My Beast

[alquazi]

Hello all,

Just wanted to introduce my car to the club.
Alpin white 2000 E39 M5 with the following mods;

-Chip Logic ECU tune
-Schrick cams
-Hamann Headers (high temperature coated inside and out)
-Custom made exhaust (cat delet)
-K&W stage 3 suspension
-Winner Power Brake System (363 mm rotors, 8 pot calipers front, 6 pot calipers rear)

The car has been sitting in my garage for almost 4 months with the internals out. I cracked my radiator on the track and decided to change all related water components including pump, thermostat and all hoses and sensors. Once I had it apart, I decided to change all 4 CPS, then decided to change valve cover gaskets. Thats when I found out that I had two stripped bolts on my heads. So i order a kit from ebay to drill, tap, and use an insert to fix the threads. It should arrive this week and I should have my beast back on the road in a couple of weeks.
I will post pics as soon as it's ready.

Impressive list of mods, you seem to know what you're doing ;) Are you a member on any other BMW forums?

Few qustions:

- Where did you get your chip from? Is it tuned to your list of mods? Any dyno graphs?

- Cams profile? Exhaust and intake? Any Intake mods? (they'd help greatly with cams) How's your idle?

- Which track do you go to?? See you've done the right hting by upgrading the suspension and most importantly the brakes. What pads are you running?

I feel we met at one of the track evenings in the Autodrome. Your car had the mishap with the radiator/coolant that day...I don't know if you remember me, I told you about the Club :)

In the mean time, ive got some pics of your car alquazi, dont mind me posting. But you can post the new pics whenever you get them, id want to see the angel eyes upgrade that you've got.
BTW, i love the seats of your car, half leather, half alcantara. Quite rare actually as most people go for the leather. They do feel really nice though and you don't slide around on them!

[Ayham]

Yes that's the car and we met :)

Nice to have you here....

First let me say that I'm noooo mechanic. I enjoy working on my cars and I learne as I go. Drilling the aluminum heads is going to be a first, I hope it all goes well.
We did meet at the Autodrom and that's when my rad. cracked. The was the only time I tracked my car. The car has been apart since then because I've been traveling a lot this summer and because I had to make 3 different orders for parts.
For the tune, it was made by Chip Logic the guy was in Dubai and he custom tuned it on the car.
The cams are 268 11.3 cams. I don't have any intake mods yet. The car ideals and runs very smooth.

Whats with the Saudi no. plate ?! Or you've got the Dubai no. now ?

Whats with the Saudi no. plate ?! Or you've got the Dubai no. now ?

It had AD plats on it, but last year they would not pass inspection because they said it was too loud and that the tinted windows were too reflecting. The guy was an idiot it passed before with the same setup. Anyway to make a long story short I got the Saudi plates so not to have to mess with this problem again. I have a lot of friends in Saudi and they took care of it.

[SSense]

Dont tell me you drive all the way to Saudi to register your car every year :nono:
Why dont you get a Dubai # plate ? Its not as strict as in Abu Dhabi.

It's every three years. Also with the Saudi tags I have other advantages such as no Salik, etc...

[SSense]

LoLz, no Salik too ?! Then enjoy the advantages of the plate :D If you can put tint all around, even in the front, do that too :)
