My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.

Congrats!

Does it feel more powerful? Are you going to combine it with a Dinan Stage 2 ECU reflash?
Haven't taken it on the highway yet. Let you know tomorrow. Not going with the ECU reflash.

Just one. Rizbel told me this one.

One more thing I forgot to mention is to take the mounting bracket holding the cylinder like thing off, by pulling it then unbolt the bracket.

When the bracket is removed just set that thing down and back so you have more room for the flex tubing to go into the M5 duct.



I'm trying to figure out how you mate the M5 duct to the tubing.

Do you have a layout of how you connected everything. Thanks.

Yes I've read a couple diys and have most of the parts. What would you say is the easiest way to install the m5 duct. Thanks for your help.

Great mod. Now perhaps you could give your engine a little love in cleaning that bad boy up with some P21S total autowash.

This mod is cool but it does not work for I6 engines, there isn't enough space (I tried)
