                        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.Β 

                        Car is looking excellent otherwise and I love your camera skills.

                          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 intoΒ michael1972Β 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:

                                  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.

                                      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.

                                      Click the link below to go to my blog post about it. There is a dyno video and a scan of the dyno graph :)

                                          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...
