From my understanding the motor is lifted out at least partially to install headers Is there anything else I should have done as preventive maintenance while she is out? I was thinking motor mounts?
Car is an 01 M5 w/ 58,300 miles.
Thx
Jeff

You have to remove the sub frame to install the headers. It is almost imposible to get the headers in with the sub frame in place. I have installe dozens of headers on M5's and the best way - in my opinion the ONLY way to do it - is to drop the sub frame out of the car. It is also almost imposible to get to the last two rear upper header bolts with the sub frame removed - I would like to see how someone would do it with the frame in place. Hope this helps.

have you guys ever done supersprint headers? I understand with the dinan headers you need to drop the subframe, but a big selling point with the supersprints is that this is not needed, since they go in primary by primary.
Having not done it personally, however, i'd have to defer a real answer to a shop like Discovery auto or the M shop, other board sponsors who have installed quite a few supersprint systems.
