Didin’t have a problem just installed app and uploaded.

Thanks for your kind words. Appreciate your comments and you taking the time to look at my build. Hope you are enjoying your M440i as well.

[Gryph8n]

Going to add some information about what type of oil and transmission fluid changes that my mechanic and transmission tuner recommended.

Hopefully, I can encourage some others with their builds and shed some light into some options and the process with this build log.

My mechanic recommended Liqui Moly 5w-30 with oil changes done regularly at no more than 3,000 miles.

My mechanic and transmission tuner both recommended Amsoil TQ drive
https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-sign...?code=ATL1G-EA

My transmission tuner also recommended Adrenaline ATF SS racing fluid or if you live in Europe Motual ATF VI, and stated that these upgraded Fluids will help protect the clutches from the high HP/TQ of Wide Open Throttle Pulls.

[Gryph8n]

I also monitor my engine temp, oil, coolant, transmission and exhaust temps on BM3 to make sure that everything is warmed up to temp before full or wide open throttle (WOT) as well to make sure my engine and transmission don’t overheat.

How did you get ur engine cover to fit. Mine wouldnt fit over my manifold. Cool build, getting my trans done in march with pure then going to slap on a top mount and replace the current hybrid. Hoping to make 750-800 to the wheels.

[evqr]

Oh also want to know how good those brake pads are.

Got my engine cover to fit, just had to notch out an area for the tubing and then cut out some of the padding to fit the extra bulk of manifold.

The rear Endless brake pads have been good with less dust but the front pads did not fit so I had to go with iSweep. This is the only company that I'm aware of the fits my year M440i from pads. They work well and have a much much progressive feel to stopping and it is easier to modulate my speed. The OEM ones grip a lot initially and are better for street usage, but you can't modulate your speed as easily. I cannot comment on longevity for either iSweep or Endless yet.

Sick build and Beautiful car! I am definitely going to be following your footsteps in the performance parts side of the house. I also really need to look into that PPF.
