Raced a FBO E60 m5 50-170
 

Just came back from Mexico. The m5 had ess header tune, transmission tune, rpi headers, rpi oil cooler, rpi inake and a rpi pulley.

My mods are in my sig(edit) my car was on STOCK flash, dealer wiped out my tune and I never re-flashed before the race. There's a full video that will be uploaded maybe tonight or tom. 50-170 I lost by 1 car, my front bumper was at his rear bumper at about 170ish. We were literally side by side until 160 and he started pulling. I was at his rear bumper.

It's a very clean race and the video will speak for itself. For having no headers or crank pulley I think I did great. I will post the video.

Nice run! :y I could never get one to race me. :nix:

Haha yeah that car would need an ess supercharger to race you. I had the car serviced for the SBC pump. Last time I had it serviced my tune felt like it was wiped. I wanted to re-flash the car and just totally forgot :smash:

It was a good run and we'll be meeting up again for some more runs. There a fbo c63 coupe that wants to get in so we'll be doing some more runs probably soon lol

Nice! Good luck and keep us posted. :y

And remember, vids or it didn't happen. :D

You honestly probably did better going up to those speeds having no big pulley since the heat was more under control and it didn't start pulling a bunch of timing by that time.

That's hardly FBO for an E60 M5. No headers, no cat delete, no gears. There was much more HP to be had N/A with that S85.

I honestly thought an E55 with a pulley and tune would beat an E60 M5. Very surprised to hear those results, although the E60 is a serious top-end machine indeed.

In the original post it says the M5 has RPI headers. Nice run OP I have a crank pulley and tune and raced my buddies stock E60 M5 and pulled on him pretty bad. With headers and tb you should smoke that M5 no problem :D.

nice run ! i think its time for some headers ! you will definatly take him after that but still you did great

I'll be keeping and eye out for the video.

Tuned, rpi Catless headers, pulley, oil cooler, intake is not full bolt on? What are you talking talking about? This is a 470-480whp M5.

It was in the teens last night. It was freezing so heat soak was not even close to an issue.

Yeah I never had any problems beating m5's ever including this same m5. They actually respond much better to the mods than I anticipated. With headers I would without a doubt win the race. I'm waiting on the video so I will post as soon a a I get it.

I brought the car in for service couple months ago and my car felt as the tune was wiped out. I brought it for service again 2 weeks ago and never drove it since them. I was going to re-flash the car and didn't. I can't say I was 110% happy how it felt but I don't want to even consider making it an excuse or way out.

I'll be racing that same car again along with a fbo c63 and I'm going to re-flash the car and re-race just for peace of mind.

Nice run brotha. I also raced one last year on the way to C&O. I was in the slow lane cruising and out the corner of my eye I see something entering the on ramp at a high rate of speed.

He must have been doing 120mph at least with a LOUD exhaust system. He slowed down once on the freeway to match my speed, so I opened up my cutouts to run open headers, and it was ugly for him from start to finish. Dont recall the speed but it was a third gear pull.

Lol nice, fbo vs fbo they don't have a chance. With the setup he has, they put down a healthy 470-480whp. I put dyno's at 452whp with my belt slipping a bit so I had a few more ponies then 452. Considering hp vs hp it makes sense why we were so close.

I'm on stock headers and primary cats so I'm honestly pretty happy. I know some think our 5 speed tranny "sucks" but I've proved yet again that's total BS. These cars are all around monsters at any speeds.

Yes, those E60 M5's and M6's are lethal up top. I think you did very well honestly for the minimal mods you have, also the race was in the bimmers sweet spot, so props to you even more. You know if he had 3.91 gears outback too?

Nice run ! add header and TB you should be walking that M5.
And header and TB won't even generate heat.

Yeah all the guys were impressed with the mild mods to hang with the modded m5 like that. He just changed his spark plugs and all his coils. He also has an smg tune, that car is running at full potential.

I can't say because I don't know really know. Can't wait for the video.

Headers will be in my future :y

Ah my mistake. I read that as RPI scoops not headers. :y

Yes, in that case, that is definitely a highly modded M5. All he's missing is gears.

Why is there still no video, what is the hold up? :confused:

The videos are not in my possession. I texted my buddy who has em and he said he's going to edit them tonight and post on YouTube. I will get them though for sure.

Lol all good bro. Yeah his car is very well put together. Can't wait to see the video.

Hey my man your car is a monster bro you did well bro since you don't have headers and you have cats very well job! But his car is moving now very well do to his mods that he did he did great job also!

C63's are very fast up top so watch out. Also, let me know if u need any help with any M5 in the tristate area.
