BMW M3 CRT Sounds Off with Factory Titanium Exhaust in Rare Listen [Video]

Diver · 06-18-2012, 03:41 PM

Nice car, and all the more interesting because it is a sedan.

I hate how BMW makes our Stock cars sound so crappy when they are fully capable of making the M3 sound much better than it is. At least offer the BMW Perf. exhaust as part of the option list starting from when the car came out.....

Same rear section as the GTS.

What's the price difference between the GTS/CRT rear section and the BMW Performance exhaust? The sound from the CRT is incredible!

richb811 · 06-18-2012, 04:17 PM

That is one great sounding exhaust!

63NP · 06-18-2012, 04:19 PM

Very nice,
Love the interior..

e92ben · 06-18-2012, 04:34 PM

Insane sound. Love it.
Hate that all in all at the end of the day 335s sound like crap...

Tallest · 06-18-2012, 04:36 PM

My favourite E9x car produced. Epic.

What?

AZ_08_E92 · 06-18-2012, 07:46 PM

Wow. Looks stunning, sounds amazing and, ah, an E90! Too bad we'll never get one stateside. Oh well. Love that red!

Btw, the "Sick tones, from the Titanium Exhaust" line made me laugh.

I was NOT impressed. Videos usually do not do justice to after market exhausts, so maybe in person this thing sounds great.

Exactly! It's nice to see BMW being able to make an exciting exhaust, hopefully the next M3 will have something more fitting from the start.

I'd be curious to hear this exhaust compared to the M Perf. It's hard to tell, the vids are shot in an encloser, that'll really pump up the volume.

Because this is only a money-making edition. It also comes with navigation and premium sound, not something you'd get in a true track-oriented car

I think my laptop speakers were not good enough for this exhaust system.

BTW I'm in love with that front spoiler!!! So classy and stealth. Anyone making a replica?

130K euros!!! you are getting into 911 territory..

DARK_M3 · 06-19-2012, 04:28 PM

Sounds pretty good.

jrswann · 06-19-2012, 04:31 PM

sounds amazing

sin911 · 06-20-2012, 12:16 AM

I just watched pretty much every M3 GTS video on youtube, and I can say this video doesn't do justice to the exhaust...

Well my 335 sounds pretty good to me (and many others) so don't agree w/ya...

Patrick BMW · 06-20-2012, 03:46 PM

This CRT is simply GORGEOUS

Still weighs more than a 1M which is 3,296 lbs.... This CRT weighs 3,483 lbs compared to about 3,638 pounds for the regular M3 sedan.
