ahh that’s a shitty situation.. I pulled the trigger on a set from an M6 over the weekend and just got them back from powder coat. Not ready to put them on yet but was a steal and couldn’t stand the spray painted faces haha.

Winter is wrapping up in Colorado, technically it's Spring but Colorado weather follows plays by it's own rules. 75F, 6" of snow, 75F, more snow...
In March we got ~18" of wet snow, not the typical light/fluffy/dry snow we normally get that can be blown away with a leaf blower. Our neighborhood isn't plowed so I took the opportunity to test the X5s ability to handle deep snow. It didn't go great. I got stuck twice but it was a lot of fun to plow the streets. Ground clearance was the main issue causing the vehicle to high side and get stuck once momentum is lost. The wide 265/305 tires didn't really help but regardless it's fun to test the capability of a vehicle. The wife's Q7 faired better. X5 plowing and planing the streets... Love me the little tailgate. Useful for transporting an exterior door. Snagged some more goodies to throw in the To Do pile of parts to install. OEM Individual Audio speakers and amp. Stinger amp is for an aftermarket subwoofer. Plan is to have the Stinger amp power an Audiomobile Evo 12. System will be processed with an Audio Control DSP. Short road trip up to Cheyenne Wyoming to collect some steel from Menards. This will be ceiling and wall coverings in my garage. Thunderstorms and strong winds on the drive. 23.5mpg for the 200mile round trip. For reference here is what it looks like going up Got some new rubber for the summer wheels. Michelin Pilot All Season 4 295/45/20. I'm excited to try the tires as they seem to be the benchmark for all seasons. I particularly like the performance to longevity ratio they offer. On paper the Micnelins are 6-7lbs lighter per tire compared to the Hankooks and Toyos I've ran. Once they were mounted I noticed the Michelins definitely appear narrower than the section width suggests and the sidewalls do have a stretched looks which I didn't experience with the other brands. The Michelins "look" more like a 275/285 than a 295 which was surprising but per usual form>function. The Michelins + Camaro wheels does make for a fairly lightweight setup when you consider the 295/45/20x11 combo. Swapperoo Back to business

I now run a Nicolai G1 as my full squish and after a few thousand miles beating the snot out of the Taival offroad it's been reincarnated as a "road bike" *air quotes* I essentially threw 29" BMX tires on it, dropped the Mezzer's travel down to 140mm, and converted it to single speed. In the winter when the trails are unavailable I will climb this in the Colorado mountains, use it for commuting, gravel-ish riding, and occasionally skate park/pump track/dirt jump action. It's a lovely frame and the bike overall is extremely competent and doing many things. Single speed is also lovely as I love to suffer. Leo, Pole's CEO said it was the first (and only) Taival he has seen built as a single speed.

I will be doing an 8HP swap. I already have the install kit and have purchased the trans from someone who LS swapped their F15, I just need to get the trans shipped to me but I am wrapping up a garage remodel before diving back into car projects. In addition to the 8HP swap the X5 will get a refreshed exhaust manifold with new hardware and gaskets to resolve what appears to be broken studs and an exhaust leak. Stereo upgrade, custom headlights, and refreshing some exterior trim are also in the works. Maybe an X5M leather dash and upper door cards if I can find a decent deal. Oh, and I just snagged a FB Marketplace deal on some OEM 612M wheels which are mainly a referb/flipping project but will run them for a bit. Hope all is well. My in-laws moved from Arizona to Green Valley so periodically I'll be out there visiting, hoping we cross paths again!

Still have the x5 but its been a bit neglected unfortunately. Hope to get my garage organized soon so I can get back to it. Why am I not surprised you're well into the process. Did you end up going with the CANTCU controller, etc? Interested to know how it will work out with the differential changes you've made. I hope your X5 knows how good it has it. Not a stone left unturned. Love it! Moved to Meridian, ID a few years back but still work and travel out there quite often. Green Valley is a nice little spot, much more tolerable weather. My folks have a place off Via Palo Linda. Congrats on the big garage upgrade! You'll have to PM me where you're at in Montana now. I have a BiL that's in Bozeman |

A set of OEM Style 612M popped up locally and if you go back to page 1 of this build you will see that I previously owned a set when I first acquired the X5. I love the styling and the fact they are forged but when I had my last set I was on worn OEM suspension and then (even worse) lowering springs, 21" tire options were also sparse.
Flash forward to present and I am now on KW V3s with essentially all other suspension components replaced and 21" tires are way more common with the unstoppable invasion of SUV/CUVs with huge wheels. The price was right so I snagged them. The wheels have a fair amount of light-moderate rash, enough to warrant a reconditioning for my standards but after a thorough cleaning they are presentable. Plan is to give them a run to see if I can handle the ride quality and if all goes well I will likely invest in repairing the rash or maybe a full reconditioning + powder coat. The OEM Pilot Super Sports were in great shape but too thin for my liking and I replaced them with some used, 90% tread, Pirelli Scorpion Verde in a meatier 275/40 315/35/21 configuration. I love my OEM split 5-spoke wheels! Aside from the rash the wheels cleaned up nicely OEM 285/35 OEM 325/30 275/40 Pirelli 315/35 Pirelli Before and Afters Lovely

I assume you are referring to coding and if so, NCSExpert, INPA, Pro Tools, and ISTAD/P
