Installed EagleEyes! Took about 40 minutes. Couldn't be happier with the results.

It was better but didn't feel the same. I don't know if it needs adaptation and not some non 96 degree and humid weather

The 1M reminded me a lot of Kristen's 135i, and the M5 is just RAW. With all the hoodoo computer magic that is supposed to help you control the car, it gets out of control (or so it felt, Mike was in control the whole time) really quick. I have never ridden in something so fast. Also rode and drove my friends stock 135i. Also amazing. (He also took the fastest BMW time, with lots of M3s and e60 M5s in attendance. That should say enough about the 135. I'm thoroughly impressed.) Then I was asked to drive either the F10 M5 or 1M from the track and park it where they put all the cars. I chose the M5. Following Mike Renner in the 1M, he led me around the autox course, I drove like a granny, but in a straight he pulled away and signaled for me to catch up. I goosed it, and OMG. I was smiling all night.
My fastest time after 3 laps (most people got about 10 or more, I stopped to ride and watch) was 24.6 sec.
My friend in the stock 135i, with the fastest BMW time, 22.837 sec.
The fastest car, a not stock Mini, 22.808 sec.
Mike Renner in the F10 M5 21.3 sec.
Mike Renner in the 1M 20.8 sec. ( But he drives these every day!)

Dane, I need your help! I did my VCG a few weeks ago, no issues, no leaks. Used a small amount of black rtv on the corners of the half moons like everyone says to.
Noticed oil on the ground today and found a small leak on the left side of the vanos, left being if you have the hook open and are looking down on it. I gave the three bolts on that corner a tiny bit of a turn just to snug them down and will monitor it now. If it continues to leak what are my options?
