Hey Guys, Just joined the CCA! Hopefully I'll be around to make it to a lot of your events and I love the community and culture as a whole and finally made the decision to jump into it! I currently own a 2002 BMW M5 that i bought a few years ago in 2012. I absolutely love the car and its had a few common issues to address here and there but its such a blast and I can't wait to get it to some shows! There are a lot of mods done to the car so I'll list the ones I can remember so far haha: Imola red II/ Black sport interior with black piano interior trim Euro Hella lights roof painted BMW Jet Black shadow kidney grills finned rear diffuser UUC short shift kit with DSSR ultimate pedal set Rogue Engineering Delrin shift knob Active Autowerks CAI, Eurobahn carbon fiber plenum cover Evolve Stage 5 MAF-less dyno tune Schrick 268 camshafts SuperSprint headers SuperSprint X-Pipe SuperSprint 100 cell race cats Eisenmann Race mufflers Ignition Solution plasma coil packs iridium spark plugs BHS underdrive pulley system Zionsville large capacity aluminum radiator Dinan 3.45 differential Brembo 4 piston big brake kit with stainless steel lines open brake ducts w/ grill Eibach swaybars w/ beast power brackets KW Variant II coilovers Power Flex polyurethane bushings ground control camber plates LM style wheels w/ stud conversion kit and zinc wheel nuts I love driving it and it is definitely not cosmetically perfect or a garage baby either!
Thanks! I really want to pull the heads off and get them more performance oriented...port and polish. BMW could have given customers a little more power out of these S62 motors from the factory unfortunately but still a great car to drive and I plan to keep it for life
I want to keep it as a naturally aspirated car I think I just love the feeling..... but its just a personal preference I know a lot of people go the S/C route for much more horsepower. I don't know when I would do the heads though probably once its higher mileage then I can do a rebuild too and kill both birds with one stone! I know Evolve does head work, and so does VAC but its pricy from them. I know Dinan does it too but they are pretty conservative for port and polish I've heard....
