=== Let's settle the exhaust once and for all ===

This thread needs to die. Only 500 people in the whole world would ever put a dual or quad exhaust on their 1 series and I hope I never get to see it.

I take it you dislike the 335i rear setup then? In addition to the entire M family?

No, I think the current set-up is perfect for the car. Every car has a Mustang Gt exhaust now... I like the e46 tailpipes, thus I also like the e87's ...!

What I don't get is people illusions of grandeur of trying to make the 135i ass-end look better. You can't!

It's perfect fitment for the style of car. Having 4 pipes hangingoff the back-end of a 135i is laughable and totally rice. Same goes with this thread

If it could be done tastefully with true dual all the way back, I think it's a decent mod. I don't see it as "rice" at all (I don't particularly care for that term).

Adding freer breathing to a turbo car yield larger gains than with normally aspirated cars. I see this as both aesthetics and performance. I don;t think it looks that bad, but I don't think it's amazing either. My wife's 2.0l audi has dual exhaust (_o___o_), so it's nothing special for me.

ChrisK · 10-22-2007, 02:45 PM

I really like the twin large diameter pipes on the car. Looks very clean.

I don't consider my M3 rice, even though it has a quad exhaust. I also do not consider the current 335i exhaust rice, even though it has a dual exhaust setup. I'm fairly certain that 9/10 people would agree with me on that one.

What I cannot understand for the life of me is how an actual internet thread can be "rice"? How does that work exactly?

Oh wait, let me help out here... there much better

Templedogg · 10-22-2007, 07:13 PM

The current exhaust set up will not stop me from getting a 135i, but I do think the 128i should have it and the 135i should have dual like on the 335i, and leave quad only for the M line. I have a 2000 Audi S4 which exhaust looks just like the 135i, but I also wish it was more like the 2004 S4 with dual. Just looks more balanced. Again, either way looks good, one is just better IMHO.

... just have to see if BMW will move forward with the M1 in the next few years.

Seeing the duals makes so much more sense. Then again, and exhuast configuration won't be the deciding factor in purchasing/leasing this car.

So I'll keep these quads.... & stay with single side on my 1er.

To Bad the quads on our M's sound like glass in a blender. :iono:

mikey · 10-22-2007, 11:59 PM

Although I'm sure it's entirely unfeasible, I think it would be cool to have a twin-pipe center exhaust à la 2002 (not that I've got anything against the designed setup).

I know what you mean....
On the Z4 they managed to tame that quite a bit, (extra mid section resonator)
& with the Supersprint cat back the sound on mine is purrrrrrfect now. :smile:

I guess you didn't read my post. The e46 was DESIGNED that way, the e90 was designed with twin!

I like the way the dual exhaust looks on the clean, simple, back-end of the more elegent 335i. It just doesnt work for the 135i. It's a fruitless effort and ulimatly ends out "ricing" the looks of the car....

Offcoarse I've already said that once. again?

But the 1 series is not necessarilly a decendant of the 3 series. Are people forgetting the mojor design influence for the 1 series coupe' is the 1970's BMW 2002 ..?

It's a retro car in almost every sense....

So what are your thoughts on the back end of the 328i. BMW designed a single-sided exhaust for this car, yet for the 335i (with the same rear setup) they opted for a dual exhaust. So which of these two cars is "rice" to you?

I hear what you're saying, BMW designed the 135i/128i rear for single-sided. What you're also saying is that anything different than that is considered "rice" because it is not what BMW originally designed to. I don't mean to bash you or start anything, but you just come off close minded to something outside the box.

MontegoTwinTurbo · 10-24-2007, 09:50 AM

personally i like the way the pshop of the quad tips. But I too wonder why BMW didn't put duals ala 335i. It is just more symmetrical and completes the look of the rear end. Quads may be a little over the top, but duals I would consider going with as an exhaust mod, especially if it flows better than the single sided.
