If you click on his name just by the the sight of his post it goes to his profile. If you click on 'my garage' it will have his cars in there. In this case, he has a BMW Z3M.

Nice car, is that an aftermarket exhaust I spot? I regularly park up next a regular ST, and it sounds pretty flat when starting, on revs and pulling away - I think STs are cars that really benefit greatly from a good aftermarket exhaust from Milltek or whoever. I've heard some great ones!

Well spotted...


Its a Turbo back Mongoose system, with a 200 cell cat.

Certainly gives the car a much better sound.

Its always been the a shame the ST is only a family focus with a big engine, with very few mechanical upgrades the RS benefits from.

I have also had Eibach stiffening/lowering springs fitted, to help it handle more like a car than a boat on the corners, as well as the Mountune remap/panel filter to bring it up from 225BHP to 270BHP.

Few cosmetic mods too
- Tinted windows
- symmetrical fog/reversing lights
- colour coded fog surrounds/grills

Also have the car protected with Paintsheild, would recommend this investment to anyone, who cares for their paint work.
