Hey guys,
I am in the process of modding my car for the summer. I already have the rims and tires on the way and will be ordering the umnitza body kit for my 535xi, the only question is, should I get quad exhausts from umnitza as well and go with the rear bumper that fits it or keep the stock exhaust and go with the rear bumper with only dual exhausts on the left side. For me its not about performance at all but more of the looks, I don't want the exhaust to be annoying loud, even if it was just the same noise level as the stock one. So what do you guys think? Thanks in advance

IMO- quads are the best thing you could do for looks. I did mine with 77mm quad tips and I still get a kick out of looking at it after all this time. If you are going this far with UMNITZA- do it and you won't regret it and have a look that you will rarely see out there on the road.

quads give a very full, "complete" look. i think they'll match you body kit well, and i suppose you won't have to have a massive budget, considering you're doing it purely for cosmetics, not performance
but, like i remember someone else saying, tabooooo !

Thank Guys for the quick reply!! Its greatly appreciated. I guess I will be going with the Umnitz exhaust system, unless someone else knows where I can get quads for less than $600. Does anyone have any experience with the Umnitz Quads?
Or get an ecu remap for ur 535i. I guarantee u'll earn the HP back!

RPi scoop directs more air into ur airbox henca creates more pressurized air flow creating more HPs! Trinity Autosport sells the RPi Scoop. I'll tell him to contact you with more info.
When u want to upgrade your lighting such as HID fogs, please contact me. I am in the NYC area and can help you install anything for the E60.
