My 06 M5 has served us well and we are looking to replace it. We are looking at the M6 but can't get over the practicality of the M5. There is not much in terms of reviews from 2015 on. It seems there is not much or no differences between the 2016 and 17 models. What we are looking for is...

I hearing a knocking noise from the engine at idle. I tried to isolate it but the best I can do is determined that it is coming from the pulley side of the engine. I don't think it is the AC because the knocking persist with the AC on or off. The only other moving parts are the water pump and...

Here is my experience doing a HID conversion. I hope someone will find this useful. From my initial research I though I will need a H7 HID kit (got the 4300K model) and a relay harness because the M5 uses the low bean as Daytime Running Lights (DRL). Here is the kit with the wiring harness...

I just spend most of the afternoon trying to do a HID conversion. It is working, kind of. The HID would work properly when I turn on the head lights manually, but with just the DRL, the HID starts flashing. Here is the kit and how I wire it. This is the actual wiring in the car. I...
