Default Turbo BMW finished -video
After a year off my friend finally completed his BMW 540i Turbo 5.3L.
Build pics and test run videos.
BMW/GMW LSX Turbo


Heres the build thread. A few things changed. It now has a T56 in it.

Good video, GMW is funny. Seeing the BMW techs first reaction when they pop the hood would be priceless if you had to bring it in for something.
