Just developed a full valvetronic Stainless Exhaust for the 1M - kills the boom on the OEM system and then lets fly once the car comes on boost.

Sorry to bump this back up, but I'm in the market again and these still come out on top for me!

Any further thoughts or other options please?

If you're passing Knutsford any time soon, get in touch and I'll take you out - I need to speak to you about that paint correction I asked about yonks ago anyway, 2 birds and all that...

If you can give it the metallic zang of an E46 M3 CSL, I'll be down...

One of the most recognisable sounds to come out of the back of a car...  :notworthy:

Hi Tony
What can I say - we specialize in "Zang" - in fact I was going to get some BCS T-shirts printed up in BMW Motorsport colours saying "we love the Zang" !
Cheers

I've listened to a lot of 135i aftermarket 'zorst clips, and sadly nothing is tuned like the CSLs - I can only presume it's because of the turbos?? You get that muffled bassy sound instead.

I'd hand over the cash immediately for this noise.

M3 csl :drool: :drool: :drool:

You could buy that car sell it in a year, loose nothing in resale value and have an awsome car to drive in the mean time hmmm.......

Slightly maybe a bit dated now though :ashamed:

Deffo.

If I'd have had any sense, I'd have bought one when the credit crunch hit and all the bankers were bailing out at £18kish. I got a bargain of a MK5 instead and sold it 2 years later for a £2k loss.

Better than any MK 5? Yes. Would I get one? No, purely because of the practicality issue  :sad1: I need a 5 dr hatch, hence why will keep Eddie until RS3 values become reasonable circa 2014/2015 or move to a bigger house then an M3 or S4 will be fair game  :evilgrin:
