Twilight1 said: You seem to like driving sideways. Or is the BMW unable to go straight?  Nice engine upgrade, exterior is nice too. I would only replace those wheels. It is possible to drive straight..... but not as much fun  The wheels are not coming off - love them  ExPat2B said: All that drift training kicked in pmanson said: Great place St. Michel. Agreed.

Awesome thread Thordur!  Coming from what is, for all intents and purposes, Iceland's southern hemisphere equivalent (New Zealand) I long for the day when I can mirror your ambitious project. Just need to wait for my mum to tire of her M5 first.

Me and a friend of mine did some "dyno" tests yesterday using a program he has developed that uses GPS info as well as car weight, gear and drive ratios, air resistance, etc. to calculate power. Here are the results for 3rd gear pulls, numbers are at the wheels: Run 1 494hp 587Nm Run 2 494hp 579Nm Run 3 490hp 585Nm Avg. 493hp 584Nm If we calculate back to crank values using 20% drivetrain losses it gives 616hp and 730Nm. Not bad for a family sedan  You can see the full report here: http://www.rngtoy.com/thordur/m5/ONNO_Power_report...

Six hundred and sixteen brake horse power. That is a monumental amount of power, proper super car slayer! Glad to see it's still going strong!

Been like this for too long - summer almost gone by  h:  But now the refurbed PG2 Hamanns are finally on the car   Centers painted, lips bare. Haven´t decided if I will polish them or not. Feels so good having them on the car - the Style66's were driving me mad!!!!
