I guess I'll be in minority here, but to me they look cheesy. Too spread out and pointed up too high. Besides, these are non-functional. [fake]

I'd rather see just two pipes - one o each corner - if you really want to have them separate. But 4 on a 330 is an overkill.

On a side note, how about this one. [:D]



And this is a must-see link for all modders. [rofl] [rofl] [thumb]

I don't like it. Sorry, but that upward angle thing is....well....I am not sure I like it. The idea is okay but look at the "good" BMW mods (Dinan) and the M's, I would go with that type of look if I were doing this.

I don't like it either. The angle is just wrong, looks a bit Uncle Ben's to me. The bumper cutouts look rough too from that angle. I would do it just like an M if it were me to retain the BMW style. The only thing that looks better to me than M3 tailpipes are M5 or Z8 tailpipes.

I hate the 'bent tips' look, it's just not subtle enough for me I guess. Now the straight back e46 M3 pipes - that's a good look. [^]

I don't like it either but that's just an opinion. I know one thing, if they are non functional than it would look pretty stupid when it's cold outside and you see the white vapor (or whatever it is) coming from one set of pipes and not the other.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I hate the bent exhaust look in any car, but it's the worst on a BMV because it makes the car look cheap. Even if the exhaust was functional, the bend would only restrict exhaust flow and hinder performance.

To sum it up- this exhaust is the riceboy version of the M3.

I bet it doesn't work very well. Read the Dinan web site about their exhaust for the E46 M3, which comes stock with 4 outlets. Dinan ended up making two of the outlets dummy on their muffler to get the sound right and the power up.

Not everything that looks cool works cool.

I did see the quad exhaust on a 325 last week, the only one I have ever seen. It looked fake IMO and any BMW person could sure spot it as a fake, even with the removal of the badge.

I say buy an M car or get a nice, respected package that includes aerodynamic and performance.
