Hey Chris,
Can you post a video or sound clip (or link to one) of the exhaust? I am awaiting delivery and on the fence about an exhaust. I absolutely love the deep sound of the 645/650 stock exhaust, but I don't like the raspiness at idle or boominess while cruising which some aftermarkets produce.
Thanks,
DRP
P.S. You car looks great. Good choice on the anthracite headliner.

Hi Guys,
I just came across this forum and it looks like a pretty informative site. Hopefully I can help add to the good posts. Here are pics of my car if they need to be moved to another section please feel free to do so.

Very NICE indeed and so is that Dinan license plate frame! Bet you're enjoying that deep and throaty, yet very civil, exhaust note too, yes??
ENJOY & BEST REGARDS

I will try and get some video this weekend and get it on here. The best I can explain is that if I have someone in the car that does not know anything about aftermarket stuff they usually say your car sounds very good. Just like the post below it is civil but sporty. I probably would save gas if I didn't have the exhaust cause now I stay on the throttle just to hear that note! But if I wanted to save on gas I would have bought a prius
Oh yeah the Anthracite Headliner really finished the interior. If anybody is ordering a BMW with black interior get the headliner upgrade it is Option #775.

Thanks Chris,
I'm all ears....
Also, I heard somewhere that the install time at the dealer is about 1.5 hours? Is that accurate?

DRP
