Finally got around to taking pics of a few things I've done recently to my Xi. I picked up the OEM M5 SMG shift knob from Mike (Nigxdoof) about 2 weeks ago and I met up with Raj (rkhettry23) Wednesday night for the Magnaflow exhaust. Thanks fellas!!
Mike installed the shift knob for me and I had the exhaust installed yesterday and I'm pretty happy with the sound, I brought it to my local Meineke shop and they charged me $75 for the install. It has a very deep exhaust tone and with the windows up, you can definitely hear it from inside the cabin but it's not loud enough to bother wifey and my son.
On to the pics .. Sorry about the filthiness, I didnt realize my console is so dusty.

Few revving vids. On the 2nd video, that's the train passing by in the beginning of the video.

Very nice, congrats 
I really like that shifter, too bad Mike lives too far away or I'd see about getting him to do mine too
