Good to hear from you. I'm actually looking to pick up another G for a daily in the next couple of days. I'm going to try SO hard not to mod it. The M looks great!

I just finished reading through your threads again, the car looks great I like the snake skin accents you did

I was going to do an X5M OEM brembo upgrade on the wife's diesel and paint them viper snake skin green it goes great with black.

I got catless down pipes on today and got it tuned with 27psi. The tuner said it's in the 700hp ball park

unfortunately we got a ton of snow today so I couldn't test anything besides wheel spin

My calipers are finished and dimpled rotors just shipped so hopefully I can get them all on next week.

maybe I will take it out, they (several guys on X5 boards) say 12.5sec all day long when they are stock. I have about 150hp and over 100ftlbs more than stock...but I live at high altitude and have poor track conditions.

I do know I have a date with a twin turbo SRT8 Jeep this spring, this SUV really shines stop light to stop light against sports cars. It's too big and heavy for the 1/4mile.....although I did take out an local built engine boosted apparent 550whp 350Z in a hi way roll race when I was stock....

I loved the M but I racked up a pile of miles on it commuting so I let it go and picked up this. I already got wheels for it.

Is this the ISF? My father is thinking of getting the ISF and wants to hear what people think (he doesn't do sporty driving much).

It is an ISF the suspension is fairly stiff, the 2011 and up ISF actually have a softer set up. I love it it has nice power and great handling.

I thought I would pop in and see what's up

I love the ISF of course I wish it had more power, I did catless manifolds, 2.5" true dual exhaust, pie cut titanium intake, a fair bit of suspension work, 19x10-19x12" wheels and some cosmetics. I also have a ported intake manifold and a nitrous kit waiting to instal.
