All this BMW talk lately influenced me to post about my grocery hauler. I purchased this 2008 BMW 535XI with 140k on the odo about 5 months ago. I think it has been in my possession less then 3 weeks out of that time . Well I finally got it back from P&L Motorsports(Thanks Ty!) last Friday. And I have to say this thing is a screamer. I am pretty happy with the results from this AWD heavy ass pig. Has a enjoyable amount of torque to pull its own weight. I have pretty much replaced everything these BMW require when they reach the 100k mark. All this work and Ill probably end up selling it. :jg:

If I could only build up boost brake torquing/boosting this would easily go sub 4's. Still learning to launch it. Stupid Autos!

I can't believe you actually did maintenance on it. Nobody does that! The N54 is like the Grand Prix of the BMW community: People buy them with 90,000 miles and just slap on a tune.

I'm not sure how to feel about someone actually doing things the right way. It's not a feeling I've experienced before. I must meditate.

I wonder if I can get the wife to drive this. lol

Trade for turbo bonne + cash?



Yup Yup. Im always open for trades. Shoot me a PM :pedobear: By the way this car drives very smooth like most BMWs. My wife actually enjoys driving it. Pretty sharp looking as well. But I do love my wagons and hatchbacks so I am biased.
