4.8is video w/o resonator posted!Finally

I got a quick clip of the video posted here:

ftp://67.19.55.79

login: bmw
password: e60m5
under 4.8is w-o resonator quick clip. This is a short clip of what I recorded untill the larger clip is finally uploaded this evening. Just to give you an early idea. The full video was well over 30 mins so I cut it down to around 20. That video should be up on there by 9PM EST USA. Since alot of people here were asking "How does it sound"? "Inside The car"??? "How about at highway speed"? "What about stop and go traffic"? So I grabbed a camera and my step daughter and went for a ride. Just trying to do daily driving patterns. With windows and panoramic roof opened and closed. No crazy racing or hammering the 4.8. Just so people could get an idea of what it sounds like to drive around in a 4.8is without the resonator. You can hear the diffrence in the video but let me tell you that it sounds 1000% better in real life. no kidding. The video does not do it justice. I hope this helps all that are interested in making a decision about the resonator. Let me know what you think.
Enjoy! Even though this type of driving is BORING to watch!

I put the smaller video file here on the site (24 MB in size), but the other file is almost 300 MB in size and much to big for me to host here

http://www.xoutpost.com/videos/4.8.%2...%20clip%20.mpg

It sounds great

Sounds nice, in the end of the big clip it sounds very deep!
Do you got any pictures on the exhaust mod.?

I converted the big file and hosting it here (only 2days), Ucrew can d/l and host it on x5world.

Actually the full version is over 400MB. It seems it will not let me upload right now. I will continue uploading the full version in the morning. The end has some really good footage.

Sounds terrific. Thanks a lot for posting it. 2 questions for you:

- Do you have any clips of what it sounds like from the rear, outside the X5?
- Do you have a clip of what it sounds like cold (that 3 minute rasp has me curious)

Nice job.
