M5: My new (to me) 2013 BMW M5 (F10)


1/15/2019

I have always been interested in cars, but I would probably consider myself an admirer more than a true car fan.  I was never the type of guy that could tell you the specs of every single new BMW or Porsche. Nor was I the type to be able to even change my own oil.  I always had an interest though and if I ever bought a car to do modification, I would.  I had a 335i that I lightly modded when I was younger... Anyways, now that I'm older and have a little bit more freedom both with my time and financially I decide that I would start trying to do my own maintenance and modifications (with in reason).  This decision came after I bought the car and bought a carbon fiber intake which I had the shop install for me.... Anyways, I am going to use this a journal for all the maintenance and future modification I do.

M5: Upcoming upgrades/ maintenance

1/16/2019: So what is upcoming on the M5 you ask?  Okay, I know... NO ONE is reading my blogs...  Anyways... Currently, from what I could tell I bought the M5 and it was completely stock.  I was planning on keeping it that way.  I took my car over to Cedar Performance in Downtown for a 50k service and oil change just to make sure I was on a clean slate with the car. Of course during my discussions with the owner I had purchased RK Autowerks (SP?) carbon fiber intakes. Why pay for over priced CF intake when I could have paid half as much for down pipes that would provide much more performance gains?  Because I got them for cheap and they look so damn good...  And now I'm hooked.... I have found someone on the forums that will get me a good deal on BootMod3 (sounds like Boot mode) license. So that may be coming in the next couple days.  However, the wife said I would get down pipes for my birthday.  (Yay Wife!!).  That means stage 2.  If you are not aware of how BM3 works, you get 1

M5: BootMod3!!!

Setting up BM3 Just a quick small update. So it happened yesterday! I got a great deal on the tune and set it up yesterday.  I had bought that laptop off of amazon for like 150 bucks... It's a piece of crap but all I have to do is watch some youtube and tune my car.  So it should work fine. Back to the tune, I set it up with the competition package tune (it's free).  Once my down pipes come in I will set it up with stage 2 and will have before and after reactions as well as sound clips... For now, no real change.

Who am I and why did I create the blog?

Hello.  First, wanted to say thank you and welcome to my blog. I'll go by DFW Dad as I would not to remain anonymous (Like this blog is going to become huge way day... keep dreaming).  I live in the DFW area, married, and we have a baby boy together.  I really enjoy working out, sports (soccer and Manchester United specifically), cars (BMW and Porsche specifically), and watches (the type I can't afford specifically). So the question still remains, why did I create this blog. There are several reason. Well, I recently relocated to the DFW area, left all my friends and family, and work from home. Also, having a young child, you really don't have much time to yourself anyways. So lost contact with a lot of my friends before I  moved.  After the move, I spent more time just staying home and watching TV or Youtube (ultimately fueling my watch and car craze more.. besides the point...).  I really spent a lot of time talking to my wife about cars and watches and I could tell it wa
