Nice, thanks for taking the time to upload the videos


BUT, what I'd really like is a side by side race, how have you been able to hold yourself for all these days and not have a head on race?

I don't really care who wins, but I like to see how both cars do against each other being relatively stock.

Ok next weekend is coming up soon, take the cars to a closed road or a drag strip and do some side by side runs please

I have both a 2012 isf and 2011 E90 M3. They are both great sounding cars. The M3 sounds like you expect it to. The isf sound surprises you and comes out of nowhere. The best analogy I can think of is when you are listening to an orchestra and you hear the violins featured very prominently as you would expect. When you hear the cello, you hear these different frequencies that seem to cut through. The M3 is more like the violin in the orchestra whereas the ISF is the cello. I want to hear more of the cello.

Another unique sounding car is my TT-RS. It also has different tone and aural frequencies that you usually don't hear in cars today. The 5 cylinder turbo is quite unique.

Heres what my F sounds like with JoeZ intake and Exhaust and PPE headers yes they do roar and video was taken with cell phone, sounds way better in person. They have deeper sound then then M3 at the lower rpm range as well.

Not necessarily… On my 08 M3 I first started with a Magnaflow exhaust. Sounded good but hated the drone…. So I switched to a Gintani exhaust. Sounded better but still droned like a ****…. Then I sold both setups and went with the BMW OEM Mod. I had the can opened, cut out all 4 perforated sections, welded in non-perf pipes and closed the can. Honestly, the car sounded amazing… So much better then any exhaust I had heard before…. It was loud enough but not too loud and no drone what so ever. I kept the exhaust mod and never looked back… Until I traded the car in last week….. LOL
