My Ride: '05 545i M - Sepang Bronze
Default

So i picked up an m5 in august and thanks to eloy at RPi was hoping to turn the beast into a monster. There were a lot of speed bumps along the way with massive ecu programming issues and huge engine misfire problems that plagued the car for months after all the mods were installed. But after everything the car is finally done and ready for the summer since as of now there car is asleep for the winter since this is canada and the snow is not our friend. I figured i put up some pictures of the project in progress and a couple of the final product. These were taken with my blackberry so more high quality pictures and videos will be up come summer time.

Performance mods are dual air intake scoops+filters, pulley, oil cooler, headers, full exhaust w/o cats. Those all came from RPi. Got a custom ecu tune written because the one I originally bought from RPi just didn't seem to be working, was getting random fault codes. KW V3 suspension, and a couple of things from Dinan, such as front strut tower brace, rear shock tower brace, sway bar.

I'm hoping for a Brembo big brake kit in the summer time, that should be the end of all the money wastage. Haha.
