BPM Stage1, new battery

, ran half mile event.

It was eventful, and at times stressful.

The car is in a pretty awesome state right now all around.

Awesome! Did you consider DME Tuning Stage 1 by chance?

M5_Adis · 11-17-2022, 10:48 AM

Slapped the Oem chrome grills back on with the winter setup. Safe to say chrome > black grilles with silver wheels.

vafan13 · 11-24-2022, 03:34 PM

Went out for one last drive, then put 'er in sleep mode. Hopefully the almost 4 months until I get it back out again goes quickly! Happy Thanksgiving all!

SlimM5 · 11-26-2022, 01:37 PM

Another milestone! Many more to come.

MarcF10 · 11-29-2022, 01:28 PM

I modded my OEM exhaust this morning. Resonator and back boxes. Sounds really good. Nothing very loud or annoying but a sportier tune. Especially when you rev it up. Worth the cost too. £500 is nothing compared to the alternatives. They asked if I wanted tips but I said who cares - could use the money to buy downpipes instead
