Was a little reluctand to spray, but I couln't find red paint to brush them. So I decided to take the gamble and spraypaint them red anyway

I have blue brush paint as well, but I think red looks better...

No, just the fronts... Maybe the rears will follow soon, but I'm done for today

Just had my Supersprint installed. I think it looks great!
Has a dark and nice six cylinder sound to it, but still comfortable...

Hope you like

hey buddy,+

the new exhaust looks fantastic!!
How much did you pay for it? Do you know if it's TUEV certified? I don't know if it exists in the netherlands..

How did you manage it with the valve? did your exhaust have a valve for opening the second tip?
Mine opens only above 4000rpms..that sucks big time---

But anyway, those tips look huge compared to mine..only 76mm, I bet yours are 80 or more?!

Thanx Ivano!

Actually the diameter on the Supersprint is 75 mm , so you must have a bigger exhaust (tips) on yours already...My OEM size was 63 mm wide and 58 high (oval)

I got the exhaust from a member here (dutch 530i) because he went to quads...he got me a nice deal. Normally the run around 700,- euros.

The exhaust is TUV approved!

My old exhaust had a valve, but not sure if the would open or not...the Supersprint has no valve I believe.

great to see the transformation in progress!
tbh i'm not a great fan of deep dish rims, but i must say the rolling photo

the massive 20" really do justice!

nice ride!!!
...whats next??
