Washed, waxed, vacuumed and covered it. Hooked up to a battery tender and it won't be moving anywhere until Thanksgiving.

I ripped out my black extended leather interior, scrubbed the heck out of the carpet and installed the Caramel Heritage Nappa extended leather interior I just bought from a partout.

F+R seats, lower dash, center console and all door cards.

Dear god that was a lot of work....

And totally worth it.

I was waiting for this post...I thought the numbers seemed low too (I was hoping for 315-320). It's a Dynojet dyno...not sure how old the dyno is or when the last time it was calibrated. MAFs and spark plugs were done about 20,000 ago. I have seen here that some MAFs have gone bad at about 10,000 so I am guessing that is a possibility and also none of the o2 sensors have ever been replaced to my knowledge...I am currently scouring the internet to find the cheapest price for all 4 and I also have an Evolve Stage 1 Alpha-N tune to install (my download link for the file expired, I am just waiting on Evolve to re-upload it and send me the new link) and an RK electric fan kit to install (I know this is a hotly debatable mod for power gains...). I plan on doing all of that in the next few weeks and going back to this same dyno to get some new numbers. Maybe this particular dyno reads low, I don't know. I don't think having Sport mode off would have affected the peak numbers in any way and I had it off because it was rainy out and I wanted to make sure the tires weren't losing traction on the rollers, and it didn't seem like they did so...who knows. I am bound to see better numbers next time...

Having Sport Mode off won't make a difference. I would surely suspect O2's, MAF's and what about your CPS's?

Looking forward to your next Dyno!

CPS sensors have not been done as far as I know...Oy, this is going to get real expensive real quick. My problem with this stuff is I want to do all of that at once, new CPS's (I know they are a real pain to do by yourself), new pre and post cat o2 sensors (at the very least I want to do the pre cat sensors before I flash the DME so the adaptation values are as accurate as possible while they are adjusting), Evolve tune, coolant flush/electric fan kit install, and while I am at it, might as well throw new plugs at it as well.

The good thing is I have lifts and tools available at no cost from 7AM-6PM daily...the bad thing is I work long hours (no, I am not a mechanic), but I am off all weekend...if I don't get to the auto hobby shop early though, I have to wait for a lift...I suppose it would be beneficial to meet some local M5 people that have experience with the smaller DIY stuff.
