<<< Old School vs. New School >>>

AP3X_FTW · 04-15-2013, 10:55 PM

Finally got a decent shoot of the new e90. Met up with my buddy m3anmachine and he was able to capture some clean shots. I recently sold my e46, so it was cool to get the two cars together. His e46 is also for sale which you can find in the FS section.

I recently installed a new set of MARS LED taillights and I think they look amazing. I was set on doing the LCI update when I acquired the 08' but these are a great alternative for those who do not want to hassle with the trunk swap. Money saved can be spent on some functional track goodies instead.

Also took a quick exhaust video. The car came with stock pipes up to the magnaflow mufflers. I'll admit, Im not a big magnaflow guy, but this system really surprised me. The tone was sophisticated and provided a great touch over the stock system. A great exhaust for someone who wants a little more out of the V8 but still needs to use the car for business purposes etc. I like aggressive exhausts and I always enjoy the "cheap" power that going catless can provide so I added some Macht Schnell test pipes supplied by the guys over at EAS. WOW, this woke the car up. The video doesn't quite capture the tone but Im loving the new found power and sound.

Enjoy :hattip:

I love my Magnaflow rear section, despite it being one of the cheaper ones on the market. Very nice deep tone without getting raspy or too drony.

Both cars a very clean and well done!

is it bad i like the e46 better?

dmw16 · 04-16-2013, 08:43 PM

It's nice to see shots of the E90 and E46 M3's next to each other. They both are still great looking cars, but the E46 sure has stood the test of time.

Your E90 looks great.

Looks and sounds great man. Where did you get the taillights? I had no idea about this option.

Edit: did you get them direct? These the ones? http://marsperformance.com.au/M3-LCI...Sedan-05-08-KS

PandaM3 · 04-16-2013, 09:03 PM

Wow... those MARS lights look really good... I'm gonna have to see them in person!!!

Love the exhaust, if you think they sound good in these videos they sound 100x better in person... makes the exhaust decision harder for me

I bought mine from a small group buy held here. I went back to see the thread again once my lights arrived and the thread was gone. I think the mods deleted it ??
