Re: 535i Touring

ha ha ha totally agree...but i think it will appeal more for those who have individuality when modding and of course the xtra boot space. it cannot be an //M but it can definitely look as good.....

You are so shallow. If the wagon is conti, it will be known as AVANT or ESTATE.

Alpina not so easy to fake ok
You must know if the model exist before faking
If you see A3 or B8 with alpina badge, how will you respond ?

Re: 535i Touring

Hi all

First time BMW owner, gonna be picking up my used touring probably at the end of the week. During the test drive, noticed that the exhaust is really quiet so therefore am looking to change to aftermarket LTA approved exhaust.

Deciding between the M Performance exhaust or the Eisenmann exhaust, and from YouTube, both sounded similar. Was hoping if any of you guys have either fitted to your cars and I could drop by to have a listen to it before committing on which brand to go for?

I am willing to drive to wherever you are just to have a listen. Would prefer to have the brand that have a nice growl and at the same time slightly brassy note.

Thank you all!

Re: 535i Touring

Dun think you can really hear the diff from youtube cos of the quality of the equipment used for recording and playing the sound.
Best is to hear from any friends or any ppl here willing to give you a ride in their car.

Re: 535i Touring

Yeah, that's what I thought so too, that's why requesting if there is a possibility of hearing it in person.

Re: 535i Touring

Anybody willing to lend a hand? Still deciding between the two exhausts. Looks wise definitely quad is better, but since I hear more than seeing the exhaust, sound will be piority for me. Any one can advice on the sound difference between them and the loudest between them while still within LTA friendly?

Many thanks!

Re: 535i Touring

Big thanks to a F10 535 owner I met at swc last thursday afternoon, who let me have a listen to how the eisenmann sound like. Din managed to catch his name and if he is in this forum as well.

Now is to stalk out one with a supersprint and m performance.
