Eta-to-M50: Build thread

Nice dude! M50 is a good jump from E :)

That is the famous "!@#LOUD" muffler.

It's really not that loud. I've talked to several people that had it, and said it wasn't that loud at all, and one guy who had it on an E36 M50 325i with all stock exhaust, and said it wasn't bad at all. Also, most of what I've read online says that a lot of guys used it to successfully kill all of the rasp in their exhaust system, and many just replaced the stock muffler with the 11378.

Here's one on an E36 325i with the 11378:

Ooh, I like that.

Because that makes it all better.

Janderson, I like the muffler, what model is it?

People who think this need to set their posts per page display setting higher. I only show 34 pages.

Either I'm too young to understand what you are trying to say, or what you're tryin to say makes no sense. Either one is ok with me.

Awesome, thanks for confirming that, Curt.

@ Phreshkid - Thai ladyboys are what Wh33lhop and I both want.

The only issue I was able to notice so far is that the throttle is sticking a bit, it doesn't return back down to regular idle until a few seconds after I let off the gas.

The RPMs are designed to do that from the factory I believe. Its in the programming so that on a shift etc the rpms dont fully drop when the throttle is completely closed. The only time you notice it is when you come to a stop. Then a couple seconds later, the rpms settle.

Thai ladyboys. Mmmmmmmmm...

I give you 4 days and then you and wh33lhop will both wish for the same thing.

The idles from my experience on 24v's ('95 525i M50v and S50) are a bit different. As the RPM's drop they don't just plop to resting idle they almost... "hesitate" at roughly 200-300rpm above then slip into resting idle.

Interesting. That's exactly what it's doing.

And yes, even though I couldn't really get on it at all, it felt so amazing to be behind the wheel of my car again. Even just puttering along (only got up into 3rd), it felt so incredibly different from the M20. It felt like I could blow on the gas pedal and it accelerated. Quickly.
