personally, i dont like the internally gated cars with the split dump pipes to make it a screamer pipe, but its your car your choice, we dont live our lives to make everyone happy. you will get mixed reactions with everything in life.

and yes they are illegal, but so are alot of other things on most of our cars. just an exhaust upgrade will get you an epa.

i have a screamer on mine coming off my turbosmart pro gate, i love it, and dont really care what others think :thumbsup: (not saying it in a smart ass way, but just saying i do things to my car for myself, not for others)

Just for curiousitys sake what is the defect for a screamer in your state?

In QLD it is classed as a major defect which involves a court appearance and your car being towed at the officers discretion as well as loss of points and monetary fine.

Quite an expensive infringement (if they manage to find it or know what they're looking for)

ouchhhh.

its not that harsh here in vic.

a close mate of mine just recently got epa'd in his car for a high mount setup power fc and screamer pipe.

got a fine, put his car to standard and presented it to the epa centre.

a major defect over here doesnt always get you a big fine, but just a fine for driving an unroadworthy vehicle (and they dont always give you that fine, my previous one never came with a fine)

but you do HAVE TO present a road worthy certificate and present it to vic roads.

haha in tasmania, I can have a 4 inch exhaust with no mufflers no cat, external gate with a special extra raspy screamer I made which is about 3" long. I can run slicks and probably purge it next to the cops and no one would look twice. 1200rpm idle

regarding the internal gated screamer.. its a shithouse idea. about as cool as making external gate noises out the window with your mouth!

Absolute gold!!!

Although back on topic - if you have a perfectly normal dump on the car now, why waste money on changing it.

Save the cash and buy something that actually adds to the car rather than making it sound like a cum-fart.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
