Supposedly ITG makes a filter for our cars so I'll probably try that next time.

Ironically, the only reason I changed the filter in the first place was because I wanted to remove the charcoal filters. So I figured if I'm going to open it up might as well throw in a better flowing replacement filter as well. So I order the filter. open her up, and find out I don't have the charcoal filters installed lol...
Thanks for the info!

Great! Thanks! family's well too!

I actually sold my M a little while back & got a 35d...I was getting sick of the 11MPG.

While I do love the 35d's gas mileage I miss the lunatic quality of the M (I didn't think I would!)

Come November my daughter will be out of her booster completely & my son will be out his car seat & into a booster...leaving just the baby in a car seat...I'll be looking at an F10 M5 or S8/S6 at that time!

Take care, can't wait to see what else you do to your beautiful X5 M!

That's what they all say. If you are getting into watches stay out of the watch thread on m3forums, will make you go broke quickly...

Sweet build, great color choice as well!

Planning on some downpipes or exhaust eventually?

Coming along great man. How do you like the feel of the new paddles? Does the feedback feel as crisp as OEM when using them? Thinking about ordering myself a set.

The paddles have an even crisper feeling than the stock ones. Plus if you rest your fingers on them you get additional steering feedback. Highly recommend them. Go for it!
