Looks great. BTW did you put the M5 sport exhaust on a 530?
Hi Anthony, Yes I put an original M5 Muffler/(s) on. As I mentioned I got all parts from BMW directly. Even tried to put on an original M5 front and fenders - but the dealer was not "clever" enough to get it all sorted out, so I accepted the Mtech with the fender vents.
I posted about 3 months ago with photos of the install of the muffler.
When I ordered the M5 set it came with 2 mufflers, left and right.
BMW installed the left one as a real working exhaust. The right is a dummy, but looks perfect. Reason is as you will see in many other posts it is a LOT of work cutting into the trunk and relocating the battery to install the right side. I kept the right one if ever I get the time and inclination to to the job.
With the single M5 muffler it breaths great, I even posted a sound clip. I attach it for your enjoyment.
I tried to find the post, but could not, sorry. Some pics. The photo of the box shows the one that was removed adn below it is the right side M5 exhaust I have yet to install. BMW did all the work so I really dont know the deep details.
