The Papi Express
I finally test fit the 3D printed prototypes of the upcoming S85 CSL Competition Complete Carbon Intake System and detail the slight changes that will be made for the production version, along with the added installation twists.
In this entry, I get my hands on the 3D printed prototypes of the upcoming S85 CSL Competition Complete Carbon Intake System. I provide insights into the target specifications by reviewing the CAD designs and lay down my expectations of the kit.
In this entry, I made it! No frills, high quality in-car sound clips showcasing the entire spectrum of sound you should expect from the CSL carbon plenum. I added my notes further documenting the decibel and tone differences.
In a true echo to the V10 M5 ethos, this Build Journal entry has best reflected a 3 months cycle of lows and highs with my E60.
I cover the initial tuning tests, the tuning dilemma of the OE+ variant of the plenum, my AlphaN realization and chat on MAF map compatibility.
In this journal entry written in collaboration with Sal @ InfinityDesign, I document the technical differences of MAF, MAP and Alpha-N engine mapping.
We discuss why the S85 was built for AlphaN, the mapping process and I end with my driving impressions drawing a comparaison with its younger brother: the M3 V8.

I cover the hardware requirements and its counter-intuitive installation process.
