Oil change is pretty straight forward right? I plan on doing mine soon, and my wife's n55 X5. Any gotchas or things I should have on hand?

Yeah really easy. Make sure you let all the oil drain before taking off the filter for the S63, I think N55 has it on top so shouldn't be a problem. If you can, also change out the oil drain bolt + washer.

The car takes about 8.4 quarts and the sucky part is that our cars don't have a dipstick. So what I did was I poured 8 quarts in, drove the car around (so it gets up to operating temperature), tested the oil level and added more if needed. Its really easy to add more, but hard to remove extra.

Also you need to buy this oil filter wretch. I went to 4 auto shops and they all didn't have the correct one for BMW. This is a must! https://www.amazon.com/86-4mm-Flutes...57CKNJ5C7C1PEE

And don't forget to reset the iDrive service.

I thought about making a youtube video about the oil change process but its hard to film and work sometimes. Maybe next oil change I've make a video.

Why change out the drain bolt,normaly it just needs a fresh sealing washer.

Personal preference; I've always just changed both of them. The washer is a definite must.

Made a hood prop with wife's circut machine today. Wasn't too bad, the transfer paper was annoying though.

Ickdeep · 09-10-2019, 10:16 PM

Finally got my replacement front lip back from the shop. I ended up just installing it at home like I did to the first one. I also changed the grill back to the black one for a little bit to see how it looks.

R.G. · 09-10-2019, 10:35 PM

Black looks better

I'd swap the roundels to an all black set as well
Would look *chef kissing fingers*

Thank you! Here is some better photos from this morning.

Now that I look at these photos, I'm going to have to adjust the M5 decal, its a little sideways.

R.G. · 09-11-2019, 02:25 PM

Looks tastefully done. 👍

You would always do a better job with your skill in replacing the damaged splitter than the place that damaged it in the first place and I agree that the black grille should stay.

Stage two tune completed. I got some fabworx downpipes installed and went with a stage two tune from BPMSport. Very happy with these downpipes. I had a set of AMS downpipes before but they smelled so bad of gas. But with these downpipes, its barely there. Also because I have no mufflers/resonators it sounds perfect. Its pretty quite if I want it to be (like under 2k rpm) but when its higher rpms, it sounds like a beast. And I can hear the turbo's spooling up much better

A little before and after video I made

Ickdeep · 09-13-2019, 11:24 AM

Decieded to back to the all black grills now that I'm stage two. I've been seeing more and more cars with the ///M colored grills and most of them aren't M cars. Plus I kinda of like the blacked out look

All black definitely looks better. Your right I too am seeing a lot of non M5's with the striped grills. Nice to have the M5 badge on the front too.

Ickdeep · 09-14-2019, 08:52 AM

Cleaned up the car and the engine for M Day meet here

Ickdeep · 09-14-2019, 10:44 PM

Meet up with a local photographer to get some photos done. Can't wait to see the proper photos

Appreciate the advice, did my oil change yesterday. Super easy.

Trick or treat..looking good. I keep lots of boiled sweets when the kids come knocking and ask them to sing a Queen song before they get them.
