Not to mention the engine... (from bedroom wall to driveway in 25 years...)

[Podie]

So. Much. Want.

I think I'd get a bespoke system done.

I had an M635CSi for a number of years , rear exhaust box rusted away , so I took the car to Maniflow in Salisbury . They hand made a replacement , slightly larger pipes , and certainly less baffle .... the noise was addictive .
G334 WYK , where are you know .

[Filos Hippos]

Located in Belgium.

Travelling over the pond no issue though.

They are great quality, and normally a perfect fit and sound. My only problem with them is that their tip is folded, whereas the OE look is straight cut (on all M cars prior up to and including the E39 M5). That is why I chose Eisenmann, which has that look. However, I am not sure Eisenmann offers anything for the E24.

Have one from Fritz bitz on mine, its been great!

[Filos Hippos]

I see what you're saying...

Have ordered supersprint already though.

Might change to OE look tips because prefer that look too.

Keep you posted!

That is lovely, congratulations.

[twoblacklines]

You can just chop the tips off.

I am trying to debate between Eisenmann and Supersprint on my 330ci. Both will be 2nd hand, can't hear either beforehand... :/

You cant beat the original BMW system for quality.

[roboxm3]

That is effing lovely!

[Filos Hippos]

But OE is not SS, is it?

Supersprint is 309 grade steel...

Or do you mean performance wise??

Can't help r.e. exhaust recommendations but I felt compelled to comment and say what a lovely looking machine that is.

Get some vids on YouTube when you get the new system fitted

Hi guys,

thanks a lot for the kind words!!

Finding the very specific car that you've wanted for a loooong time is very gratifying indeed. Always wanted a proper M635CSi in "Diamantschwarz-metallic" with black leather interior and sunroof.

Look what I found today at my parents place though... My authentic bedroom-wall-poster anno 1989!!!


It’s dogged that does it... Or what I then tried expressing in my first English words: "The untenable"
