Lots of updates on the white wagon...

New plugs
New coils
New index 12 injectors
New low pressure fuel sensor
Walnut blast
Added a BimmerTech rear-view camera and finally got the Bavsound speakers installed.

Runs sooooo much better... music sounds better... and I can see what my PDC sensors are beeping about!

Turns out that there was a mix of injectors, one was leaking. Spark plugs indicated that the old bank of injectors were crap. Three of coils had failed housings.

Still need to do some more JB4 tuning and play with the wagon's ride height and stance.

Coming along nicely though.

My Ride: e61 / KW V3 / JB4 / M5 Rear Sway / FDL Coded / SAT Retrofit w GKE flash / ER FMIC / BMS DCI
Model Year: 2010
Engine: N54
Default Headlight Resto

Polished all of the sand pitting out of my headlights before having them clear-coated and re-installing them back in the wagon with the new M5 front end!

Also put LED turn signals in them to replace the old bulbs and complete the full de-ambering!

Did you remove the amber "cat-eye" LEDs on the upper rear edge of the headlight housing?

Since the LEDs themselves aren't amber, I'm not going to the trouble of removing them. Just planning to disconnect their power connection internally in the headlight assembly.

I finally got time to start ISC Coilovers installation!



Installation process is super easy.... Started with rear, FINALLY my car will be free from "air suspension"!











For now I will have this at regular hight, when all four side will be installed, than I'll mess with settings:
