Hi all,

I have for sale a complete sound generator and the rubber boot required to fit it to your car. I bought this a few months back from classiccarspares on ebay, but no longer require it as I've had my exhaust modded instead.

Retrofitting this to your car also requires the rubber boot replacement which includes the hole in the side for the sound gen to fit in.

Happy to sell for what I paid for it. Sound gen was £35, and the rubber boot was £26 including my BMW privilege club discount, so £60 + delivery which should be about £4

Cheers Paddy, it really is. Sounds absolutely brutal with all the foam out. Had I not had the exhaust done it'd still be in situ :)

A worthwhile mod for 2.2 and 2.5- love it in my 2.2 and easy to do.

Was the 3.0 rubber elbow a straight fit. The reason I ask is I'm thinking of trying my 3.0 without it on at all and just going down the exhaust route. So I'm interested to know if the 2.2/2.5 version would fit a 3.0.

You'll need to buy a rubber boot without the hole in side side. An easy replacement and £30 from BMW. Part No. 7514880

I just wanted to check the aperture of the boot is the same on the 3.0 as the 2.5 before buying anything

Can't say 100% for the 2.5, but my 2.2 to the 3.0 was a direct replacement. I don't imagine it'd be different for the 2.5 though!

that's exactly what i needed to know. i know the 2.2 and 2.5 share the same part i just wasnt sure if it fitted the 3.0 throttle boby and air flow meter pipework

The boot is a direct swap but you also need the gasket ring (item 7 in the diagram) to ensure a good fit as it is slightly narrower.

cheers Paddy!
 
Due to me having to take a couple of unscheduled weeks offline this is still for sale
 
Got one fitted on my 2.5 and its epic sounding when the engine is under load! Don't bother with the foam inserts, ruins the sound!!
 
Thanks Greg :thumbsup:

Managed to get it fitted once I got home, not as easy as I thought but got there once I worked out the connecting collar needed changed,
Loving the different sound but I might try and get a bit extra foam and try a few different combinations to see what works best!
Hope to see you on one of the meets in the future! :
That's something else off the list, AUX connection next! :D
 
It's definitely a wee bit fiddly to get it fitted, but well worth it in the end. Glad you're pleased :thumbsup:
