What did you do to your M5 today?

[Blaxwil]

No the F10. Lol

[Mitchell431]

Time to do some sketchy s#!+ 😂 When a special press or tool is needed and all shops are closed. I had to get a little creative and sketchy cause I'm an impatient guy (I'm sure I'll get crap for this but it worked hahaha)!!! Added power flex bushings a guy named balut recommended. Hopefully the LM will tuck a little better in the front.

They were definitely a pretty penny but also supposedly more hp being a better flowing inlet. 😅

It'll handle closer to an F1 car now Mitchell with those Toyo triple 8R's fitted also, I'd say it's coming very close to what you want if not there already.

Let’s hope! Sad but I’m coming to a near end on this build and I’m happy with how it’s gone! As for the inlets who knows for sure though 🤔

You can enjoy driving it now when you have sorted the wheel alignment and suspension height/camber to your liking.

Let us know how it goes.

[Mitchell431]

Here it is all aligned! It does rub a little which I kinda figured. Surprisingly more in the rear than the front. 285/30R20 and 315/30R20. No issues with traction I will be turning the boost up and will report back 🫡

does changing those allow you to get less negative camber in the front?

It allows you to adjust +/- 0.5 degrees I actually needed them for negative camber to tuck the 285 I put up front!

Looks good, that's about as low as I would go if I were doing mine.

Lucky number 7

[M5_Raz]

Got the (in)famous M Performance carbon fiber gas cap cover

[2Live4]

Started replacing fluids and filters.
Day 1 - replacing rear differential fluids.

[2Live4]

Day 2 - replacing cabin and engine filters. I found it’s easier to work on replacing the cabin filters if you put the car on jacks or rhino ramps (in my case). Good idea to replace these when you’re doing oil changes.

[vafan13]

Made my last payment on the M5. Own it free and clear now!

[tmvatlanta]

Annual oil and filter change. I drive less than 5k miles a year.
Had the A/C Condenser replaced.

Next on the list: Diff fluid, plugs and coils, brake fluid.

Gave it a wash and cleaned up the engine bay. Been driving it for the past couple of weeks while my daily was getting some suspension work.
