Coming from the N54 world one of the aspects of the M57 that gets me really fired up is strength and reliability.


This is what happened to cylinder #3 on my first N54 motor. Direct injection + port injection + misfire + some extra PI spray = detonation. It was a wild ride when she let go, fire and skidding out of control.


Oil pan almost blew completely off and there were punctures all over the block


1 doggo power


15F 20R H&R spacers





While installing fender flares I also popped off the front bumper and did a quick Morimoto xb LED fog light retrofit.





Here is the evolution of the front end. REALLY liking the black fog lights.


Time for a wash.



Here are some pictures with the new flares, spacers, wheel studs, and LED fog light retrofit.








In regards to fitment the next item will be running taller aspect ratio tired to fill up the wheel wells, after tires I will lower as needed to eliminate excessive wheel gap.

Next project, OEM trailer hitch.
