BUT... (there is always one of these), it looks a little unfinished to me, especially the hatch and rear bumper, which kinda look like they were replaced after the art was done.

However that is just my opinion, and besides opinions are just like ********, everyone has one.

Minor quibbles aside, your graphics and color palette are bold and look great!
Never saw this post for some reason, thanks James! I really appreciate your input. Hope all is well friend!

Thanks guys, really appreciate it!

Some post Bimmerfest action





Tried to see if we could raise the Eisenmann muffler up any, but the back of it would hit the link right above the axle shaft (see pics below).



see here it doesn't sit flush with the chassis



and the mid section



The exhaust was made for a coupe, hence the length. I'm going to remove the whole cat-back all together and put a setup in there that works, possibly Z3/M Coupe cat-back or similar. The shop wanted $425 for parts and labor to do it in-house, which isn't too shabby either

Get yourself a little magnaflow shorty. My friend added a 6" resonator and it sounds killer.

I believe I just found my next muffler:

Hopefully there's an opportunity to receive a discount somehow, Mallard

Some updates:
New muffler to replace the old Eisenmann, fits much better and doesn't scrape speed bumps, which was a huge thumbs up from me.

Also replaced the crap passenger seat with a new suede seat, no pics yet but enjoy

When I looked at the first two pics, my initial thought was that you posted pics of different cars. It reminds me of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Did you go with the schmiedmann? How do it sound? Did you sell your old setup?

BTW, your car is tits

Do you have any pictures of the new muffler up close? Specifically showing its relation to the diffuser. Looks very nice from what I can see.
