The Papi Express

I doubled down: the SMG3 is damned no more. In this entry, I record a video clip and document my driving impressions with the carbon fiber driveshaft in a caricature that only SMG owners will resonate with: the flexes.

 

I take a dive into the SMG: what makes it uber fast, harsh, atrocious, and totally awesome. Should we all give up and swap manuals - and keep chasing the DCT hopes and dreams?

I've compiled the preliminary checks, while-you're-in-theres, recommended hardware and installation notes along with final validation checks to fit the the carbon driveshaft to your SMG3 and 6spd V10.

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 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. 

My M5 V10 Programs

Named "The Papi Express", this is ironically the teenage dream car. I'm attempting the impossible: creating the unreleased E60 M5 CSL.

I sourced and develop products for likeminded M5/6 V10 owners to achieve their build goals.
