Hmmm. No golf tee mod exhaust pipe valve! That's something that probably makes it growl a bit more.
A common mod was to unhook the rubber vacuum line, and stick a golf tee in it, and keep your exhaust freer flowing 100% of the time. On the 3 series, there's a butterfly valve in one of the tail pipes, that is vacuum controlled to open and close at times. This 135i doesn't have that. |

yes, the car was open at all time, including the convertible. I will have some more photos soon. The only one we couldn't get in was the Tii, they opened the door to take photos and that's about it.
Hugo will have tons of photos also, we met there |

I think you might be thinking of the vibration damper that mounts to that side of the muffler... |

Yes, that's the vibration damper. It keeps the exhaust from shaking the car.
Check out part number 3, named "Vibration Absorber". |

Not sad at all, Larry. I'd say brillant!
