Cheers - I am *slightly* wondering if it's going to be loud enough but will let it bed in for a while before I do anything else smile

Looks good, should have gone cat-back as a minimum though.

You may be right - there are two other pipes in the cat-back kit which I could pick up for another £300ish if needed but will wait a bit and see first.

Main worry was it would end up being too loud... as noted above I am a long way past my boy racer days smile

Considering doing the same, milltek rear silencer for my M235i just have a two things worrying me, did you experience any drone with just the Milltek rear silencer?

And would you say that it’s worth it over stock?
Cheers appreciate the help.

I went full cat-back in the end and I'm happy with the noise and the look - it's a clear improvment on stock. There is a *slight* drone but it's never been enough to bother me and I am sensitive to that sort of thing!

One thing to watch - my hatch has the underbody brace and the garage needed to buy longer bolts to get this to clear the exhaust, not a big deal deal and not sure if this will apply to the coupe but just to be aware.
