Over the weekend I installed my M5 Rear with custom Magnaflow 14862 quads. I deleted the square resonator. Resonator was cut off right after OEM Y-Pipe with oval outlet. Made an oval'ed round adapter to fit in the round inlet of the Magnaflow 14862 single inlet, which is One In, Two Out exhaust. Each outlet runs to each side of the car in the rear, Driver's & Passenger's side. Tips are 3" Double walled, Eisenmann Stamped, dual, staggered, angled slightly inwards to fill out the space just a tad bit more "IMO this also gives it a more aggressive look).
Before I installed the quads I had the Magnaflow 14862 installed to hear how it would sound. It was a direct swap of the OEM exhaust with the Magnaflow, no resonator deletes. The sound was nice, but the sound had a good amount of droning sound. Also the sound was heard coming out from the ends where the tips where. Now with the Magnaflow replacing the resonator, the sound comes from closer towards the engine of the car more so then where the tips are "IMO it sounds more beasty this way" ; is more throaty and has almost zero drone with a more noticeable European F1 Sound (in the same sense as a Eisenmann would sound). The sound has a pleasant presence, and when given gas it growls very well!
Use Head phones if possible.
ENJOY!!!

Nice setup. We should get together and see how it sounds in person? BTW, you need to get the center black thing for your bumper to cover up the spare tire housing.

Hey whats up Phil and all, My car is just a 530i nothing too special, no modds to the engine at all, no filters or anything. just the magnaflow 14862. I bought my magnaflow used from one of our Seasoned Members here who had it on his E60 545i. The install was done buy a 15 year old family shop here who specializes in custom exhaust. The install of the custom exhaust was fairly cheap. under $200. The rear bumper was painted/installed at my cousins body shop, cost for paint and install was $200. The rear bumper itself was more costly. The rear cover, 2 support brackets from my local dealer with my discount it cost me $645 after tax. In all one of the more expensive mods, but definitely one of the most dramatic upgrades I have done to my car. Very happy with the outcome!

Thanks C! I can't wait to get a cover for the rear diffuser area, I hate how I can see whats behind the the tips and all. Once I get that done I will be more satisfied.

Ha! I'm right there with you. I'm getting the Hartge Rear Diffuser, just for this reason. We think alike.
Sweet that is too on my To Do List.
Hartge has a very aggressive effect on the 5 Series looks! Post pics for us bud when you do.
