Hey everyone, I'm a new member first time posting here. First time actually owning a BMW. Had an Audi B6 which was great for modding. Sold that and bought an RX8 which I just sold after 2 good years. Loved that car. Now I just bought a 09 323i with zero mods, super clean car, and low kms. Best $2500 I ever spent.

I really wanna do an M3 exhaust on it with the rear bumper to match. Ive been doing a lot of research on the E90post and I found 2 setups that people usually run.

the second setup is with dynomax vt4 muffler instead of just straight pipes.

My question is that although the muffler setup looks really clean instead of straight pipes do you guys think the exhaust tone would be close to stock because at the end of the day it is a 323i. Im having mixed thoughts because although straightpipes sound good but they're just loud 24/7 at least with a muffler it sounds sporty at high rpms.

let me know what you guys think

THANKS!!

I’m confused by the commentary that you want to do an M3 exhaust. It sounds like you want an M3 bumper and you want the tips to go with it...

You can get a a replica M3 bumper I believe with a single exhaust cut out.

I think the first step is to get the Rep M3 rear bumper, then the tips, and then head to the exhaust shop. I'm honestly thinking the setup below would be perfect and inexpensive.

I searched on YouTube "323i muffler delete" and it sounds pretty good actually. Check out the clip below
