Put her away for the annual winter slumber

The 513Ms look amazing on this car (swapped them over from the 328i as I need the LMs for a new build over the winter

). I just wish they didn't need gigantic spacers to fit properly

Okay now that sounds BADASS! I'm assuming 2 pipe? Any more clips?

I thought you have done the OEM mod before no?
I have the OEM 2 pipe mod on my car too. Sounds amazing.

Yup I did the 2-pipe mod with a HFC xpipe. it was so snappy but it screamed in such a high pitch like no other setup I've heard. Glorious, but a bit too loud for my tastes and quite raspy.

Soooo aggressive, I love it.

BTW was it the 2 pipe or 4 pipe method on yours?

I bought the car with the mod already done, not sure how many pipes. Some had said it might be 4 pipe, others have said 2 pipe. Maybe its 2.5?

I remember one member here refer to it as "ghetto" or something like that. To be honest, it doesn't look sexy, there's no "bragging rights" that you spent $$$ on akrapovic, MPE or whatever... For some members here, it sounds as though brand is important to them. I bet if you did a blind test of which exhaust systems sound good, more than half of the time this will win.

Here's a "fly by" with my OEM Exhaust Mod. I timed it so I was at redline at the camera.

Yeah, in my experience the OEM 2 pipe mod only works well when paired with the OEM x-pipe. With resonated test-pipes, it sounds amazing... I'm gonna order a set of RE test-pipes sometime for next season.

2 pipe and leave the stainless mesh on for the other 2 smaller pipes is the best sound from what I've heard. ACM doesn't sound as nice.

Got some new Spark Plugs and a wheel balance.

After two months of ownership, getting new plugs is night and day difference in how it accelerates and shifts. I wasn't expecting or looking for any noticeable difference, but the thing feels like it has more power and much smoother all around.

I wonder if changing coils will do anything. Expensive but I wonder if it would give you a power increase also considering the age of a lot of the cars being 10 years old

how is the sonax stuff holding up after a month? I wanna try it. Does it protect the paint?

I recommend DIY CQuartz Ceramic Coating!!! I have had it several months now...And it shines like glass!!! This is after a quick wash and wipe down!!!😎👍👍👍 still looking New!! It’s suppose to last minimum 3 years on up to 5plus!! Will be keeping a tracker....I applied it back in May of this year if my memory serves me correctly.

I need to get a full paint correction and fix done on my car. Jerez Black is a very beautiful colour when its clean.

turbo_joe · 11-01-2018, 09:43 AM

Fresh track wheels came in today from Apex, needed to clear the new StopTech brakes. 18x10+25 all around and will need 5mm spacers to clear the Clubsport Coils up front.

Scharbag · 11-01-2018, 10:02 AM

Alas. Looking at the forecast, it seems I only have 2 more days to drive my M3 before winter. Sad day. But like death and taxes, it is bound to happen. So we will see how much fuel I can burn in 2 days!!

Likely take the time this winter to fix my valve cover gaskets as they are weeping a little.

I have the opposite opinion. 2 pipe sounds nice but ACM is the best version of the OEM mod.
