My Ride: 2004 530I Black/Black, Premium/Sport, Navigation
2005 545I Silver/Black, Premium/Sport, Logic 7, Navigation
I just upgraded the exhaust sytem on my 545 for a B&B, wondering if is worth it and pay another $100 to upgrade my 530i exhaust for the one i removed from 545? it should looks a little bit better than the stock 530i one, but what about the perfomance and sound? Will it still make that nice sound when it was on the my 545? or maybe it won't because the engine is smaller.

Wouldn't do it. The 545 exhaust was designed for an engine that breathes heavily. If you put less engine behind it you are probably going to have back-pressure problems and will probably end up losing a substantial amount of power. It will probably sound horrible too...
