Guess the engine

Nice cold morning resulted in surprising good sound.

Being on a 320D LCI using a BCS (powervalve) back box and a stainless steel
straight through catback think not a bad outcome

Never got round to filming decent sound bytes but as car was defrosting gave it a quick go.

IMO an improvement over stock is even more noticeable when the right rev range and on a good road

After having a stock 320D recently to temp car even more reason to get one I think as in that all I could hear is the clatter on front now even inside you get a nice sporty resonating sound. Ironically without it and just a straight through pipe car is whisper quite joy of DPF I suppose, no idea why BMW put a mid silencer and a huge rear one really.

Sounds good mate, better than the usual tractors you hear on start up. How much did it cost you?

magic77 · 11-13-2013, 05:40 PM

TBH cant remember the to have the midsection made out of ss and fitted was about £100 and then cost of the backbox which I got on offer for about £200.

Something like this give or take maybe a £100 quid but been over a year so cant remember exactly
