Probably a couple hundred. No sorry I don't have any info on it, came on the car I bought. It looks to be in decent condition just some usual surface rust. I'm not even sure if it's just an axle back or if it's a full catback lol. It does have cats in the mid section though, can't tell if that's factory or magnaflow as I'm still learning about these things.

If anyone in the detroit area is interested I'd be down to meet up so you could check it out

Sounds like it's a cat back.

e92 stock catback is pretty much straight with an x pipe until mufflers.

Not on the e92. e90 has a resonator and mid cats.

noorj · 08-01-2014, 11:34 PM

Just checked today, my car 100% has bmw cats in the midpipes. Maybe they were added with the exhaust?

I guess lol. I just was blasting down one of the streets near my house and wasn't paying attention. Told the cop I was learning manual (my first first manual trans) and he just kinda laughed and shook his head, and then proceeded to give me the ticket.

Haha, I see. If you really want to pay someone, I know some local car enthusiast groups on Facebook have people that would do it for a fee.

They're probably relatively good, if they're charging.

Check out like xceedspeed, Michigan BMW Owners, Sport Autmotive Driving Enthusiasts (SADE).

Gingerman is a good one. There's also one north of us called Grattan.

dbrizz · 08-06-2014, 09:08 AM

I was looking at Grattan's site earlier. Have you guys taken your cars out before? What's it like? Any tips going for the first time? My car is completely stock.

The car is made to run the track. It will do very well stock. I've driven plenty of stock BMWs on the track.
Just be careful, safety first and follow all the guidelines. They provide tips and lessons.

Gingerman is also nearby and very popular.
