The exhaust is engineered in true BMW fashion. There are no resonant modes, just an purposeful rumble at idle which evolves into a goosebump-invoking howl as it gathers revs under load. Still running her in so I haven't had her over 4500 rpm yet, can't wait. One interesting phenomenon: when driving off from cold with part throttle, as the revs move past 3000 it really barks -only lasts for the 1st minute or so, but boy is it sweet!

Hi!! I am waiting for my Sedona Red 125i in Sep! Nice to see some local guys here... see you guys around!!

Hi Welcome, Good luck on the wait, the buildup to getting the car is going to kill you. Lol
I waited 8 months for my 135i. Talk about sleepless nights with a smile on my face.

VanillaRush · 07-13-2009, 02:19 PM

Dewald... I don't know how i have made 30 days so far!! I do not know how I could survive 8 months...

Sure it will be worth it! Just reading as much as I can, and learning from you guys... so when it arrives... Get in and GO!!!

Had the windows tinted with Defcon1 security laminate, so everyone won't see the cheesy grin that I can't wipe off my face as I drive it.

Carbonic, your car is damn awesome man
