bravo 35 Report post Posted May 30, 2005 What kind of muffler is that? Selling it? Same thought was running through my mind.The rust under teh rear bumper - was that there already or is it a result of sitting outside since the accident? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 711 Report post Posted May 30, 2005 How loud is it? Any chance of a sound clip? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted May 30, 2005 wont be able to sound clip till i get new car...although if you look up Gus Burnout that gives you an idea i really like it, its quiet when you want it to be, and loud enough when you dont the rust was already there.....i knew it was there from poking holes from the boot.....stupid e3o's.

petone 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 Where are the E30's known for rusting? Bits I know of or have seen include: Sunroof Firewall, also around where the battery sits up front Around the rear tail lights Rear shock mounts Around the front windscreen Where else is bad for rust?
