Thanks, I can't help it, it's a sickness. Definitely getting some wheels. Have narrowed it down to 3 choices. Hopefully deciding soon.

Thanks for the compliment. I think the color suits the big body well. OG goes all the way back to the e34s so it was nice to bring an old school color back.

As for cornering, the Comp does well as is. Of course, I've no idea what effect these Dinan mods will have but, compared to my 2017 RS7 Perf and 2018 E63S, my 2019 M5 Comp was in a different league.

On the topic of straight-line speed: get yourself a JB4 and run with it. The mods you're making are already gonna cause warranty questions so give her the power to justify the look!

PS: what's going on with the filler cap in that pic?
PPS: what's the PTP blanket... "pissed their pants" urine protection screen?
Thank you sir! Good to hear on the cornering front. M5s up till the e39 used to have a great selection of aftermarket suspension components. Then it has slowly declined. Now there are only three things. Better than nothing I suppose.

When it comes to power I'm utilizing a lessons learned approach here. Popped the weasel on my f10 so I rather not go through that expense again. Warranty only solutions for now. Currently that leaves me with Racechip for a piggyback or CarBahn for a flash tune. I will be doing almost all hardware though. It's only when messing with the software that you truly kiss your warranty goodbye.

Btw to your PTP comment. I definitely hand out one to each occupant. Have to protect the interior somehow. The blanket is actually another form of heat protection for the engine bay. It has been compatible with all other s63 M cars so I'm hoping it works here. Sits on top of the metal heatshield for the initial cats/turbos to help take care of the heat. The heat is atrocious in the engine bay so anything is better than nothing.

A link if you are still curious:

Missing gas cap is a hint of the next round of mods. Needed to send it to IND for paintmatch.

Not as crazy as your e60 M5 good sir!
