Look's like Jason's (Turbofan)? As long as that's regular paint and not matte (tough to tell in the picture...) Black wheels, black side vents, black grill...and that's it.

Actually had lunch with him today.

I heard one of the Salesman at BMW of Murray bought a Matte Blue M3. Could be that one.

Park2670 · 04-23-2013, 01:01 PM

Yep, thats Roberts car. One of the special editions. Matte blue, black wheels, blue contrast stitching.

Redadair · 04-23-2013, 02:10 PM

Yes that is Roberts car. I haven't seen it in person yet but need to.

nsquared · 04-23-2013, 02:21 PM

His car is gorgeous. I almost crashed my car just looking at it...

as far as I know, I would assume you would want a 4 inch if you could make it fit, just cause the point of having DP's in the first place is to eliminate some of the resistance that the turbo deals with... BUT I dont know if the whole backpressure thing comes into play with DP's. its kinda like the idea of you dont really want to hack off your whole exhaust cause it'll cause problems... Maybe see if you can find what amount of back pressure the N55 needs... then go from there

trsaz23 · 04-24-2013, 09:16 PM

I've always heard 4" for V-8, 3" for 6's . Can't remember who said it, but it seemed like if you went too big you actually lose power, and yes back pressure does play into it

nsquared · 04-25-2013, 02:36 AM

Yeah, 4 inch dp just seems like overkill for a stock N55 turbo but I mean BurgerTuning and Evolution Racewerks developed a 4 inch dp. They must know what their doing.

e90slut · 04-25-2013, 11:36 PM

I just bought some cp-e downpipes. I'm too lazy to instal them myself. Seems like way to much work. Who can install for me without being ridiculously expensive? Any suggestions. My car is awd also..

Pretty good turn out. I only stayed for maybe 10 minutes. Not like the last one everyone was at.

Sert with tailored showed up with his super low e36 m3 and the gulf m3 was there again

Yeah I don't know when I will have time. I'm going to just find a BMW mechanic to do it on the side I think..

And I don't want to drop my subframe

Also is anyone planning on going to the spring import meet at davis fairgrounds. im gonna make a trip up north!

nsquared · 04-28-2013, 12:51 PM
