What’s the bare min liquid cooler suggested for the cooler mod? Would a TDP rated 120w (e.g., single 140 rad) be enough with some other fans to assist while added heatsinks support the remaining hotspots? Consider 40cu 8core unlock.
Let go of my ‘07 e60 base trim today. Bought at 112k miles for $6200, sold at 156k miles for $3300. Spent $10k+ on regular servicing. 7 years of ownership.
I wanted to keep this classic but my back injury won’t let me drive a sedan anymore.
You will be missed, my friend.
Just for fun and testing. Upgraded my father’s SE to 13 (for strict physical sim requirement) and thought why not put the old gem to work! The standby times are insanely better than even 18.7.8. Usage time has also improved, not properly measured but noticeable. Suddenly the classic 6/6s/7/8 shape looks and feels so refreshing. 😅
Became a CarniBro on May, already driven 4.3K+ miles, avg tank economy is 525 (approx. 70% highway driving + two roundtrips to LA from PHX).
This car is super spacious. We recently flew to SFO and rented a ‘26 Sienna for a couple of days. Wife and parents both said the Carnival felt way spacious, especially with toddler seat.
