I prefer the 130i over 135i: just classic BMW 3-liter I6. Absolutely no lag and better sound, I dare say. Not that much slower, either. With Shell V-Power fuel and the BMW performance intake and exhaust, I guess it packs a solid 275 hp (at least)!

With discount, the exhaust will be just below 800 Euro installed (in Germany). Not cheap, but less than in Sweden and I think it will go nicely with the intake. Pretty sure the sound will be awsome!

SO how is the intake/exhaust working out for you? DId you get it dynoed yet?

No... got sick on the day that was planned for (a big BMW-meeting here in southern Sweden. SO typical. Now, I don't have anything planned.
I am satisfied. The response is even better and then we have the sound...
And maybe, there is slightly, slightly more punch around 6-6500 rpm...
But perhaps one could have expected a little more than that given the ambitious pricing. However, the parts seem to be of high quality and should last quite a while.
