Thanks guys. I'm not sure what kind of exhaust i want, but i've looked at Eisenmann, Supersport, Superprint etc. Do anoyone of you have som exhaust to show me? Will Eisenmann 2x83mm be to big? Will the 2x70mm version be to small for the car?

Are you more into the looks or sound?
I am guessing here, but normally the Eisenmann is significantly louder than a Supersprint exhaust.
When checking out 550i Exhausts on YouTube, I came across a few 540i exhaust videos. No doubt there will also be 535i V8 videos as well. Maybe work that out first to see what you prefer and then see what sizes are available

Man I can't believe that car is 12 years old! Looks even 1000x better than off the assembly line! So clean

Awesome thread for an awesome project.

Quick question though, did you buy BBS LM or BBS LM style wheels? The actual posted photo's of the wheels on your car look like Miro LM style wheels since the spokes don't exactly match the originals, plus the first photo's you posted were authentic BBS LM's but from jonsibal, who is a known auto blogger.

Either I love what you've done with the car already!!!
