Appreciate the feedback, my intention was to build something that looked and drove like a factory E63 but with a few clicks everything turns to the complete opposite.
It's quiet and comfortable even retaining factory cylinder shut down giving a respectable 25-32mpg when driving normally or motorway.
Then when things get wild, it's got a lovely overrun, beautiful sounding V8 that just loves to be used, the mid range punch is something else.
Just an all round Jekyll and Hyde experience, very capable round a circuit given it's weight, brakes will fade before any sign of oil/water getting too hot.
Genuinely been a pleasure to build and use over the last 5 Years.
It's maintenance record is longer than my arm, I'm very particularly when it comes to warming up, cooling down and keeping things fresh with regular oil changes, gearbox/diffs included.

The front differential is an updated version with better internals (much stronger) but other than that it's all just careful tuning.
These 9G boxes are extremely resilient and I've used the car in numerous applications with no issues at all.
It's had it's oil changed every 12 months with readaptations every time.
It's mostly in the tuning though, torque management and slip control on the clutches, things like having the cold limiter raised to 60c before it'll allow full torque etc.

Just a quick comment as I've had a few people ask about the video.
Launch control is fully working now as well as other improvements after the video was made, this was filmed back in 2022.
I dare say it's a little faster overall and definitely more refined in normal driving mode, since dialing the car in with more tuning after making logs coupled with other changes (uprated bovs etc) it's now perfect.
