WolfeS2K · 06-16-2012, 10:49 PM

That sounds incredible! What is different on the exhaust? Is is just the rear section or is the x pipe different as well?

Is this a different rear section from the one that is on the M3 GTS?

BLACK OPS · 06-17-2012, 12:11 AM

My car cried after listening to this.

I must restore the roar

PIMP "E" · 06-17-2012, 01:59 AM

hope someone had a door or window open while the car was running. lol

sam964 · 06-18-2012, 02:05 PM

Wow... So raspy I love it

Sick !

Jive · 06-18-2012, 02:47 PM

Beautiful car and sounds amazing. I am wondering though, with all the effort that went into weight saving technology, how come no carbon fiber roof?

ATSR · 06-18-2012, 02:56 PM

Great noise!!

Love those seats

Bimmerlover76 · 06-18-2012, 03:25 PM

Wow! Now THAT'S a sweet sound! Not too keen on the red-highlighted areas on the hood, sides, etc. (reminds of how much red there is on the sport-line F30). But wow... That is how a muffler is supposed to sound (as compared to recent videos of the F30 335i M Performance exhaust).

DrivenByE30 · 06-18-2012, 03:32 PM

The Roar !!! I love it ! we need more sedans like these !
