Do I need Berk Mids on N55 - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

Is it really necessary to get the mids on an n55 since I know many n54 guys are buying the n55 mids do to no secondary cats already. Is it worth my money or should I save the money and grab the axle back?

Will it be louder with Berk mids over n55 mids?

I am not terribly concerned with any performance gains as this is my DD and has PPK which more than satisfies me on a daily driver. This is more about sound for me.

The mids should be slightly bigger from what I'm told and the only benefit of getting mids for you would be the option of resonated pipes.

The berk mids will definitely sound better than N55 mids.

N55 = Muscle Car / Diesel sound
Berk = Refined Sports Car Sound

Atleast that's how I feel now after switching my midpipes from berk back to stock N55 and leaving the berk race axleback.

Hm.. I'm wondering the same thing.. I've been debating on ordering just the berk axle back lately and later down the road getting a BMS DP and keeping the stock mids since I don't imagine there are any gains there. Wonder if there's a sound clip around..
