My Ride: 08 535ix
Noob from Minneapolis.... my e60 xdrive 6m 400awhp
I've been lurking this among other boards, active on n54tech and my FB group.
Picked this 08 535xi up last fall, with 60k on the clock. Was a one owner trade with noisy wastegates, had them promptly replace under warranty. Once done I began my trek to where I am today. Over the winter I dynoed on a dynodynamics awd dyno (known to be a heart breaker) and made 399 at the wheels with significant heat soak on the stock IC, Could like have cracked the 400 mark if they were running their fans and I had better fuel (was running e70 at the time)
Onto the mods: Im running a JB4 with a custom back end flash for fueling, a Fuel-it in tank LPFP allowing me to run straight e85 from the pump, AFE Twin DCI, (have a v-mount IC I plan to install in the next week or so) thats about it for go fast mods, once down pipes become reasonable I am likely going to add them. With all of the sucess with inlets I may fab a set of those as well.
Other mods are visual, tint, H&R springs, M6 Replica wheels semi gloss black grilles and M5 rep front bumper and sides just went on as well. Inside is stock other than a BMW weighted shifter.
Its my DD so I'm not going too crazy with much more mods.
Needs a good wash, clay-bar and waxing.

Welcome to the forum! I shall now greet you with an E60 themed haiku:
Minneapolis
BMW is nice
I like your good wheels
