Hello all:
I'm new with this forum. I got 04's 530, and seriously in the biggest dillema whether I should get Borla or Eisenmann.
Any recommendations?
Thanx.

Hi guys:
I have finally made my decision.
I went with B&B, I tried to find as many clips for 530 with the exhaust, and in my opinion, the B&B sounds really really nice. =D
So, I already ordered the exhaust.
It's a really good deal too. I found the website from one of the forum member too. It's $704.00 shipped.
Can't wait for it... >.<

Can an exhaust not fit in a car?I mean is there specific measurement and specifications for installing an exhaust?
I plan to install quad exhaust on my 6 seriers later on but from what i read in this forum is that the right side of the exhaust would release less smoke?
Thanks!

Most of the exhaust we've discussed on this forum are from reputable tuners that specilizes in BMWs or exhaust manufacturing so their products should be direct fit to factory mounting locations.
The quad exhausts that give off less or no smoke that you're referring to are ones that have dummy pipes bridging off from the main pipes, routed to the right side to give the quad look. As the regular e60s don't come with quad or dual-sided exhausts from the factory, most aftermarket exhausts are just mock quad systems, except for the RDSport, as far as I know.
Your 650 already has a dual-sided system with an exhaust and muffler on each side. Aftermarket exhausts for your car will be real dual-sided systems with equal flow on each side. You'll just need to get mufflers that offer 2 tips each, giving you the quad tip look.

Well doesn't the Eisenmann quad have dummy pipes too? That's the amin reason why I am not going with the quads. In winter, my car would look rediculous with all teh smoke coming from only from the left side.

After I already thought that I don't actually want to cut the back spoiler to put the quad. Although I think the quad looks really really nice.
