What map are you on?
What are you driving: year, color? I may have seen you around. Not many e61 even in this big metro area. Every time I get any service done the Seattle BMW SM sends me an actual letter asking to buy my car! Told me in person he has a list of people who want a 6 spd 535 e61.

So the rattle in my exhaust got significantly worse over time. To address the problem, we decided to do some cutting...

Before:

After:

Problem Solved!

This also helped to balance the position of the exhaust tips exiting the rear bumper

Would have been awesome if you had a before and after sound clip, but at least give us your subjective feedback in the meantime!

I don't think sound clips are ever any good but anyone in the Seattle area is welcome to message me in case you're in the ares when I am - I'll let you hear mine in person....

Thread revival. I'm searching Google with no luck but has anyone just done a simple Magnaflow 14816 muffler (very popular on the E38 (I've got two on my 740iL) & E39 platform) on a 535, mine being a 535xiT in particular.
