My Ride: ///M5 BEAST
Model Year: 2006
Default

another project ive been working on in my garage was dangerously close to taking the last bits of sanity i have left in this world so i took a couple hours tonight to spend some quality time with the BEAST.


here's what i got accomplished tonight:

Installed
- 12" alpine sub
- alpine mono block amp (with the plug & play harness i bought off the forum....still gotta figure out how to get my mid-range bass back from the OEM speakers tho )
- MTech V2 White LED Angel Eyes (temporary fix until i do a full revamp of my headlights)
- H&R 20mm spacers front
- RS Technik 18mm spacers rear
- Blacked out amber LED side marker lights (did this a little while ago though), thanks to Trinity!

i might switch the spacer set up around tho....the front wheels seemed like they needed the larger set...but perhaps its the other way around. more pics to come so i can get feedback...

Removed
- both charcoal filters
- that god awful Perillo Chicago license plate holder

tomorrow im right back to the other project though, so close to being done....but i saved the hardest part for last

So far no rubbing and I've been driving like a mad man. But I'm dropping it soon on H&R springs....

Either way I will be rolling the fenders...when I get my custom wheels this spring I'm going ÜBER aggressive!

Looks good. Someone on M5board had 20mm in the back. Found out it rubbed with people in the back.

Sick mods so far. I really like the interior. Keep up updated on the condition of the vinyl in a few thousand miles which won't take you long
