e39 M5 burble

[bryce]

Still looking for a beater and its come down the old school M daddy.

Had a run in one many many moons ago but cani mind if it had the lovely v8 rumble and burble that Im looking for. Kinda like the rs4.

Anyone got / had / remember what one sounds like?

mine was pretty quiet for a v8 tbh

needs a SS back box

aye thats what Im thinking shimmy. not one for sticking fart cans on motors though. With an exhaust is the v8 / rs4 noise acheivable or is it just not that sorta v8?

BMw quietened it on purpose, you can make it sound superb very easily, better than RS4.

Im not sure best box to put on but ive heard a few and some sound sublime

check out one of the M5 forums i guess


(i was in traffic next to oen a bout a year ago going into London and it sounded soooo nice with the BBox on)
