hybrid 1043 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 Sweet as, cheers for the comments Karl! Inside the car while not droney or anything it's just too loud, I feel like a bit of a twat when giving it a boot full! Seriously .. I think your should leave it be. It sounds amazing .. and that doesnt happen too often. Everyone else outside can just get over it. However I think youll find everyone on the outside will be saying how badass it sounds. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 Oh I'm keeping it no question! But I just want to keep experimenting with different mufflers I can bolt on and off in 10 minutes. Im having the 335i mufflers fitted this week - I have a feeling they will sound quite good. I am also going to get the RS4 mufflers put back on but closer together so the 4 tips are more in an M3 E46 position, those too will be flanged and 'hot-swappable' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

central3 31 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 Oh haha, were you in the Honda Intergra? It sure goes rather ballistic, did it sound quite loud from your perspective? I think I would ask the same question but isn't this a bit like asking your partner if she thinks your pe*is is big Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yng_750 247 Report post Posted March 26, 2014 Crashed the 540i Bmw GT ran a stopsign in front of me Literally 6 kms since i did front suspension bushes and rocker covers and a few other bits. And 100 meters away from the petrol station where i filled the tank to the Brim Needs bumper and bonnet repainted if not replaced. New guard, headlight. fog. grill. Lower bumper inserts. Left brake duct and forward splash sheild. Bumper trim and chrome strip. Also rad support looks bent. But all bolt on bits i suppose so not the end of the world Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucan 196 Report post Posted March 26, 2014 I started removing bits of the intake in search of a water leak on the passenger side of the E39...Having never really worked an M54 engine before, I've got to say its a real PITA... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted March 27, 2014 And with another bimmer, even worse... Im not so sure the BMW GT is actually even classed as a BMW so its not so bad. Counted as the biggest flop in history. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted March 27, 2014 Saw a lot of them in Europe last year. Were they a financial flop or just a critical flop? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 Took my V12 wagon down to a friend of mines truck garage, its a big car, but its microscopic compared to the Macks, Ivecos etc, also about 4 or 5 brand new Iveco Firetrucks getting prepared to be deployed etc. Dropped exhaust and gutted all cats/mufflers except for the back box. did a little video open headers which is kinda cool, doesnt sounds as good as it does in real life though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o5dcOghlEM&feature=youtu.be got it all back together, and its sounding a lot better (but not perfect). Still as quiet on idle as it has always been, but sounds a lot better when on the power both inside and out, and a LOT more power too it seems, the front cats were blocked on one side, and the other side wasnt much better. Always assumed they were as it didnt seem to have quite the power you would expect from a V12. Should keep me happy for 5 minutes. dont know how to make a video of cabin noise etc, will need someone to hold camera at some stage maybe. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreakMyWindow 1874 Report post Posted March 30, 2014 Bought a set of used fl xenon headlamps with broken adjusters, and with one of the adjustment screws broken off. Spent the weekend cleaning them up, replacing all broken adjusters (without separating the lenses) and used some 2 part epoxy to re-attach the adjustment screw. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted March 30, 2014 Got the E39 intake back on without issue. Replaced the steering hose clamps to hopefully stop the fluid leaking. Replaced the steering rack boots and got 4 new tyres. Attempted to start the E30, battery completely dead. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
