Here are some previous builds of mine:
2002 M3 Race Car
2015 F80 M3 Street/Track Car
And I've done others I did not document online.
Anyway, I bought this 2012 535Xi with 72,000 miles on it. Still under ESC/Maintenance Plan until 100k. Unfortunately, the previous owner kind of neglected the car, so it's not in perfect shape, but definitely workable.
I will be documenting all of the modifications I make to the car, and probably do DIY's on everything as well for the community.
I'm going to track it. Why the hell am I taking an AWD Automatic 535 and tracking it? Well, basically all of my other track cars are in some state of disarray, so this is my only running option at the moment
. I'm not going to go nuts on it, but try to make it track worthy/fun.
Here it is in all of its glory.
Here is a list of parts I have ordered so far:
BMS JB4
BMS Intake
VRSF Downpipe
ACS Springs
M5 Comp Pack Front Sway Bar
M5 Steering Wheel w/ Paddles
M Performance Pedals
M Performance Spoiler
So, the first thing I did was install a JB4 on the car. I have always been very happy with BMS products, and have run a BMS tune on both my X5d, and my F80.
Here is my JB4 Install Guide.
Planning on doing an oil change and the downpipe in the next couple days.
