Well, even if it runs correctly, why have it. It does NOT increase performance, the sound is and it draws attention.....sounds like a lose, lose situation.

Why do you buy clothes? Why do you buy shoes?


Because you like it right? Like how it looks on you?

Same thing with my car, i like the way it sounds, this is MY car, not anyone elses..

Do you have an exhaust on your evo? I bet it's real quiet and don't draw any kind of attention uh..

So you look the same way at a person who has a Rolex instead of a Casio huh? I mean just sounds to me like why have the Rolex, it just draws attention and doesnt do anything more than the Casio but costs more money Ill keep my watch and Bov

Word. I guess I'm just a BOV hater. I just thought that BMW owners would think that BOVs are very "F&F" and wouldn't like them. Guess I shouldn't assume

I would sport a Rolex though, cuz I'm gangsta like that.....But don't compare BOVs to flossing, totally different things.

Also, ever since I have been modding cars, I've always gone with the form follows function moto.

Nobody expects it on a BMW...that's why i got one, surprise people...


And for the BMW owners that you are talking about, the fanboys that praises their precious 3 series and dog on every other car on the road...yeah, they don't look too kindly of BOVs, half of them don't even know what one is...

With that said, most dealers will still not make the effort to prove that a specific part caused a problem.
Don't know what dealership you go to, but they try to blame anything and everything they can to get away with not paying for it out of their pocket.

Ironically, it's not even out of their pocket if it's on warranty.
