It is actually MUCH stronger than you expect. It's kind of surprising to me to be honest. From what I remember and looking through my pictures I don't think the car I sat in had it.

Wow, I love that trim!! What is it??

theroyalwe · 08-31-2007, 04:31 PM

that's the dark birch burl on the 6. for the low low cost of 2 1/2 1 series you can have it

Question for Theroyalwe :biggrin:

Did you get a chance to look under the car?

Are there two seperate exhaust pipes leading back to one muffler? Similar to the set up on the E36 M3 and the E46 330's.

theroyalwe · 08-31-2007, 06:48 PM

sorry I didn't get a chance to look under the car, but on the 335 they are true dual exhausts and probably are on the 135 also because of the exhaust manifolds grouping 3 cylinders each per turbo. It doesn't make a lot of sense to put the two pipes back into one pipe but I could be wrong.

Check out uuc's TSE3 for the E46... It is cat-back dual exhaust that has both pipes end up together... Perhaps this is what is under the 135??

Hm... you mean together as in right next to each other, or coming into the same pipe? Here are some photos I found of the TSE3:

Feli_330i · 09-01-2007, 12:53 PM

Lets all hope that the 135i has an exhaust similar to the TSE3... (I wanted this exhaust so bad for my 330i... but then i heard about the 135i

)

TheoIam · 09-01-2007, 01:09 PM

I dought it has two mufflers on exit, but otherwise yes.

128er · 09-01-2007, 01:40 PM

Yea..but if it had premium...it didn't have Homelink

mikeo · 09-01-2007, 04:44 PM

Hopefully not as LOUD as the TSE3. That sucker drones.
