I feel like I'm driving a massive E46. Everyone on the forums refers to them as a "truck" and it's the weirdest thing.

Awesome buy... I'm all too familiar with the struggle when looking for specific E9X stuff. Let's see some photos of the interior I'm glad you brought this back to WI, I rarely see LCI E91s around. If I do, they're base models. Mind if I ask the price range you paid?

It's crossed my mind, but I don't know if I will on this one. If I get an E70, I definitely will drop it. I ordered a 22pc LED kit on eBay yesterday with their 15% off sale... if that turns out like shit I'll let you know! If it was the V8, I believe it. Apparently the V8s in just about any X5 is very unreliable. Maybe 22s 😂 Thanks! Clicking your thread right meow...

It's not the 3.0L that's the downgrade. It's going from a 2007 to a 2001 again, lol. Everything is just more dated than I'm used to. The "murdered" look is growing on me... unfortunately. I initially hated it and wanted to paint the wheels silver, but now that just seems like a lot of work. My first priority is to change out all of the blue interior LEDs to white. Literally every light is blue. Map lights, puddle lights, foot lights, trunk lights, etc. I also ordered a replacement rear emblem (missing), trunk carpet handle (broken), hood release lever (also broken). The HID bulbs are also a bit pink (old), so I think I'll replace those and wire up the halos that are already in the headlights. The front suspension has a clunk that needs to be diagnosed. It needs some work, but I think I got it for a good price. Overall, the truck is solid and fairly loaded. No weird quirks, not a drip of fluid, rust-free, etc. Sport interior with black leather (and a sick double-din):

I got annoyed with having two coupes... trying to fit stuff in the car every time I go to Menards, folding the seat forward to cram someone in the back, etc. So I sold my gray 335i and am trying something new. It should be better in the snow anyways. Feels weird "downgrading", but I want to make sure I like the chassis before buying an E70 with the N55 😈 PS: I finally have a vehicle that can fit a 10.5” 315 out back 😂

@MPW3RLee's E90 booty looks good going thru those corners...

The photographer from the Road America event I did in May finally sent me some pictures! Man this was fun...

It was on the whole weekend. Sometimes I turned it off right before the hand drop, but sometimes I didn't.

Full video is finally up 😀

Nice, I didn't even cheat!

Yup, I still have a cracked spare from my E36, lol. Love those wheels though, they are amazingly light and look good. I think you'll be safe unless you put them in an oven for powdercoat.

Dinan S3 supercharger?

My tune ramps up timing to redline. It gradually increased to 9* at 7k RPMs. If it senses knock, it will pull timing until the knock goes away.

Yes, most times they started between 110-130*F, then dropped during the pull and eventually rose up a bit at the top end. Never really exceeded 140*F.
