If you're already lost, just go to a shop. You're already used to overpaying.

oh okay thanks for the great advice 🩷

Sorry, that was a bit rude. Just don't want you to mess up your car. It's not really a good platform to learn on.

yeah i figured that out by now, probably going to just go to bmw or a shop and see what some professionals say!

Maybe an unrealistic and unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't put any money into performance "upgrades" for anything other than B58.

yeah i bought this car not knowing much tbh probably going to get m340i in the next two years and pass this down to my sister since it’s paid off lol

It's a really nice car and you've spec'd it well! My opinion is to save that money for the next thing, which you'll find yourself wanting sooner than you think. Might help your resale to do nothing as well.

Be sure to do it way near the front so you can hear it better while driving. Ideally before those things with the wires sticking out the side of the pipe!

No wonder my 90's shitbox sounds like an electric car in comparison, everyone's aiming for loud cars meanwhile i want the opposite (with no performance loss)

Why, you want people to immediately assume you're a big dingus with a small dong?

Am I right in guessing your still on the young side? And maybe the type that drives past my house at nighttime making a racket? I don't see the point buying a 25 plate car to fuck around with? Why not get a good mate to go into a kind of partnership owning and running a real sports car and not a wannabe with amazon bits chucked at it! You could have a real car that's noisey for a good reason and track day it maybe? My mate got pulled for just that, having a stupid fart box, landed himself a sec 59 antisocial behaviour ticket lol.

He bought a an old tricked up golf that was a bit of a sleeper and says between him and his mate it cost nor ro much to mess with on track days. Think he goes to rhw 3 sisters track (sorry, don't know where you hail from).

Failing all that, get a mercedes S600 or something. Old ones are cheap enough now as they've been screwed to death with the sport switch on all the time.

If you're worried about fuckjng shit up then just don't fuck with it. Or you should have gotten a BMW that's already been fucked with.

u/Intelligent-Act-2584 16h ago

but i want a louder car🥲. just looking for advice no need to be a biatch

2

u/Alextryingforgrate 14h ago

Louder doesn't sound better. My advice to you is trade it in for an older BMW and learn to work on cars. Stop trying to keep up with whom ever and accruing debt to look cool. Trying to be cool like that is expensive and no one cares for it. So just do your self a favour and keep it stock so you can get something out of it jn the future. But have fun with that 50% depressiation on it already.

u/Intelligent-Act-2584 13h ago

the car is paid off but appreciate the advice, just a girl trying to make the most of what she likes.

u/Alextryingforgrate 12h ago

If you really like the car head to the BMW sub and get their advice. As some have said from just cutting it off to drilling holes with the trust me bro logic isnt going to make the car sound better. Sure loud is fun until you cant hear yourself think because of exhaist drone. As them they will be better help then here.

okayy thank you!

u/Secret_Effect_5961 13h ago

Ya don't need loud, trust us. It's just makes you look stupid even though you might think it's cool. It's not cool at all and to be fair it'll cause more grief than enough. Like someone's already said save the cash for a better job on it. Nobody is trying to be nasty just giving good advise. Are you uk?

2

u/Intelligent-Act-2584 13h ago

the thing is i don’t care what other people like. i like it lol and am simply looking for advice on it lol. it’s not to be “cool” i could care less what’s cool to anyone else aside from me. Like i said cash is no where near the issue. and nope from us🙌🏽

u/Intelligent-Act-2584 13h ago

and alex was def being nasty 😂 or a little rude for no reason. but it’s okay that’s the internet for you

u/Secret_Effect_5961 12h ago

Yes there are some haters out there that get a kick out of being the all knowing smart ass. But whittle through em and there's good advise out there. Your choice to listen to it or not though. Take care.
