What did you do to your M5 today?

PRKELLY · 11-03-2018, 07:34 AM

New front bumper went on due to paint issues with the former.

M5Rick · 11-03-2018, 02:07 PM

Squeezed the beast into my crowded garage, frosty nights have come!

During the late Spring, my wife picked up a '18 X5 which came with something called Hexagon Aluminum Trim. I really liked the way it looked and after trying carbon fiber for a while I decided to switch things up a bit. Our cars come with Aluminum trace so thought this might be a bit unique. I threw in a few pics of my ceramic controls as well...Enjoy!

Any chance of opening the hood and taking a peek at the full install please and anything else you did as concerns fettling them in e.g. how was the idle tick over, did it need adjusting and any coding involved..

There a direct fit, probaly better gains to be had with a custom map though

Hi. Pop over to the Engine, Exhaust, Mod section and take a look at Pikey Motorsports thread about the Project Gamma Intakes. There’s more pics there and install answers.

In a nutshell install was pretty basic. A little time consuming for one side and you’ll really need to pull the tubing towards the front of the engine to make the filters fit. Once you figure one side the other side is 30 mins or lesss.

I was running a Stage 2 Tune already and after install it worked flawlessly and no idle issues. Before my stage 2 I was stock with Burger Motor Sports Intakes and had no issues.

M5Rick · 11-08-2018, 04:34 AM

Ok Thanks.

Lightfytr · 11-08-2018, 12:48 PM

Had my inexpensive ebay carbon fiber diffuser installed. This isnt very high quality at all but with a good bodyshop installing it, it can look good. I'm happy, but you get what you pay for.

Here is the link.

I swear people are smoking crack when they say the F90 interior is light years better than this. This looks fantastic.

2Live4 · 11-08-2018, 09:03 PM

OEM 20" 343M wheels for winter?

Why not! Just mounted them tonight. Tires are Dunlop Winter Sports 265/35/20 on 4 corners. The rears are a little stretched as expected.

SapphireM5 · 11-09-2018, 09:53 AM

Just swapped out to blue start stop button. 2 second swap.

Did you remove the whole dash or did you use the putty to yank the button out?

Used the putty, got it on there really good and yanked. Took literally 30 seconds to swap out. No damage to stock button so I can swap back if I want to in future.

Sorry not yet...my tire shop is swamped with mounting winter tires right now. It's going to be a few weeks.

I got 305's for the rear

m5 guy · 11-20-2018, 09:59 PM

Couldn't decide on center caps so got both 70mm and 80mm centers.
