Is that what you call "Film Noir"?

Yours is a 4.8? Sounds louder than mine although I have not heard mine from other than the drivers seat.

Hahaha ... It wasn't done on purpose. I even had a towel over the license plate - guess I didn't need that, huh? :rofl:

I think it's the proximity of the camera that made it sound like that. I probably should record it further away. You should have somebody start your car while you're back there. :D

I will tell you that its pretty accurate. I love it when sometimes at starup the revs don't drop right away - stays revved about 1/2 a second longer! :thumbup:

Why don't you guys with the 4.8 and x-pipe chime in ... Is my clip pretty close to what you guys get?

I can imagine it would. That must have been a few bucks. Do you have some good closeup of them on?

Have any of you guys added the air intake and ECU upgrade? I'm curious to know if there is a felt difference in HP or sound for that matter. I did a ram air intake with hood scoop and air box in my Integra GSR and I don't get the sucking of air sound at all. All I hear is the engine reving which is awesome. Hopefully the same will come with the X5.

Something else I notice also with the ECU upgrade which was on my M3 was that even after installing my Supersprint exhaust and ram air intake, my performance numbers hardly changed until I chipped it and then they jumped huge.

The difference in sound on the 3.0 was very slight when adding the x pipe. But change out those stock mufflers too and man will it roar!

oh and congrats on the x pipe gofast guy!

Thanks man, I've got emails out on quotes to get the other upgrades so we'll see how long I have to wait.

Goodluck :thumbup:

So is the AFE CAI next?

I was talking with one of the exhaust guys and he said, it would totally cheapen the vehicle and I guess I'd have to agree with him on that one. I think my money is better spent buying better placed upgrades into the vehicle in other places.
I had a crazy dream last night I think I'm going to pursue to do with making a short video about the utilitarian capabilities of my X5. I think I'm going to ask for some help with this project from a friend of mine. Right now, I've got a lot of ideas as to what I want to see in the short film so I've got to get them down on paper and then work at filming/editing and some photoshopping from there. I'll keep you guys posted as pics come up but this is going to take some time.

:bustingup Hmm, utilitarian capabilities of the X5. Isn't that an oxymoron? I can't haul wood pellets in mine, I don't want to haul bags of mulch or bales of straw or bags of topsoil cause I don't want to get it dirty inside. I drive my old truck when it's snowing cause I'm afraid the door handles will freeze up on the X5...and so on.

The X5 is a whole lot of sport, very little utility. That being said, I still love it anyway.

go for the sport magnaflow mufflers..they sound great
