[chadillac2000]

Christmas 2019 was a good one. After entertaining a few offers on this car over the past month, and feeling very uneasy about letting it go, I’ve found a way to keep the 135i and upgrade to a newer, performance sedan sometime in 2020 without getting rid of something I’ve invested so much time and effort into. I knew I’d regret it big time eventually.

The 1er also got a present -- a set of brand new Berk midpipes. For the past 100,000 miles I’ve been running a hacked up N54 midpipe with Vibrant 1790 resonators installed in place of the secondary cats and it’s been great, but I’ve always eyeballed this purpose-built two-piece midpipe setup from Berk for some time now. Build quality looks top notch and came with new hardware and gaskets. It should sound great in between the ACF 3” downpipe and the MadDad Whisper. Should be installing these sometime in January.
