My Ride: 08 535ix
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I've been lurking this among other boards, active on n54tech and my FB group.
Picked this 08 535xi up last fall, with 60k on the clock. Was a one owner trade with noisy wastegates, had them promptly replace under warranty. Once done I began my trek to where I am today. Over the winter I dynoed on a dynodynamics awd dyno (known to be a heart breaker) and made 399 at the wheels with significant heat soak on the stock IC, Could like have cracked the 400 mark if they were running their fans and I had better fuel (was running e70 at the time)
Onto the mods: Im running a JB4 with a custom back end flash for fueling, a Fuel-it in tank LPFP allowing me to run straight e85 from the pump, AFE Twin DCI, (have a v-mount IC I plan to install in the next week or so) thats about it for go fast mods, once down pipes become reasonable I am likely going to add them. With all of the sucess with inlets I may fab a set of those as well.
Other mods are visual, tint, H&R springs, M6 Replica wheels semi gloss black grilles and M5 rep front bumper and sides just went on as well. Inside is stock other than a BMW weighted shifter.
Its my DD so I'm not going too crazy with much more mods.

Needs a good wash, clay-bar and waxing.
