Hello everyone! Ahhh it's nice to be back. I've been trolling on here and the M5 Board for a few months. Just an update since I last posted. I sold the M45 (I only had it for 4 months lol)and decided to keep my M5. The M has been in the garage since the begining of November. I still needed a daily driver and since I drive about 3K-4K miles per month I bought a practical 2011 Camry SE.
Now that the M is a "toy" it was time to start putting more fun back into it. I didn't want to go crazy since I did that the first time around so I went looking for used parts. The main thing that I wanted to replace was the exhaust. The few times I drove the car when I put it back to stock made me miss my RPi GT setup. It was so quiet. It felt like the cars balls got cut off.
Yesterday I changed that and finally got to install my new Eisenmann Race exhaust. WOOHOO! The beast has returned!
I was able to find another RPi Scoop/BMC/Block off plates setup, just in RED instead of black. I didn't think I would like the red, but I actually like how it stands out behind the grills. I also chaged my Matte Black theme to Glossy Grills, Gills, and M5 badge. I like it so much better since it matches the underside of the mirrors and the glossy shadowline trim. I hate to admit, but I was smiling as I was changing my signature on here (I know silly right)
Anyway it's good to be back. When is the first meet in 2011?!?! I promise I won't fall alseep this time...

Welcome back!
And how do you like that Eisenmann Race? We're trying to make up our minds about an exhaust for our M5 and can't decide between the Tubi Rumore and the Eisenmann Race. Is it very loud - I mean, obnoxiously loud?
