    I think it's one place where proper torque is super important, factory spec is 10Nm but I have done 12Nm and never head a leak.

    I found a 77k long block that I may get as a spare. Someday I may need an engine because I'm keeping this car for awhile. I already have a spare transmission and I just changed the rear diff.

    She got out of track duty and now I'm leaving for two months. It's pretty tight on the road with the new springs but I really want to see what it is like on the track?

    Here are some laps in the M5.

    I did a quick audio overlay because the wind noise is so bad. My brother did a quick video with his phone and you can hear the V10.

    What fuses are under what seat? I have a 2001 E38 and the only fuses I know of are in the engine compartment on the passenger side and in the trunk, near the battery.
