Great thread! I continually come here looking for your next project and progress reports!! Enjoy in good health.
Appreciate it man. I've been contemplating pulling back a bit just cuz this forum doesn't seem very active compared to the F15 thread which surprised me but I assume it's just due to the average age of M5 ownership vs X5 or M3 for that manner.
I don't even own a M5, sold my 2019 M5 1.5 years ago. I drive a Porsche doesn't mean I don't appreciate your thread. Interesting and always love to see the progress and transformation
Haha well my dream is a gtr3
Porsche GT3's are great, mines a DD so not a GT3 :-)

why do you think m5 owners/leasers are turning their cars around so fast? not questioning if that's true, but rather why people do that?

Car is coming along nicely!

I would agree with this assessment. The M5 side of the house is not nearly as active. I too feel it's the age of the owner here. Affording these new normally means you are busy. Plus leasing is quite common from the business angle so folks don't get mod crazy.

I have a journal going as well if you want to check it out. Probably a few pages back though since I'm back in a procurement phase for the next round of mods. 👍

Oh bro. I've seen all of your thread. Yoirs almost made me consider buying a green one out of Cali but they wouldn't budge on price. Which was fine. I certainly wouldn't have been able to make it as clean as yours

Personally mine is going because I simply don't drive it. Since I can't go see customers or go to dinner with my wife at all it just doesn't get driven. Only driving I do is to go ride my MTB so always in my truck. It is a lot of cost to have it parked in my garage all the time.

Two really good friends lease swapped their M5 and 550xi. As for me, I just can't get myself to turn it in even though my driving is limited to fast food drive through runs and mindless weekend/evening joy rides.

Bottom line - I love the thought of the car sitting in my garage - the love affair is real and irrational.

Shoot me an email and I'll forward you to my contact at swisstrax. Super good dude. Easiest install and way easier than epoxy. Hides dirt. Blows/washes out super easy. Even have rubber versions for the walking areas for your bare feet!

So finally installed painted grille. Took 6 weeks to get here from IND despite the 10-14 business day promise. Also was given 3 different shipped days. But finally it showed up and looks great. Love how easy it is to install on the F90.

Also finally got the painted roundels. Those were on back order apparently and took like 3 weeks to come in but put those on. Also super easy.

What I found interesting is that the front roundel had ZERO two sided tape. Just snapped into the two plugs. Glad I spent time heating it up lol.

Then I assume the rear didnt as well so I didn't hear it and found it DID but luckily came off perfectly without any tape being left behind. so thank full there.

Pics to come once she's cleaned.

Can't wait to see how the install turned out. I'm also interested in the painted roundels but I'm on the fence whether it's a noticeable upgrade for me.

Idk what this is referring to lol

Edit: ok found it lol, it wasn't hard but I've taken the steering wheels apart a few times before on my other BMW. It's really all about remembering where all the wires are routed. Only like 5 screws and two clips.

I think it was $160? Got it from r33_RGSport

Break in service complete. 0w-30 oil and G4 replaced in the rear diff.

Picked up the Ultimate Care Plus package while I was there. $799. A bit higher than I wanted but still gonna be cheaper than a full break job which I'm gonna do my best to ensure they complete between now and year 3.
