Like I mentioned, the universal muffler may or may not fit very well. There was someone else on this board who tried to install a Borla universal muffler but said he couldn't get it to fit. I have no experience and haven't heard of any experiences with the Remus universal, so I have no idea if it'll fit or how it'll sound. It is cheap at 300, so up to you to take that chance. The Remus for the E60 is about $600. I got mine from bavauto.

You should try to hear some exhausts in person before ordering? If you're in NY you can check out mine. Several other members here have the B&B, Eisenmann, and I think someone has the Dinan.

Also keep in mind that the Remus on your car will sound different from my car since we have different engines. So not everything in my writeup may apply for you.

I have a B&B on my car, at first, I loved it, but now I am a bit tired of the droning noise in the cabin when cruising, it's getting a bit louder than before too. I am picking up an Borla catback system and see how that goes. Performance wise, the B&B doesn't really help, maybe it adds 1hp due to its less bent piping, and I didn't expect anything because it's only a muffler, on the other hand, the Borla system looks promising because it's a dual system, and it's a catback. I am expecting the car to be a bit quicker than it's now, and hopefully I am right.

ACS is also made by Remus (Austria).

So I did some searching and found a lot of info on the exhaust for the 550i and 545i opposed to the 530i. From what i read, the exhaust available are made by eisehmann, B&B, Super Sprint, Hamman, Remus and borla. i am leaning towars B&B or remus. First, can i get one of those exhaust systems for my 530i and if i can, can someone post from where, like the websites. Also, what kind of sound should i expect from each. i want a deep sound of like a V8 or maybe a ferrari, but I want it to be quiet at highway crusing. I just want some noise whenever i turn on my car and rev it a bit and try to get on the freeway. Any advise is helpful, thanks.
If you want a deep, bassy sounding exhaust you should go with the Supersprints. I think B&B could be too loud for some and it cause droning in the cabin. If you want a more throaty-raspy sounding exhaust go for the eisenmann.

Of all the exhausts available for the E60, which has the least amount of sound, but still sounds better over stock?

but do not commit the common mistake to buy on our posts or clips, clips shows nothing go and listen to all, sit in the car, listen to it inside, outside, depends how much you wanna be deaf

from less to more bass:

as gasterus said eisenmann is raspy and sopran..Supersprint and HAMANN and RD is more bass, matter of preference.

However the only real quads are Rd sport and HAMANNs.
eisenmann sports=remus, so winner would be BB depending on rpm, HAMANN=modified SuperSprint.

Cool. Thanks for the suggestions. Now I just need to find a local place in NY that does a lot of exhaust tuning.
