I like this car all around except for one big no no. You put BBS centercaps on ESM's=/
I am not hating on you for having reps but I never got why people put BBS caps on wheels that weren't made by BBS.ย
Car is looking excellent otherwise and I love your camera skills.

ย You put BBS centercaps on ESM's=/
It really irks me when people put STR centercaps on BBS wheels

Got my intake valves cleaned at A-Spec Tuning in Schaumburg, Illinois on Thursday. Couldn't be happier!
I ran intoย michael1972ย down there, who had his 335i on the dyno before getting his valves cleaned.
Check out my blog post for more high-res pictures and details:

Wow those get nasty, what is the recommended cleaning interval?
They say every 40-50k miles. I have 84k and it had never been done. However, I do have an oil catch can, which helps to reduce the problem a little bit.

Great pics, love the wheels! ย Do you ever have the urge to walk up to the car, put your one arm on the roof, and give the windshield a noogie with your other hand?
Didn't see this post but I did see you at Beyond Redline today! Nice meeting you and I look forward to seeing that M5 again
Anyways, I went to the dyno today to get baseline numbers before I order JB4 and possibly some downpipes.
She put down 283whp and 292wtq with just a drop-in air filter and catback exhaust.

That is pretty impressive!

I ordered JB4 and the BMS clutch stop last week and got around to installing both this weekend. Very happy with both products! I even found a little surprise while installing JB4 that you can read about on my blog, just click here.
Ben (GunMetalGrey) came over and helped, plus then we had a blast testing it out. I filled up with a mix of 93 octane/E85 and was amazed on map 5! There is no traction until 3rd gear...
-
I'm still amazed that something so reasonably priced and easy to put in gave it so much extra power! I look forward to more modifications!
