F90 M5 Cape Cod Photoshoot - FotiosF90M5 finally done!
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com It really is a very classy and elegant BMW, yet extremely capable and rewarding to drive. In my opinion this LCI M5 is BMW’s best looking modern car and one of the all time great icon cars. Part of the fun of modding is learning how to do a lot on my own , everything but suspension upgrades were done by me and I’ve learned quite a bit along the way, especially with the audio system which sounds incredible now thankfully. Just need to improve my RTA audio tuning skills Not many custom tuning or audio specialists near the cape to help. Now on to the good stuff…pictures and the list of mods. A quick thank you to Coleton Morgon @Bostoncarchaser https://www.instagram.com/bostoncarchaser/?hl=en who did this gorgeous photoshoot for me, extremely talented kid and has a knack for automotive vision with photography, great work. A thank you as well for my BMW dealerships Genius, Chris Riley @ Chris’s Bimmers (@chris_bimmers) https://www.instagram.com/chris_bimmers/ who is much, much more than a BMW genius and has created a ton of valuable videos on BMW's for the masses and also was the one who introduced me to Coleton. To my dealership ( South Shore BMW in MA ) for helping source many of the mods. My BMW tech, Steve O'neil, he’s the only one who does any work on my M5 and is an excellent tech, does most of the M cars here as well. Last but certainly not least a big thank you to my wonderful wife for putting up with my constant car stuff and the many " what do you think" questions lol.

Many of the pictures were taken right near the cape cod canal at the base of the Sagamore Bridge, for you curious non locals. Beautiful area, especially this time of year.

Thanks!! It really made the wheels pop. Powder coating is quite affordable actually. Like 170 per wheel. Any color.

Beautiful & simply awesome! I really appreciate you sharing these pics with us all
The devil is in the details: especially in your audio upgrades. I particularly loved the tweeters under the front seat headrests.

Thx so much! Those mid tweeters really help with instruments, makes you feel submersed in the music and helps with overall depth. Funny a year ago I knew nothing about car audio, now I’m installing my own system lol. Very frustrating learning curve but worth it.

My hats off to you, what an incredible build. I can't imagine the number of hours that took to get it dialed in where you have it. Thanks for sharing!

Tuning the headrest mid tweeters was tough as it messed with the front soundstage but after a lot of adjusting it ended up better than I thought it would. Just the right amount of attenuation made it blend in perfectly.

MODS: Is it possible to move this thread to the general BMW discussion forum? It's where I meant to in the first place, if possible. Thx!

wow that is clean! He's eager for more and very easy to work with. We are going to be working on rolling shots at some point, that could be amazing with these cars, We have some M's at the dealership too for a large single shoot
