Hi guys,
So here I am a new happy owner of the Alpine White E60 M5 6 speed manual BMW. I bought a car about a month ago, before buying it was debating if I should just supercharge my E39 or buy E60 and later supercharge E60
. I even had a thread asking if I was getting a good deal or not, long story short I bought it
and never regretted it (however my E39 is still in the process of having rod bearings replaced, tranny swap etc..) so I have not had a chance of comparing them side to side, however can tell one thing: I love E60 as much as I love my e39.
When I first saw the car seller was in the process custom building stainless still exhaust, he had a car posted for sale and because he could not sell it for about a month, he decided to build custom exhaust for it thinking if he doesn't sell, at least he would enjoy driving it.
I made a short video of exhaust sound, have some pictures of the build process as well as dyno runs before and after.
I love the sound, however sometimes I wish it was a little quieter, I park the car every day in the 6 floor parking garage and I set off at least 5 alarms every day when I pull in, believe me, I am trying to drive as slow as possible, otherwise, I would be setting a lot more alarms.
I really had no experience driving it with stock exhaust, seller told me it was very quite and almost silent inside, anyhow below are the links.
Please let me know what you guys think about the sound

PS: car is completely stock except the exhaust.
