BMW F10 M5: Dinan Suspension & AMS Downpipe Install - Part 1

[@PrecisionSportIndustries]

Happy to be a part of another OG spec BMW build, more to come.

[@matthewchaston1218]

PSI and the crew there are legit, M5 is getting better and better! Keep it up!

[@sgreer78]

Pliars on a shock shaft? No f'ing way. OG Credentials revoked.

[@justinmclees4525]

Exactly this lol Years ago I watched a guy installing shocks and used pliers on the shaft which marked the shaft and then damaged the seals into he shock body = wrecked shock.

[@jakegoldberg8941]

How do you suggest holding it still?

[@sgreer78]

Jake Goldberg The proper way. With either an Allen key or a socket on the top of the shock shaft with a wrench or shock socket to loosen or tighten the top nut.

[@ObsessedGarage]

You can't revoke them. I own them. Cars aren't made from fairy dust.

[@bringyourwoodscrews]

@@ObsessedGarage at least put something between pliers teeth and the chrome...

[@nicholasrubino5426]

Installer seems a little too nonchalant for MM spec

[@Jeeper1378]

Nicholas Rubino maybe not that comfortable with a camera following him around.

[@nicholasrubino5426]

@@Jeeper1378 Matt's followed him around before

[@ObsessedGarage]

He is legit. That's why I'm there.

[@bringyourwoodscrews]

Likely due to the fact that he does this daily... Though I would like to see some lug guides and coated lug socket..

[@GRINGOf10]

not everybody's outgoing or gregarious -- hes there to do the job.

[@yamman93]

I’ve always thought that it was improper to use an impact on struts to remove the top mount. I’m sure this installer has installed 100 of shocks so I’m sure he would know if his process was detrimental to longevity. Love monoball upgrades. Really improves steering and braking feel.

[@mperformance3502]

In many aftermarket coilovers, it’s the only way to remove or tighten them.

[@lanceboyle4255]

It is absolutely the wrong procedure. Use a through ratchet or a socket with a cut-out to allow an Allen wrench to hold the shaft.

[@justinmclees4525]

Yea that guy would not be working on my car. This vid is good enough reason why Matt should do these installs himself with the OG crew.

[@seanm.collins9888]

Yes, PSI do not know what they are doing or hiring.

[@justinmclees4525]

I’m sure they know what they are doing the guy doing the work just needs to give a f*** a bit more. I know he’s on the clock doing the work hence my comment about OG doing the install in house. Some of the work completed on the M2 in house was fantastic if not a bit of a learning curve but was very interesting to watch and very detailed.

[@pogo458]

Justin Mclees The installer is the best in the business, maybe you missed the last time Matt used him.... Matt is just slowing him down

[@justinmclees4525]

@@pogo458 As I said in my previous post I am sure he knows what he is doing but it just comes across like he dosent care and he is obviously on the clock doing the job, If this was done in house the install would probably be spread over a few days with small details addressed and discussed. Just my opinion but its one of the reasons why I watch OG content.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Well said. Videos always slow down the process.

[@ericmcfarland7051]

How on earth do you get the ball joint disconnected from the front control arm?!?! Stuck at the moment. And here I thought the fronts are/were easier than the rear.

[@Tonybagadonuts27]

I did the KW HAS kit on my F10 M5, love it Matt. Curious your thoughts when all done and you get to drive it. Im not crazy about the channel locks on the strut shaft, hopefully they wont leak and why drag the rear struts on the concrete. I dunno it must be my OCD. Car is looking good buddy!

[@maximusvr46]

working on the floor, all gets nicely scratched 40 mins

[@matthewmoser2090]

The bc guy was super serious when you said that on camera 😅😂

[@traceyharris2573]

Outstanding video, however, I wish the interior disassembly was included. To my knowledge no one has produced video of the F10 M5 rear interior removal, which is a key part of this project.

[@ObsessedGarage]

You only need to remove the sides of the rear seats, speaker grill, and speaker.

[@torks2339]

Zero F's were given on this install! I'm assuming the tech has never watched an episode of OG?!!

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm not sure I'm following. Everything was fine for me.

[@Froztinc]

Did you want him to feed Matt zebra cakes or something?

[@Patrick94GSR]

haha the front Racing Beat sway bar I have on my Miata is bigger than the Dinan F10 front bar!

[@Discreetspd]

Hi Matt. Can you share what sway bar settings on the front and rear you ended up with in the end?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I ended up with middle in the front and soft in the rear.

[@badboyjose71]

I wish it was me winning all of the tools like yours its only a wish 🤞 it will never be me winning anything . But dreams sometimes become tru . It's fun to dream .....😏😷

[@nanyu9324]

Do you still have AMS down pipe on stock?

[@1musicsearcher]

Notice he never once said “lefty loosey, righty tighty”.

[@ObsessedGarage]

He does it all day everyday.

[@plng777]

Hey I noticed you got carbon ceramic brakes as well, does it squeals, squeals quite a bit like mine?

[@ObsessedGarage]

All big brakes make noise. It's part of the game. With CCBs, the squeaks generally come from pad material build-up. Using a pressure washer to blow out the brake area periodically makes a big difference.

[@davetires7300]

Love all the different content Matt,it nice to have a change up,you should also put a Corvette emblem on the “M”car😳LoL

[@nanyu9324]

Ams down pipe still available?

[@Patrick94GSR]

20:30 WOOOO there it goes!!!! lol

[@bringyourwoodscrews]

Channel locks on the shock shaft...?

[@Patrick94GSR]

Yeah I definitely would not have done that. Any marks or blemishes of any kind on the shock shaft from the pliers will end up trashing the seals, meaning blown shocks.

[@Patrick94GSR]

although to his credit 38:30 using the old perch upside down to seat the sleeve was a good idea there, as opposed to hammering on the aluminum sleeves and perches.

[@patrickroberts6999]

Hello Matt, any thoughts on 2017 440i tune and exhaust? Just bought it and want to get the most out of the car. Thanks.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I don't know that car very well. I would stick with Active or ESS for tuning solutions.

[@patrickroberts6999]

@@ObsessedGarage Cool, thanks sir.

[@alexisrosario8481]

Definitely would recommend the Active tune! It’s super legit! Give PSI a call, they can help you out!

[@bringyourwoodscrews]

What was the BC guys deal? Seemed pleasant...

[@ObsessedGarage]

That's my friend Garrett from BC Media. BC is right across the street.

[@2anYm]

Does the suspension fit on a f10 2012 525d?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm not sure about that one.

[@Patrick94GSR]

wow guys, harping on them not using lug guides or a coated socket. That stuff is a band-aid for people who aren't careful. If you're careful then that stuff isn't needed.

[@MattGreenland]

Pliars on a shock shaft is super cringing. Does he not have the right tool that he has to do a big no no instead? Was suddenly expecting Racelands to be installed on the car instead.

[@Froztinc]

Awesome video Matt. Hate to see everyone negative Nancy in the comments somebody feed them some Zebra cakes.

[@joetacchino4470]

Every time I see that oil cooler in the front mounted flat I cringe....Why BMW???

[@bringyourwoodscrews]

No lug guides or at least a poly coated socket!?!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Why would you need that. The lugs stick out?

[@bringyourwoodscrews]

@@ObsessedGarage guide the wheel on to protect those God awful gold? colored calipers!!!

[@bringyourwoodscrews]

@@ObsessedGarage cheap insurance I guess. When my car goes to the shop for service requiring wheel removal it's accompanied by lug guides (even though I have wheel studs) and a poly coated lug socket. I'm sure I'm not the most loved customer I'm sure...

[@ObsessedGarage]

I guess you would need that if you weren't very strong. I never use that in my garage, so I wouldn't expect an experienced tech to need it either.

[@bringyourwoodscrews]

[@Jeeper1378]

Keep having to remember M5, not Corvette. Too much shit going on in OG world HAHA.

[@davidsosnak2968]

16:00 dont put it on the floor you fool

[@Patrick94GSR]

where else should he put it? It's not some priceless jewel.

[@Froztinc]

You are right he should of sat it on a cloud

[@davidsosnak2968]

I cant even watch him completing it on the floor. Please delete this video
