M235i - missus needs more NOISE!!!

[Ken Figenus]

It gives a lovely little burble on startup but is rather quiet otherwise. There is much to suggest that it could sound really nice!

I don't think the famous 'Golf Tee Mod' where you pop a Golf tee in an M135's exhaust vacuum hose applies to this car? I also think you can spend about £750 on an M Sport backbox to enhance its note but wondered if there were any other options? £750 is quite a bit for less exhaust metal and binning stock but she has been hassling me 9 months now for a fruitier note - it does sound a bit tame compared to my £250 secondary cat bypass straight piped mega dB brute!

Thanks for any tips/pointers.

If you think that is bad look at backbox prices for an E46 M3 onwards ; Over £1k for a 14 year old car. No I am not joking...

Is secondhand not a choice?

It always scares me when no distributor (looked at 3) quotes actual prices to people who are shopping...

Pipes sound great but I guess we are doing 4 figures here..? Please tell me I can buy a golf tee instead for 6p >tight<
