I know the def is one of the reasons i guess there's nothing out yet, unless i'm wrong(correct me if I am).

Just trying to find any possibilities for anything really.

What is your reason for looking for a different exhaust? Sound, looks, performance or all?

At this point just sound/cosmetic really, since if my goal was to change it for performance i'm sure i'd be pretty disappointed since changing out the catback wouldn't really help much..and this is just from experience from my 335. Besides i have a jbd that's waiting to be installed, so performance part is semi covered since there's not much else offered for the d.

YouTube - BMW X5 Diesel Sportauspuff Exhaust Extrem Sound

This sounds pretty crazy, but I'm curious if it would drone at highway speeds. I know eisenmann is doing X5 and X6 diesel exhausts.

Cheers,

Just got back with Nate from, there's an exhaust for the 3.0 but it doesn't sound good on a 3.5. They're hoping to get started on the 3.5 later.

Your tractor will just sound more like a tractor with louder exhaust. Of all the things that are appealing about a diesel, generally the sound out of the exhaust isn't one of those things and most people are looking to hear it less not more, probably why you don't really see much for diesel exhaust (except for redneck diesel pickups!)

I can see you have not been anywhere near a modern BMW Diesel then. 'Tractor-like' performance and sound is a thing long past with BMWs and most high performance diesel engines. The rattle is a thing found at the 'utility' end of the market....

If you have a pre-LCI E70, I've been working on a dual stainless exhaust tip offering for the car. I've attached some pictures of the how they turned out on the car. I'm totally pleased with the finished product. A distinctive difference and huge improvement over the stock tips.

I will probably do a lower price initially in getting the project off the ground. PM me if interested.

Those are beautifull! Great work! How much for a set, and how do they install... weld? clamp?

Thanks,
