The Papi Express
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.
In this entry, I document the technical differences of MAF, MAP and Alpha-N engine mapping. I discuss why the S85 was built for AlphaN, the mapping process and I end with my driving impressions drawing a comparaison with the M3 V8.
I cover the hardware requirements and its counter-intuitive installation process.
In this entry, I cover my unboxing impressions and take a dive into the final tuning made on my pre-production unit that have made their way onto the production versions.
I take a step back and go back to a natural 20" tire fitment. I wasn't out of the woods just yet, the quirks of fitting BBS wheels combined with the awkward E60 offset specifications made final fitment a tedious process.
This specific journal entry covers my unboxing impressions of the S85 SMG3 carbon forged steel lightweight flywheel and I take a dive into its technical specs.
