It's a public forum. Be open to criticisms.

Wow, I do sound like sleepyca31.

I'm actually quite impressed Joe. How the heck did you find/remember all those members with quads?

of how many members here have done the quad conversion or will be doing one? It seems like 2007 is the year for the quad conversion explosion.


1. Remuse - 2007
2. Daytrader0 - 2007
3. Jordan23junkee - 2007
4. Freed0m - 2007
5. Ivan545i -2007 (?)
6. Nixdoof - 2007
7. VT - 2007
8. KnIgHtCoM - in the works
9. Rodybmw - in the works
10. Asickmf - 2007
11. Owen530i - 2007
12. Fedcaper - 2007
13. Fantastic5 - 2007 (?)
14. Mikolay_c - 2007
15. AlexFW - 2007
16. My530i - 2007
17. Hamann5 - 2005 or 2006
18. Olebrumm - 2006
19. KU530 - 2007
20. Superhung - in the works
21. The chang - 2007
22. 545ace - 2007
23. aR. - 2007
24. Drantispy - 2007
25. Ats77 - 2006 (?)
26. Jsal - 2006
27. M-PoWeR - 2006
28. new genz - 2006
29. az530on21 - 2007
30. Steve Gill - 2006
31. Don Juan - 2006 or 2007
32. ImSoRtOfAbIGdEaL - in the works
33. BetterMakeWay - 2007
34. ICEMAN 316 - 2006
35. airflow - 2006
36. choioo -2005

I count 25 quad conversions/in the works in 2007. I'm sure I've missed some members.
I'm definitely going to do something, just doing the research and getting a feel for what's the best route, at this point I'm leaning to a custom vs brand name set up, keeping the Mtech bumper and adding an Eisenman diffuser.

Cheers

When I first thought about doing quads my initial idea was to go with a custom one. I was talked out of it and ended up paying through the nose, but it sure did sound great and my butt dyno felt there was a difference. I guess I need to tell myself this to justify the price.

Lame thread. You just started a new job and you're spending your time posting this garbage?
Wow, I just happen to reread what I wrote here and realized I forgot to put "j/k and ". People who don't know that VT and I are friends would think I'm a prick for posting that. Oh shit. haha

I think I'll ban myself from posting...

it becomes clear how rare a non-M e60 with quad exhaust is.

And it is another reason why a nonM E60 with quad exhaust looks fantastic!

Do I need the trunk finisher, in your opinion ?

It would certainly complement the looks Alex.
