OK, so its my last day to decide.

I had previously posted regarded a new muffler for my 545 - hadn't gotten too much feedback. I think I'm going with the B & B since most of you have sone the same. I'm really looking for that throatier sound. Especially after driving the C6 and the GTO this weekend at the Alameda testing facility.

I believe that I'll never accomplish those kind of sounds, but does anyone have any thoughts on the bet "bang" for sound and weight?


The reason for the last day's decision, is that I'm turning the car into the dealer tomorrow for install of the m - sport kit and figured that I would get it done while the car's at the spa.

Thanks.

I think the B&B. Check it out on http://www.bbexhaust.com/New/auto-fl...?page=e60.html
I also want to fit bigger exhaust on my 530 but I think the B&B exhaust are too big. BMW now has got a sport silencer for the E60. I read about it the option catalogue. Check that out! Good luck!

B&B does what you want including sound IMO.

If you are just looking for sound, then I would suggest you give Borla a look. I know the Borla System shown here is for the 530, but I see no reason why it would not fit the 545i -- give them a buzz and ask.

I had the Borla system on my E46 M3 and loved every moment of it. Good sound.
