||| Venom: E60 M5 Build Thread - The SHOP - MFEST - HH - STM - DPE - WPI - GTHaus |||

Whadup peeps....I posted this thread on a few BMW forums about the build for my current ride...just thought you guys would enjoy the build as well

Picked this up a few days after I sold the VFE Stg II M3.

Meet VENOM; Alpine White 08 E60 M5



I created this thread to document the build and keep you guys updated with pictures. It's currently at THE SHOP for a complete repaint and minor body work. Moe and his team were also responsible for the Yellow G-Powered E60 M5 @ SEMA which belongs to MFEST Founder, Chris Naguit. STAY TUNED

Current mods:
- H&R springs
- Gloss black vinyl roof
- Macht Schnell pulleys
- 15% Huper Optik Ceramic tint courtesy of STM Solutions
- SWAG ON BOARD

Ordered:
- Proto-type MFEST Coilovers
- Meisterschaft GT2 Race Exhaust courtesy of GT Haus
- Radenergie front lip courtesy of WPI
- CF fender grills
- Blacked out badges
- CF kidney grills
- DPE Wheels





Past projects:

1st project - Valentina - E46 325Ci w/ 3.0L engine swap


2nd Project - Victoria - E60 545i


3rd Project - Vicious - E46 M3 Stage II VF

Sorry to keep everyone out of the loop...it' been so hectic lately with future plans, work, and trying to finalize this build....but without further adieu...


Painted the base of the mirrors gloss black


Shaved reflectors on the front bumper


Toyo T1Rs 255/30/21 & 295/25/21


Car is coming out the shop tomorrow....unfortunately, there isn't enough time to pick up the new wheels, mount the tires and install the coilovers tomorrow so we'll have to do the coils next Monday

Sorry for the long wait everyone...Finally picked up the car on Friday...got the wheels reassembled with a 4.5" lip downsized from a 5" lip. Meisterschaft GT2 exhaust was installed Friday morning...no joke, sounds like a Ferrari


Here are some iPhone pics before a complete write up and photoshoot

Arrival of the Meisterchaft GT2 exhaust last monday. Excellent craftsmanship and the customer service was nothing short of extraordinary. The section 3 piece fit like a glove once installed couldn't wait to let it RIP!!!




Once installed...


Before and After pic:




Next to my boy's Panny...also the owner of TheShop






Pic from last night at The W with a few friends



MFest coilovers will be installed on Monday followed by an alignment and oil change...stay tuned

Quick update for everyone...got an invitation yesterday from Universal regarding a casting call for the FAST AND THE FURIOUS 6 film so I'm headed out to the studios tomorrow to meet with the producers about potentially using the car as a prop :excited:

The newest mod installed are the MFEST coilovers...still needs a final adjustment to lower the rear more...Definitely loving the ride quality...a lot better than expected and not bouncy at all

Gave it a quick wash today and busted out the tripod to get some nicer noob pics LOL...hope they'll suffice until the actual photoshoot is done





Rear shot to show the booty


Nice view of the Meisterschaft GT2 Exhaust by far the best sounding exhaust for the S85 engine IMO


side profile of the beast


and 1 last shot of the rear

I have to agree with you, the exhaust sounds awesome. I just ordered a set for my 535 from jerry at gthaus. They even gave me a good deal on some custom oval tips. Customer service is second to none.
