My Ride: 545i
Default Crusher103 is here.

New here, just bought a black on black 04 E60 545i. It replaces our old war horse we nicknamed slowhite, a 1996 Infiniti I30, it was taken out by a tree with 330k on the clock still running strong . Im mechanically inclined so im not too worried about its small problems but i will only be doing the maintenance and small repairs. Im well aware of the infamous oil leaks(valve covers, timing cover, alternator bracket). Just some rough cell phone shots, havent had a chance to take decent pics:

As you can see Im coming from the world of Nissans, in specific Maximas. I have a turbo one i haven't yet finished the car yet but its still in the works, projected output is in the high 300 if not a little over 400whp. The car will do nothing but spin all the way through 4th gear IF the transmission holds lol. Pics of it Yes its an Infiniti I30 but it is the exact same car underneath as a 95-99 maximas:

And here is a testing run of the car, a 25-80 pull at :40:

The E60 probably is not going to see many if any upgrades just maintenance as the I30 keeps my hands full most of the time. Not even an intake i already have a loud car in the I30 dont need anymore noise. But the DIY will be hella helpful.
