once again I've done stud conversion, hopefully it will last me longer than on X5M (due to some "over qualified" workers with impact guns)

this set came from Raceseng











hope u guys having a good week, until next time...

Hey Boneca

Looks good as usual. Can you still torque the 105 ft/lbs recommended by BMW ?

I appreciate it!

Yes, absolutely, this is what I did, unless u want to use anti-seize provided, in that case u would need to adjust torque by the chart which is 90 ft/lbs, I opted out of this.

and another cool pic for u guys

Nice!

I almost bought a set of Raceseng lugs (didn't want studs) but I've always had this worry that they wouldn't be as reliable as the oem steel lugs. Not sure the bling factor is worth the risk (if there is any).

Thank you Alan,

I probably wouldn't buy other set of lugs, don't see the point, yes they are titanium but the difference not that big.

As far as reliability of studs, they been proved reliable (all year around) well I haven't driven much with this set yet but I had MRG set before (also titanium) and they were great.

For me its more for esthetics as I only change my wheels twice a year

this is another mod on my list which I drawn to

I decided to update my own build post with latest software update 03/2022.65 I installed this week.

here's the separate thread about it: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1939048

basically I don't see noticeable improvements while driving, even though some ppl say they do.

also update wiped out 90% of bimmercode coding (as expected), below the options which were wiped out and added back:

Default driving mode: Adaptive - wiped out (back to Comfort) - added back
Auto Start Stop function: Disable - intact
Warning at start-up: Disable - wiped out - added back
Seat belt reminder: Disable - wiped out - added back
One-touch turn signal 5 times - intact
Video in motion - didn't check, didn't use - left it disabled (I think)
Welcome Light in darkness only: Enable - not sure, it was dark out - added back
Automatic mirror tilt value: 50% - wiped out - added back with 80%
iDrive - Start animation - ///M - wiped out - added back
iDrive - Volume popup - Disable - wiped out - added back
Instrument cluster - Layout - Alpina, Alpina logo - Removed - wiped out - added back

as ppl mentioned there is a newer version already: 03/22.71 but it hasn't landed yet.

not to bore you here couple more pics for u guys





have a great weekend u all

Hi everyone, after 4 years of absence I decided to make a trip to Mpact at Pocono Raceway in PA, which is 300 miles, 4.5 hours away from my home.

This time I made the trip there and back in one day, left at 4am to be at the gates by 9:30am and after about 5 hours of fun started driving back.

The trip took about 9 hours (600 miles), it was a good test to my 6 month old car that hasn't been driven more than a 100 miles trip(s) before (also I'm leaving for Baltimore next weekend which is twice the distance, but that gonna be 4 days trip) it was a good test

Car feels solid on long trips, the only issue is I always have to watch my speed as I can't feel it at all massage seats were very useful on my way back

Few pictures from the event:

out of this world HRE wheels on my friend's Wil Gatoferoz25 M3 F80

Hope you enjoyed it, until next time

hi guys, hope everyone doing great!

ever since I bought a new car I wanted to order a set of new custom eco mats to match my interior and be a little different.

I have had eco mats in my E70 X5M for few years and loved them. Unfortunately I couldn't order mats this time around from the same company I ordered last time (due to world crises and much higher prices) but I found company in NY (f1mats) who manufactures these mats in Dubai, after some shipping issues (as always - lately) they made it here.

little wrinkled out of the box:











until next time

new custom Carismo steering wheel installed plus Autotechnic competition paddles from r33_RGSport thank you Ben!

Flat top and bottom leather, perforated leather on the sides, blue strip at 12 o'clock, heated









M stripe and Autotechnic competition paddles



couple of pictures when work was completed, it took them 4 month to get it done but I'm satisfied with the result





side note: installed 15 degree wedge to ProClip cellphone mount, much better viewing angle now



and another one: after reconnecting the battery the keyless entry started to work again, it hasn't been working for last couple of months since I added Digital Key to my phone, I didn't have to hard reset the iDrive, disconnecting the battery was enough!

Thank you all for reading, until next time
