Got my piddly little LHS twin pipes changed for a Cat-back straight through dual pipe arrangement with Carbon trimmed tail pipes!

Initial impressions; Loving the look, workmanship is spot on and it actually growls now. Obviously an oil burner will never sound like a 435i or 440i but from the cabin it has a nice deep down subtle growl and when lifting off, a slight howl (really really subtle but nice and noticeable from inside). I didn't do this for the noise but mainly for cosmetic purposes and I love it!

Tail pipes are just under 4" in diameter with lovely quality CF. I'm picking up a CF M rear diffuser from AlanYoro35i on Saturday to finish the look.










And also a cheeky bit of interior CF. Inner door handle trims from AutoTecknic in the US. Really high quality CF, 3m stick-on-top (which I was sceptical about). The finish and fit is absolutely spot on and because the CF is very thin, you cannot tell its on top.

Will now need to swap the door pulls to similar grade CF now!

Mate, I still love the stance of yours. This Friday/Saturday, Lee and I can do some great comparisons between ACS and H&R.

CF interior bits look good - do the edges blend in a way that makes them unnoticeable? Some shots taken obliquely to the CF trims so we can see how flush-fitting they are.

Bought mine as UAC and it has wood (walnut ?) trim which I'm getting bored of.

Watsey You couldnt even fit a ciggie paper in between.

[UKF30]

Best looking F32 on the forum and very subtle mods

[Darth Helmut]

Thank you all! I am actually really loving the look now and am almost happy

Couple more porn shots;









The 'money shot'

[Darth Helmut]

And a bit of noise. Nice subtle grumble at idle, resonance also is subtle and a nice gulp when backing off the throttle. On startup, nice little bit of bass and on shut down, a satisfying 'whuump'.

[Kal101]

That looks and sounds absolutely fantastic.

Am liking the interior cf - seriously tempted to get sone of those cf skins to comolement my cf interior.

[MickyD'bo]

You. My friend. Have an AWESOME car right there. Respect.

Watsey I am very very fussy and CDO (like OCD but worse because I have to put the letters in alphabetical order....)

If they were even only 99% good looking, they'd be off the car.
