I am flattered. Thanks Paul. Because of you, I want the XM radio. We're even!

Just a quick question... Did you have to import all the Kelleners upgrades, or is there a dealer in the NE that imports them for you?

Ah yes call me sick, but my 2001 was a race car, and the 2003 is a show queen. In fact, the car has 3000 miles on it, and it has seen 'close-to-redline' maybe once. XM radio it is! Thanks again for the idea Paul.

Mr. Poochie,

I e-mailed Kelleners directly and they sent the parts to me. It's very simple. info@kelleners-sport.com

So you mean the X5 has been to 150MPH more times than the M5? :biggrin:

Well, Paul, it wasn't my first mod (I started with the B&B TriFlows), but that very photo sealed my fate, as well!

After I got rear-ended in rush hour traffic, I had an opportunity to replace my blackened, in-cabin-resonating B&B's. Guess what?! SS exhaust & x-pipe! I absolutely love the look.

And thanks to you, 'Rocket, for steering me the right way!

Hey Rocket,

Do you have the X-Pipe with you kelleners exhausts?

If Not, Should you. I'm still undecieded as to which exhaust path I'm going down.

DDM5 said something about a Titanium one, sounds Light and expensive, but I wanted what the tone is like.

I'm rapidly loosing interest in a full S2. It sounds to me that their could be better combinations with some of the Dinan gear.

As for the Dinan Headers at $8,000 USD which is about $16,000AUS, I could buy another car for that.

But I'm sure Rob Bliss would hand build me a full custom system from motor to end, fully guaranteed to produce power for about $5,000 AUD.

I came accross some small videos of the Kelleners Exhausts, and they sound awesome. I might play them for Rob Bliss first to say he has to produce an equal or better sound.

MIB,

I do not have the x-pipe on my Kelleners, but I ahve a good friend who has it on his, and it's AMAZING! TFung's G-Power with x-pipe sounds similar. Very loud and angry.

Eisenhaus sells a titanium exhuast for the M3, but not the M5. It weighs 20 pounds or something crazy like that.

If the Dinan headers are too much, you may want to consider the Kelleners engine tuning package with headers, cats, and exhaust. It supposed to give somethign like 65hp for a lot less. I have 100% faith in Kelleners. There are a few people on the board who have the cats and even a person with the engine kit, they love it. PM me, I can give you more info on it. Here is what I copied off their site:

K.sport Engine Kit KS 5 Step 1
performance approx. 33 kW (45 HP); conversion: four K.sport camshafts, two special air cleaners, two K.sport stainless steel rear silencers, modified ECU (max. 7200 rpm), top speed 303 kph; fitting incl. €A6.900

K.sport Engine Kit KS 5 Step 2
performance approx. 48 kW (65 HP); conversionlike above, additional with special exhaust manifolds and two K.sport catalytic converters, top speed 306 kph; fitting incl. €A13.190


Here is a link to a site that has a ton of Kelleners M5 sound clips:

Good luck.
