I had a quick question as to whether i should i delete my resonator too. I did a muffler delete it sounds great but not loud enough for me i want a little deeper growl will the resonator delete help out? I have 2008 328xi, i deleted the muffler and got stainless steel tips thats pretty much it. I have a video of how it currently sounds:

I would say yes, deleted mine, no drone and no rasp. On our audi, different story but Bmw was easy and sounds great with my magnaflow if you ask me/the wife who drives it daily.

Today, I've only been looking at pictures of mine, been traveling for a while... miss my car.
On the bright side, I just joined this great forum of enthusiasts and I'm snooping around for a nice pair of rims and maybe a new exhaust.

Well after doing a headlight restore 3 times, I think I finally got it right! First 2 times I went with Meguiar's heavy duty headlight restore kit. And although I love Meguiar's products usually, it just didn't work well for me... first time it was good but I missed some spots. Second time I knew what I was doing better but a day later the entire lenses were cloudy so I obviously messed something up. Third time is a charm though, I went with a fairly cheap product called "Wipe New", and wow it really worked wonders. I've had it on for a week now (I know I didn't do it today but I was too lazy to upload pictures a week ago) and they are still perfectly clear. So if anyone was on the fence about this product, it worked well for me, it might be worth the $15 or whatever it costs in your country to give it a try.

Lost Weight

Replaced 20lbs steel non-M front bumper carrier with 11lbs cf / kevlar M3 bumper bar. There's a Euro non-M rear bumper bar in transit that weighs 12lbs less than the US-spec carrier. The car is tracked.

Drove it around the block and realized how much I miss it after driving my Enterprise Malibu for the past week. Don't think I'll be able to drive a rental the whole time while waiting for an airbag replacement.

Finishing up.....

Had no time in the weekdays.

M5 rods on, exhaust is on everything coming back together.


Working alone on this and on stands and jacks is a pain.

Any impressions yet, compared with xDrive version? The M3 front strut brace was a real improvement in the front, for me. Wondering if the benefits in the rear can be used as well.

I wrapped my wood interior trim with glossy black vinyl. I also went ahead and painted the ring around the start button red because it was peeling.

I have never done vinyl wrap before so its not perfect, but the process took a lot longer than I had anticipated.

Honestly I can't push my car. I have a really bad wastegate rattle, turbos are almost out.

I have a set that might install myself.

Car is down. No more gas leakage.


Next:
VCG
Turbos
M5 rear sway
