It's the only time you will see an e92 M3 running on that track anymore. For years it was the car of preference for their instructors. Now they drive new M4's- along with a fleet of other turbo charged vehicles.
This sounds like fun! If you have any pics or vids that would be nice to see.

For me: I washed my car thoroughly and it's so clean I don't want to drive it! Anyone else feel me?

Applied Gummi Pflege to all the rubber joint to keep them soft and new looking. This includes doors and under the hood.
I noticed that on the doors the rubber seal running along the top is already hardening faster than the bottom part which is still soft like new. I wonder if my washing chemicals are responsible. I use Chemical Guys Super Suds II for foam and Blue optical no Rinse (with water rinse in between).

I do recommend Gummi Pflege it's good for winterizing also.

Looked at it longingly in the garage as headed out to work in SUV, as the roads are snow/slush covered

What color are you going with? I'm dropping mine off tomorrow. I'm thinking gloss gunmetal for the ZCP rims on my AW E92.

Folks, the M3 World X-Pipe is a work of art and made from T304 stainless steel. Take a close look at the photos. The sound character it provides is deep and throaty, powerhouse V8 race car type tonality with some rasp included. I know… I'll post a sound clip or video when I get a chance.

In my case, I kept the stock oem rear muffler as I did not want too much volume increase in the cabin. The M3 World X-Pipe is decently quiet in the cabin with small throttle applications, but once you reach into the throttle the sound volume increases in the cabin, but is quite reasonable for having only hi-flow secondary cats. Outside the car is a different story. It doesn't wake the neighbors but folks can hear you coming if you're on the gas. I'm very pleased with my purchase having researched the topic and watching far to many YouTube videos.

The M3 World X-Pipe exhaust tone, and cabin volume increase, as well as the sound of the Harrop Twin-Screw Supercharger whine, makes for an outstanding combination and experience IMO. I was missing some of the S65 NA induction noise we all love, due to the Harrop SC whine, but now I've got some of the S65 audible emotion back!

Working with M3 World (DaveDee) was a pleasure. I paid no import duties, because of the free trade act between the USA and AU. Moreover, because of the AU$ vs US$ exchange rate the M3 World products are a great value. The X-Pipe was shipped DHL and took only a week to arrive from the AU to my door in South Carolina. Heck, I even got a free T-Shirt out of it. Nice touch David and thanks for a great and well engineered product.
It's a real pleasure to look after our friends in USA. In effect USA Customers are paying around 63 US cents per advertised Australian dollar when buying Australian made goods. As DrFerry points out the Free trade agreement between our countries means zero import duties at either destination provided the goods are manufactured in either USA or Australia.
Thanks for the great review
