Not quite sure what you mean by that?

That's in cabin footage with the sunroof tilted(you hear the exhaust just a tad more), no additional microphones or anything. It has a ton of rasp since I have no resonator but I dig it.

Mapleridge(stock design with cat's lopped out)>stock midpipes with secondary cats>135i axleback/muffler.

Thank you sir. I save the clutch torture(and the last of the tires life) to do this

Well, what I'm getting at is if I did your exhaust mod, would I end up with that sound? or are your headers also adding to it there?

Headers definitely add to it.

Do you not remember when you drove my car? Vast majority of that rumble/noise was from the headers. Muffler choice dictates volume of it.

Yea I do remember! Most noise was coming from in front of me vs behind me.

Yup, that was the headers.

That's awesome! Driving a BMW the way it should be.

Thank you gentlemen. Few things are as fun as roasting tires off at full throttle and full steering lock

Nice! Where was that? It would be cool if you could use the old Grumman airport in Calverton. NY's front license plate requirement totally kills the front end of all cars.

Do we have a Functional Daily Driver friendly Weight reduction thread or list?

I want to start reducing weight over the next month.

Idk on the e82, but on the e46 the manual seats are only 2 lbs lighter per seat than the power seats.

Taskmaster · 07-30-2014, 07:29 PM

You'll have to go full race seats to save any real weight.

Is it just me, or can you guys not pull off a burn out?

I'll update my STX Build when I get my Recaro SPGs installed and get the car on the scale.

Currently at ~3040 lbs now (Was at 3052 before muffler delete).

Light weight mods currently:
ARC8 17x8.5 w/245 Dunlop Z2s
No Sunroof
Manual Seats

So random question: What clutch upgrades exist for our platform? I know Stig mentioned the 130i clutch, but does it fit our transmission?

My clutch still works perfectly fine, just looking into the future.

kobeballer96 · 11-02-2014, 09:01 AM

128i fun pull.
