Chicago e90 sighting: slicktop, DCT, grey/blk on OEM 18s

ghostofsenna · 08-24-2017, 09:07 AM

I was walking the dog last night and spotted a super clean grey e90 slicktop outside an apartment building in the Gold Coast with the flashers on. Minutes after I walk by the car came down the street and sounded great.

If the owner is on here, my question is did you have the OEM exhaust mod done or was your exhaust OEM? The car looked bone stock so I assume the exhaust mod has not been done...

Actually, I think I have seen that car before. Was it a female driver?

pretty sure it was a male. Car was CLEAN. Thinking of going back to OEM or doing the exhaust mod based on this e90 sighting.

I've seen a middle aged female driving an IB e90 on winter wheels and tires a month ago.

Haven't seen the said car but I have test pipes with the bypass mod done, sounds better than pretty much every aftermarket exhaust I've had imho

No, I'll try to make one but videos never do exhausts justice.

Tape a lapel mic to the rear bumper. I used to do this for track videos and you will have about 1% wind noise with 99% exhaust.
