E70 mods and exhaust ideas! (Please post)

This is my 2007 3.0si. alpine white with Tobacco interior. Let me know what you think. Also if anyone has any ideas how to get a little more volume out of the exhaust without going crazy let me know!

Huh?


Raptor,

Wheels are flush, car looks great.

You might want to consider ripping out the muffler and going with custom magnaflow setup. Can't just throw in an x-pipe like the e53s, need to get a little creative.

Raptor - sweet ride! Love the wheels!

What's the little logo / emblem on your tailgate?

Someone suggested to me to install Phantom Bulbs in place of the yellow turn signal bulbs on the front end. I checked these out. They're simple to install within the headlamp itself but I haven't looked under my hood yet to see if it's easy enough to reach into the area where the connector assembly inserts into the housing.

For the bulb itself, basically, there's a thin metallic film evenly coated around the surface of the bulb that still lights up yellow but when the bulb is off, there's no egg yolk look to the lens where the bulb is located. There were 2 levels of metallic coating thickness to choose from on one of the sites I found.

Where did you get your wheels? Are those the 21" OEM Y-spoke 375s?

It's nice of you to advertise for your performance shop. Thanks for explaining what the logo was.

Just look up Stealth Bulbs - there's a small company that developed this brand. According to this site <here>, the part number is PSY 24W SV. I found a site for a BMW facility in Atlanta that appears to be selling these as well. Click <here> for their site.

Thanks for the tip! My brother had something similar on his e53. For now I actually just ordered white led turn signal lights to see what they look like.
