Hey everyone!
I have been a lurking board member for a few years now, learning all I can about these Beasts, and looking to purchase the right car at the right time.
March 2015 I was fortunate enough to purchase a 2003 Sterling Gray Metallic M5 from a fellow board member.
She had been taken care of mechanically incredibly well, some awesome tuned modifications, and all the right moves.
It was love at first sight!
Modifications when purchased:
Evolve Stage 2 Header Power Tune
Evolve 4-1 ceramic coated long tube headers
Supersprint X-pipe, Vibrant mufflers
JB Racing flywheel, Evosport underdrive pulleys
ST coilovers, Dinan front strut tower brace and rear sway bar
BBS Motorsport GT4 wheels (18x9.5 front and 18x10 rear) with wheel stud conversion
Recaro Sportster CS seats, BMW short shifter with ZHP knob
BAVauto Bluetooth
Apparently she is putting out 434 HP, but I need to verify this with some dyno testing in the near future.
It is incredible how instant the throttle response is, how hard she pulls, and that sweet nasty sound is just looking for a fight.
This car was slammed on ST coilovers when I picked it up (2.5" ground clearance) as pictured below.
I've since adjusted the car up (0.5"), which consequently stopped my recurring nightmares of speed tables and driveways.
