[TwinTurboWagon]

Replaced the 245/40/19 with a 255/40/19

Test fitting OEM 343M F12 fitment

Actually fitted

OOOF!

I had to get that rear fitment dialed.

There we go

I am a sucker for 5 (split) spoke designs!

Wagon love!

Finally got Swisstrax down in the SD house, juuuuuust in time for us to move to Colorado. Hope the renters like it!

"3AM start, long day of driving from CA-CO ahead of me, I better take a quick pic of my headlight output!" lol

Gas station sun rise.

Utah. Notice the engine RPMs. M5 LSD has the N54 buzzing along, definitely not geared for GT use. Geared for smiles.

No bike rack no problem

Colorado

What are the frickin chances the new gas station just down the street from my house has E85. I lucked out. At the time of this photo (Aug 2022) it was also $1.89/gallon, $2.75 now.

3AM-7PM, 5 fuel stops and 1,100 miles. Tired.

Colorado wagon things

New O2 sensors, had to pull the downpipes, what a pain. On the upside my Fuel mixture control error and rough idle after cold start has been resolved. It also resolved some throttle issues at WOT, it would never throw a code but at >50% throttle the power would cut out, come back in, cut out -super annoying but now all is well and I have since switched from my auto-tune map to my custom map so that E61 is now running at full strength for the first time since being in Colorado (7 mo). The wagon feels strong considering the elevation here.

I'll do better with sharing updates! Much love forum friends.
