Which Mods?
Hello all, im a proud new 2002 Titanium Silver M5 Owner

I was just wondering what the best exhaust was out there for the M5. Im looking for a great Sound - plus performance.

also if you have any other ideas as far as other mods please feel free to post em here (as i do not know too much about M5 Mods)

do a search on Exhausts. This topic has been discussed way too much in the past.

Some posts have sound and/or video clips.

I would recommend Dinan if you want everyone to notice when you fly-by

Is the borla exhaust lighter than the stock exhaust? Also, do you get a lot of cabin noise with the borla exhaust? Is there a noticeable performance difference with the exhaust?

The Borla exhaust is over 30lbs lighter. I really don't know since I put the Borla on after driving over from the Dealer.

dinan stinks..
RareM5 doesn't know what he's talking about..
he doesn't even have an exhaust to begin with...just teasing yah

anyways supersprints look great and sounds nice..not very intruding at all.

best of luck.

but if it was up to me..i would get the AC Schnitzer's

But Young - Rare M5 has had the pleasure of riding in mine before he started his project!
And I guarantee he knows the sound of a Dinan after that!

So True! How can I forget the day I went for a ride in Mark's Beast. Ahhhh... Bring back a good memory...

Soon.. I will have aftermarket exhausts.. So Young can't no longer pick on me.
