Lowered the rear a few more millimeters, this is about as good as the fitment will get on H&R springs.
Previous owner thought the injectors were on their last legs so I decided to dig into my library of lightly used coils and injectors. The original index 7 injectors with many miles were replaced with some index 9 injectors with ~60k on them. Cleaned and refreshed with obligatory seals.
Cleaned them good
Real good!
Ready for install
Coding injectors
Decided to inspect the transfer case actuator.
Happy to report all looked good. Nice to see BMW addressed the issue on previous actuators by replacing the plastic gears with metal ones, wish they would do the same for their water pump impellers.
Cleaned up and repacked with fresh grease
Guibo was toast, thankfully I had my old XI guibo left over from my RWD conversion. center support bearing looked fine.
Actuator and guibo reinstalled.
Clean as you go
Cleaned vanos solenoids MAF, easy to do an eliminates potential variables for a rough running motor.
The small pin arrived so I could connect my steering wheel paddles to the connector in the DME box.

Before & After on the Valves
Flushed front and rear diff fluid, I hate the smell of gear oil.
Decided to give the XHP X-Delete a shot. It allows you switch between AWD and RWD, the flash takes about 90 seconds.
Removed F Driveshaft to ensure no parasitic loss
M5 door handle/trim and individual for the front door cards which are on their way
M5 rear sway bar, M5 brakes, and RWD rear hubs
Stock Vs M5
Got an alignment done
Replaced electronic gear selector with the late model SAT unit
After
Coded the vehicle order to reflect the upgrade gear selector ($205 -> $2T
![Cool](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/cool.gif)
A couple glamour pics, can't wait to build the front door panels
Dinan muffler was way too quiet IMO, it sounded like stock. Sold it and did a muffler delete with a Vibrant tip. More sound, more character, less weight, and left over money to pay for more upgrades
Replaced broken cargo floor handle
Replaced missing outlet plugs

With some fuel mixture codes popping up and one time specifying Bank 1 I decided to replaced the Bank 1 pre-cat O2 sensor. What a pain. Had to remove liners, drop subframe, remove engine mount and engine mounting arm to finally get a wrench on that mofo.

I’m very curious about your XHD x delete. I’m not interested in it personally but want to hear from others how it feels on an E60.
