The 6 cylinder BMW PE system is totally different. It involves cutting of the midpipes (to remove mid silencer I think) as well as a new rear silencer. It is a much more full on exhaust job and not a simple bolt on silencer like this. The only part # I had for the 6cyl PE was 18 10 0 443 581 BUT this is for E90 and E91, According to RealOEM and the ETK it won't fit on E93. This makes sense as the E93 is from the coupe form, and the exhaust system for the coupe is different to the sedan. It is slightly longer or shorter, I don't remember, but it is different. I have not been able to find a part number for the PE for e92/93. It probably exists, try asking someone in the USA with a 328i E92 or 93. Just remember though, in the USA they use the N52B30 whereas your car has an N52B25 I think. It's the same engine essentially but a different size so I'm not sure whether that makes a difference too. Best thing to do would be to find an enthusiastic parts guy at a dealership. They will say that they will not sell you the part, but just insist that you are simply researching to find the right part and you just want their help with that.

Thanks! I'm super happy with it.
No actually. I think I'm done (for now at least anyway). I feel I'm at the point where I have done the main things I wanted to do, and I COULD go for more but it's just not worth it. I'd love a set of the 313 wheels. But thats ~4-5k. Then after I get the wheels, the empty space between brake disc and rim will be too much so I'd need bigger brakes... ~another few K's. Then I'd feel silly about having a BBK on a 320i so maybe an engine swap? I wouldn't mind a sliiiiiiight drop just for a meaner stance. But its not worth it and its not exactly a high riding 4X4 at the moment either. Karbonwerke trunk maybe..but for over 1k.. forget it! But seriously, there are no more mods I really want to do. Another set of wheels eventually (either standard 193M, 225M or 216 style). But I've heard there are problems with cracking on the 225M and they would be a b!tch to keep clean too. Do you have any suggestions on what to do? I'll also get some tyres soon but I don't think that counts as a mod. Now I start saving for a new car. As you may have seen in the video I'm a green P represent! I get off in just over a year so then its time for some turboooss and powahh! I'm thinking of something like a 135i on BMWs full circle programme. New of course, theres no way I would buy a 2nd hand 135i. That way I can have fun with it for a couple of years and just return it at the end. Nothing else to worry about. That, or trade in current car for new gen 3er coming out soon, but I don't really want to say goodbye to my car so soon. Then.. the sensible part of my brain kicks in and tells me to save up to put some money towards a house/flat/property. That way I can have an even nicer car a few years down the track. |

SBC, since you and the car have plenty of life left I would say keep her n run her to the ground, invest in a money spinner investment(property or whatever), then save for a M3, is a win win that is if you not set on making the 135 your new beast
Btw you will love this, got a fitting manual for the exhaust from Schmiedmann so you can check if that space can be adjusted. Last edited by cruvon; 11-10-2010 at 04:42 PM.. |

Hey cruvon, I'd rather continue the discussion with you here then on the youtube video.
I tried recording some exhaust note on a crappy $5 mic I found lying around on my table and it didn't turn out too good. I think I'll invest some dosh on a decent setup. What do you recommend for a reasonable amount of money?

Same argument goes for:
Rims Tints Stereo Carbon fibre bits Because a nice sounding exhaust system brings about greater enjoyment when you drive the car.

Also, I am a realist. I have a 320i. Short of adding a turbo or supercharging it there is not much performance that can be gained. The mods I have done are to enhance my "enjoyment when driving the car," as Jeef Beef correctly states. Also, N/A cars have minimal potential for improvement compared to forced induction motors. Even if I had a 330i and got the BMW PE the end result would be the same. No real performance upgrade. If only it was.. |

Sennheiser MKE 400 mic Rode NTG-2 RODE SVM The cheapest one seems to be the Azden SMX-10 for under $75.00 from Adorama listed by amazon.com. Check on B&H Photo and Ebay too or see if you can hire them from someplace for a day. http://www.amazon.com/Azden-High-per...2392651&sr=8-1 Not familiar with your cool DSLR, how do you intend connecting the 2 mics as you originally intended? Do you have mounts for them? Last edited by cruvon; 11-11-2010 at 08:00 AM.. |

Exactly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and cosmetic improvements are for ones own enjoyment while driving as SBC aptly summarised. Most performance mods too hardly see the track or are hardly used for what they were intended for but look sweet on modded cars so are great to have. The Performance exhaust crosses over between cosmetics and great sound so is a very attractive mod and performance improvements are subjective to what one intends using the car for.

Its like why did I buy the your BMW performance brakes off you? the brakes on my car stops well enough anyway. We're all looking for that special uniqueness that only our car has and no other BMW has. Whether its one thing or a combination of things.

Thanks cruvon.
Yes, it should fit but I'll send him an email to confirm. My engine is N46N and not N46B, as I was thinking. http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...82&hg=18&fg=95 |

Looks like at the next meet all the 320i's will have better sounding exhausts than the 6cyl models
Time for more of us to start getting some mods...
