Hi, do you have an Instagram account for this car? Haven't seen much pics of it on IG other than the IND pics.

Not yet. Waiting on the downpipes first so they can be installed at the same time.

Aloha Everyone, long time no update! I have been gathering parts for two more rounds. Interior and power. Interior almost done and power is kind of a no rush because ecu's are not remote tunable yet. In the meantime I went down the rabbit hole a little bit further with an oil change.
Not just any oil change mind you, more of a remove the oil pan and add a titanium oil diverter valve oil change. If you are going to do it might as well go all out right?! Anyways this little mod has done wonders for my oil temp. The gauge is an actual gauge now instead of just dummy pegged in the center. Driving over the mountain at a steady state? Oil cooler and noticeable on the gauge. Sitting in traffic? Noticeable in the gauge. Basically the diverter valve just makes the oil go through the oil cooler all the time instead of it being based on a temp switch. Very helpful here in Hawaii and when on boost. Valve is found here if anyone is interested: https://n63intake.com/products/n63-n...l-cooler-valve Also switched from oem water to actual oil with some weight in it. 0-w30 is just ridiculous for Hawaii and this motor so 15-w50 went in. To top it off had the Weistec filter container installed to complete the ridiculous oil change. A few pics for the journal that my mechanic took during the process. |

Kimo what a build and very informative. The oil diverter valve looks like a simple change sitting next to the filter. According to the manufacturer site i would not need to remove the oil pan is that correct? Seem like a no brainer and was wondering is it that simple? Seems like a mod anybody in warm climates should do and something that any normal BMW tech would not notice. Thanks want to purchase your car when your done with it.

Now, with the new diverter, does your oil temp reach the temps it did while stock when you’re on boost for a considerable time? Our gauges aren’t the most precise, but can you estimate the lower oil temp you now run when you’re not on boost? |

This mod plus a better weight oil has made all the difference over here for me. It may be placebo, but I feel like the motor is happier if that makes sense. |

I never thought I'd like green, but this one I do.
How does an M5 hold up in Hawaii? I thought the high humidity and heat and salt air would do a number on the car and make it hard to maintain? Compared to California for example. |

The issue with trim incase you don't know is that the door trims are plastic welded to the doors. As such most aftermarket or consumers want to deal with breaking the welds, switching pieces, and getting them jb welded back on. However with this proof of concept being so successful I think I might pursue it. As a last mod type of thing. Quote:

Do not know the answer to that one, sorry. |

Aloha Guys,
Changed wheels recently and wanted to show some pics from a couple shoots I had. The new wheels are 21 inch BBS FI-Rs in custom white gold finish. Special thanks to Ryan and the entire staff at IND for the continued support. Also finally started posting on social media, Instagram is 808bot if anyone is curious. |

Mod Update:
So it has been a bit since I last updated this thread. Added the BBS, which I reposted above. Been compiling my next round of mods over the past yearish or so. Car goes in the shop this Saturday. List of parts for this round: 1. Supersprint Headers with swaintech white lightning coating 2. Supersprint catted downpipes with swaintech white lightning coating 3. Akrapovic exhaust - If it ships in time. If not gets installed a month from now 4. Thermostat 5. Carbahn Stage 2 package - charge coolers, radiators, boost sensors, and software 6. LCI tail lights 7. CS trunk spoiler 8. Turbo blankets 9. New rear shock mounts I think that's it this go around for parts. Also flushing all fluids and changing the spark plugs and exhaust gaskets to give the car the best possible start with these go-fast mods. I should hopefully get some pics of the progress and will be sure to post. Any questions about anything just let me know. |
