Cant wait to put it on....Professionally painted and ready to mount.....

Better slap that shit on before the meet! :buttrock

Is that a painted rear diffuser? Why would you paint it black? Isn't it made of black plastic?

I didnt i boughtit like that but it looks even better

So many better ways to spend your money. Should have asked for an X-Brace...makes a HUGE difference on your car.

i have one in mind but its too much for the one i want. Im looking into custom making one : )

the x-brace is roughly $120 with hardware brand new...usually you can find a decent used one for about 100 bucks.....not that expensive for something that makes a hell of a difference....

There's a never ending gb for the xbrace in the gb section here.

Are you guys talking about the one that goes under the transmission?

Nah, its under the engine moreso than the transmission.

Protects your oilpan too.

I also coulda bought a civic as a commuter and saved 5 grand and invested it? Thats a better way of spending my money right?


I dont get why you have to hate but thats your opinion, and its my car. :)



It will all come in time....im still starting out.


You bought a M3 so you didnt have to do anything to it cosmetically. Im going back and fourth between cosmetic and performance.

Just to make you happy a Xbrace or a exhaust is next though :).

I didn't post anything resembling "hate" or "opinions", only facts. From personal experience and common sense. The diffuser won't even fit right because you don't have an M3 rear bumper. Unless it's a replica from umnitza. The X-Brace will drastically change your handling as well as protect your oilpan as you need all the help you can get with a lowered car.

You can have my old M3 exhaust for $50 if you want it, lol.

If anything, I'm being REALLY nice to you considering the ass reeming I've given other tools who have virtually stock cars and try to throw M Aesthetics on them.

I think the Z3 come with that cross brace standard.

Yea, I don't think Mitchel was being hard on you or trying to bash on your new item...just giving some insight to future mod related purchases.

you might take him up on that exhaust offer though!:)

Well its not a M3 its for non m3s so it fits perfect I dont know if its umnitza ....How much of a difference in a m3 exhaust and Mine? I would But i would also like to upgrade to a REALLY nice one you know? Not just upgrade halfway then upgrade again.

Like i said Im still starting out. I have a list of mods to do and this came up at a good price thats all.

Nothing intended just sounded like you were calling me a dumbass for choosing something cosmetic rather than performance.

If i had a stock car and tryed to make it look M. I would gladly bend over and take it. There isnt really much else to do to the rear except a diffuser so thats why I got it. The front has a lot of possibilitys and I dont want to put a M-front Bumper on it if i can help it.

On the contrary...I never said you weren't a dumbass either. The Tribunal known as "Mitchel" is monitoring your progress and will report it's conclusions soon.

Ha ha alright. Let me bounce back from the christmas bank account drain. I honeslty want a exhuast. What is the Big difference between the M3 exhaust and mine?

gathering information :)

About 25lbs. That's really it. I would go for a custom Magnaflow setup--most bang for your buck, sound and HP wise.

how much they run ?

Well, you'd have to buy the muffler and then get custom piping at a local muffler shop. I think the muffler itself goes for $50-100, depending on where you buy (eBay is always the cheapest for this). The piping and install is largely dependent on your shop. I would budget about $250 for the entire thing.

magnaflows HONESTLY sound like hell.

Having heard both the SS Autochrome mufflers sound better and is around the same price.

I think just about everybody in Bham would disagree. After hearing SneakyMike's M coupe with custom magnaflow, we were all believers. It was pure sex :drool:

No doubt. Magnaflow is amazing.

Where is your hellrot Tan :shifty

I dont want a coffee can either i rather have something nice and honestly not that loud and lower RPM

don't base it off of Mike's car, his sounds amazing, it doesn't sound that great on coupes/sedans with the dual exhaust tips instead of mikes quads.

It sounds really cheap.

:rofl

The quality of that video is ridiculous

That one's not too bad.

Custom Magnaflow seems like a YMMV experience--depending on who does the work, if you keep the cats and/or resonators, and which muffler you buy.

Any clips of Mike's Mcoupe for comparison?

thing drones like MAD.

But don't take my word for it by all means...

Meh, UUC drones like crazy too, but people like it. I can't remember the guy's name, but there is a nice custom magnaflow build in the E36 section if you do a search. He has clips, part numbers, etc. Sounds wonderful.

I don't get any drone with my uuc. :)

looks nice man, enjoy

looks nice man, enjoy
Thank you :)

UUC is rediculously loud at low RPM's, it's virtually impossible to be quiet and it makes you sound like a little kid honestly.

You get what you pay for with exhaust.

True. My magna-flow sounded awesome on my old 328. It sounded 5 times better on my buddy's M3. Cost me 200 dollars installed with tips that looked perfect on E36s.

It makes it easier to annoy the idiot driving with their cell and not paying attention to their driving. :devillook
