WTB: Z4M Aftermarket Exhaust

[zomby]

Hi all, I’m looking to buy an aftermarket exhaust for my Z4MC. I'm basically after something louder than stock but without too much drone; having said that I don’t do too many motorway miles so that wouldn’t be the end of the world. I've done a fair bit of research and the Remus and Stromung exhausts seem to fit the bill, although I’d consider others if someone has them lying around.

I’m based in Birmingham & Solihull and don’t mind travelling a bit to collect Alternatively if you’re happy to ship then even better!

Zomby,

Just had the exhaust mod done on mine and cannot recommend it enough. I got mine done at Powerflow (thought they'd gone to be honest) and its totally changes the car character.

Costs are around £200, so a decent saving over getting a new cat back system.

Here is your other option: http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=94234&hilit=best+modification

Another member is having the same modification fitted today, will wait and see what his thoughts are.....

Just to add to the conversation, I've had Machine Monkey aka Mat modify my back boxes. I was after what you've described - no drone, no boom/angry wasp sound, but a deeper growl. The bonus with this route is it's an easy swap over, no issues aligning, it sounds great and you don't look and sound like a Corsa B with bucket on the back.

I'll up load a video to the threads tonight.

Depends on your budget op but im on my second ZMR & had BCS backboxes fitted to both .
Quality is extremely high & tone is terrific :evil: no drone & can still converse in cabin the looks of the Oem are also mirrored but sized up so they also look great too

Thanks for the advice guys! I forgot to add that I'm considering the aftermarket back box route as when/if the day does come to sell the car, I'd want to be able to return it to stock as easily as possible (am I sad for thinking that far ahead??? ) . Am I right in saying that unless I got my hands on some extra OEM boxes that these mods would not be reversible?

I did come across this but didn't know he could do the mod for an M as well? The videos don't seem to be working either

I hadn't considered this, thanks for the tip! How much would this cost?

You would have to confirm prices with Nige at BCS (St Helens) , "Stevo///M3" is having a set fitted this week or next i think :?
Price is around £875 but don't quote me as i know they were about to increase when i was there in May
Link here to them running although hard to convey the tone when cracking on roofdown :evil: https://www.instagram.com/p/BUXA6gLDGa6/?taken-by=andybmwheels

Once the back boxes are modded, you can't reverse it easily as far as I know, so you'd either need to keep your old ones as spares or buy another set of standard boxes (there is/was a glut of these at the moment in the FS section).

I'd advise simply keeping your old boxes for the sake of £2-300.
