Off topic question: what exhaust are you running? And do you have an external mic recording the exhaust note? It sounds nice and aggressive. I can' t get my 135i to sound exciting. I have the so-called PE mod to replicate BMW's performance exhaust but just can't get much volume out. It's too quiet. Yours sound nice and loud. How did you get that? Thanks! And if you did a previous video on your exhaust mods, please point me to it.
Hey @YangSui I am still running the stock exhaust actually, but I did the 'golf too mod' to bypass the exhaust flap. I actually plan to upload a video on how to do that soon with some before and after sound clips. (There are other videos out there too if you can't wait for me) Thanks, definitely has a nice sound to it and I have no urgency to make it louder. I will likely do a catless downpipe in the future but will keep stock muffler until its a restriction. My car came with the PPK tune so it has slight burbles from the factory. I do have an external microphone to record the exhaust (DJI Mic 2 is a gamechanger). Not quite as loud inside the car obviously but plenty loud with windows down.
@Shaws_Garage Sounds great! The external mic is really making a big difference in your videos. I did the "golf-tee mod" too to keep the flap open. Still too quiet in the cabin for me. Also, nice runs.

Thanks man, definitely enhances the videos. Keep me posted on what exhaust you end up getting. 💪👍
