New 09 M3 w/ some mods

mxa121 · 09-21-2014, 10:54 AM

New to me 09 M3 coupe. I shared the story over in the main forum area, but decided to post the pics and video here as well. Let me know what you think!
My only additional exterior mods are Euro LCI Tails. What else....
I am addicted to M

2009 BMW M3 Coupe 31k miles
Jerez Black Metallic over Extended Fox Red Leather with Carbon trim
Carbon Roof (of course)
DCT and EDC

Important stuff (read: mods)
Alufelgen 19" wheels
Lux Angel Eyes w/ white corners
Megan Racing exhaust
Carbon spoiler
Front and Rear Cameras (FIXED, power wire came loose, plugged it in and voila)
Some coding done as well, no nav warning, speed readout, no corner lights, seatbelt gong etc.

Onward to the pics!

clean. although i have never been a megan fan.

megan is the best exhaust for the money. Yes everyone has an orgasm over Akra.

Had a Megan on mine for about a week. The sound was identical to the OEM setup, just with more low-end drone. No thanks. Nice interior though

True statement. I can't justify 4k for an exhaust. I don't think the Akra is 6X better than the Megan to justify the price gap.

Interesting, I think it sounds completely changed compared to OEM. Much louder, and Thanks! I am loving the Fox Red.

I've had my Megan for about a year an I'm totally happy with it.

Completely disagree. Also, when adding an X-pipe it becomes a completely different and not-so-obnoxious animal.

+1. Not the same sound as OEM. If just the muffler, she does drone though.

Looks great OP.

Dude! I love your thread of when you bought yours! That video in there really made me want the Megan, and a black car. You inspired me...

I am already looking for the best x-pipe to pair it with. Hate the fact that it won't pass emissions though. I need a work around.
