Hello, my 08 550i with M-tech was rear ended few days ago, the other party insurance is paying for the damage. I have a option to either fix it all back to normal or mod it with quad exhaust. I don't want anything loud just couple notch above stock.

Option 1: umitzua replica m5 bumper and umitzua quad exhaust
Option 2: OEM m5 bumper with umitzua quad exhaust or custom quad
Option 3: Mtech with quad diffuser and quad custom exhaus

Let me know what you think. Thanks

Sorry to hear about your mishap.

My choice would be 'option 3' I've personally seen it on one of the members' car with Remus Quad Exhuasts and looks/sounds great. It's pretty rare to see Mtech quads on the roads.

Option 4. OEM M-tech rear and CF diffuser and stick with single outlet exhaust with Remus exhaust, very clean and subtle. Sorry had to hear you got rear ended.

What other mods do you have or plan to add? I would stick with a consistent style.

Make sure you file for diminished value. You are looking at extra few thousand dollars in your pocket.
