Coolest experiences..? There are sooo many when it comes to my 3.0 . I’ve owned that rig for more than half its life, so the memories are abundant, and continuing to this day.

A funny one was, when I learned the sunroof pops after something like 3 years of ownership. I remember saying, “it does that, kewl”! LoL.. I still don’t know how to work the features that pop up on the cluster. So believe how stoaked I was when I reset the oil indicator via the cluster a few weeks ago. There are probably many things I still don’t know how to use.

But by far the coolest is… The reengineering of my E53’s M54 to pretty much the same configuration as the LMDh P66/3 minus the hybrid function, and I6 versus V8. A forced induction power plant, burning ethanol fuel (80/20), with adaptations. I never wanted a static tune. I wanted the setup to be able to adapt to the variable conditions it would face from ambient temperature changes, to fuel inconsistencies, etc.. As of today everything thing is functioning properly, and OBD diagnostics are clear. Most definitely my coolest experience!

And last but not least, the installation of the headers. Hearing all that science described above taking place without restriction is automotive bliss to my ears.

So what started out as a dream to get as close as possible to the performance of the P75 powered E53, I ended up with a build with some attributes similar to that of the P66/3 LMDh. What an experience!

It’s sooo funny when I pull into a parking lot, and people hear all this sound and begin looking for a race car. Then when they focus in and realize it’s coming from an old ass E53 is hilarious! I’ve seen some pretty dumbfounded expressions.

So enough rag chewin! Time to fire up OLe’GiRL, and make some more cool experiences with my lovely family.
