WOW!! I love your attention to detail. Well done Antti, and thanks for sharing your pics.

 

car looks amazing man!

 

Whoa!
Thank you all for the positive feedback!

The wheels are Iconz 830ZRC 9x20 and 10x20 .

Good looking paint is a number one for me. I couldn't stand it if the paint was all swirly. Of course there are some scratches, and for some reason they don't bug me at all, but the swirls .

Keep it coming!
What do you think about the remap? I think it was a true success.

Black smoke means power !

Damn that's a nice E60. Good job bro.

 

I was just about to type "those are IMPRESSIVE numbers!" and I saw the vid

Almost 500 lb ft - INSANE!!! Too bad we don't have diesel 5ers here in the States

 

Yes. My only concern at the moment is the clutch. For now it hasn't acted up anyhow, though. Btw there's a power/torque curve in my other thread (the link is in my signature).

Car looks good, I love metallic paints ability to hide swirl marks and fine scratches. We used to have A Edge that had black metallic paint and for 2 years it was ran thorugh the car wash about once a week and when we sold it you could not see one mark on it. Our current BMW is jet black and you can't look at it without leaving a mark

 

My car has NO swirls !

Antti, very nice car and setup.

I can see you have a quad exhaust and I'd like to ask, if your 530 didn't have originally vacuum control to open the second exhaust pipe flap?
I'm not sure if you understand what I mean, I have 535d and there is an exhaust vacuum control flap:

I was thinking about the quad exhaust as well, but just wondering, if this has nothing to do with the exhaust back pressure and than it cut affect both turbos.

 

I don't have the vacuum control, but I know many people here in Finland who have installed a quad exhaust in their 535d/335d. Some have even a full straight pipe and no problems.
