Does anyone have an E39 M5 Exhaust for sale?

[humpbackmaniac]

I have been bidding on a Tubi on the 'bay and won at £880 but when it ended a polite email saying sorry he had sold it the week before. Brilliant!

Now ive convinced myself an exhaust is required but have no unit.

Anyone? Would rather a brand name and not too ear bleeding.

Saw two tubi's on ebay not too long ago, both with a BIN of £300.

I personally managed to buy a H&S for £150 from an advert on the m5board... which I can recommend for more smiles

Have you tried M5board.com ? Second hand there will not be too much tax to pay and shipping by slow boat will not be too expensive either. I got a spare set of e39 M5 wheels from the USA and Canada.

I bought one of the tubi sets from ebay...........they had another set but it had a little bit of damage to the tips which could have been fixed, I think they still have those for sale and they sound AMAZING (They're also £1400 new so at £300 are a bargain!)

For info...........

It took me nearly two years to find a decent second hand exhaust for sale......not an easy thing to do sadly.

Good luck, the sound is well well worth it.

You indeed had a bargain. When I saw them coming up I was very, very tempted to buy the one you now have, but having just replaced mine with the H&S less than a month ago, I think putting this one past swmbo would have meant instant divorce papers

Would you care to share where they were old chap?

[M5Tom]

The chap who was selling them had a bodyshop in Maidenhead....Their phone number is 01628 770111
The exhausts aren't listed on ebay anymore though so I think they've sold.

Darn, but thanks for your help.

Oh thanks, thats brilliant news, I'm really happy for you.

[JerseyS2000]

sorry didn't mean to gloat (that much)

I've been scouring m5board, bmw5.co.uk and other places trying to find the right exhaust at the right price and am chuffed to finally find one.

I'm sure you get yourself something good - otherwise consider getting a custom straight though set of pipes maybe?

HTH

Woohoo thanks.


Anyone else bids , "I kill you"

[JerseyS2000]

Hope you managed to get an exhaust eventually

I've had my Eisenmann system fitted today and BLOODY HELL ITS LOUD!

Seriously, its the loudest exhaust I've ever had on any previous cars I've modded (Fiesta 1.4 Sport, Golf GTi, Saxo VTS, Honda S2000), but it sounds utterly gorgeous.

Very throaty and menacing at low revs, but a real spine tingling, race car howl at the upper reaches.

Awesome bit of kit and very highly recommended. As long as you have deaf neighbours.

Cheers

Dont Eissman do a servo'd version also?

I am now thinking of chancing my hand with one of the Ebay advertising "Build one while you wait" chaps. Anyone any experience of these? I am very exact about the look though and terrified of creating a Royal Feck Up.

Treating her to a few bobs worth of paint and a wheel refurb this week so may as well go the whole hog.

I have the Eisenmann Sport and it strikes the right balance for my use, which is mainly motorway cruising: no drone and just the standard exhaust turned up to 11 + with all the right noises. The Race version is LOUD.

A cheaper alternative is some SuperSprint X-pipes and the standard exhaust.

I got mine done for £180.00 at a Longlife Exhaust centre in Basingstoke. They just removed the rear baffles and welded in straight through pipes. The tip choice was very limited but the work was to a good standard and the sound is amazing.

Its worth ringing around locally to see what is on offer but most seem to be around £200-£300 and can offer a wide range of tips and claim they can tailor the sound. I have used this place before for a De Cat on another car.

My system is the race version, with supersprint x-pipe as well, hence the loudness.

It looks excellent as well.

But I was about to get custom backboxes made up if this one hadn't come up for sale and they are nearly as good (apparently)
