    Those are called "French" lights for a reason, and that license plate is from France...

      Yellow lights aren't exactly a performance option.

      Very cool car, must be a handful with those small tires.

          If the sound of his exhaust doesn't give him away, the "psssssssssssh" of his BOV will!

              first thing i noticed was the intercooler. also with straight pipes it must sound like a beast. nice try at being a sleeper, but i say fail.

                      Maybe since its straight-piped, but a friend of mine has a b10 biturbo, and if i didn't know better i would have said it sounds like a normal 535i at idle.

                        ^ That's exactly why though. Straight pipe will not muffle anything. The only thing muffling the sound of the exhaust is the turbo itself. Driving around? Forget it... even cruising you can tell.
