Unfortunately this makes walking a bit harder than it once was.

unfortunatley cannot veiw picture with crappy work computor.. but no offence intended.
Wait till bmw back... p.s are you leaving the center box out this time?

No offence taken in the slightest.

Yes, the centre section was the one causing all the speed bump issues so it's now going to be straight through pipe to twin silencers out back. I cannot wait!

thats how had mine done in the end.. £1200 (including manifold) only to remove the center box for clearence!!! worth it for the sound and no scrapping on speed humps.. also what size rear pipes did you go for?

I left it to the guys building the system to be honest. Having seen the standard & quality of their work I'm sure whatever they come up with will be fine.

I'm just having the system done for now and the manifold early next year hopefully. I have a couple of other priorities at the moment so am saving hard.

Twin silencers are the only real giveaway on my car.

?? twin pipes on each silencer? or single pipes on each silencer like mine(was a 323i like yours origanaly)

No, single pipe on each side. I've seen cars with 2 on each side - like my neighbours e36 - and it's just not my thing. I prefer OE look, with just a few more tasteful mods, or stripped out race look myself.

exactly! i think they call it OE+ look ,mint body as it was intended a nice ride drop with a set of wheels. then tune for performance.. engine brakes ect..With out ruining the original look.. i think thats the way forward but thats just my opinion. Although the all out race look is the next step once OE+ has been done
