I crash my car sometimes
Thunderhill West 1:32.6 E92 328i
First time tracking this car. It needs a lot of things, oil cooler, better tires, and way stiffer springs. I could only get 2-3 laps before it hits 275F and I have to cool the car down.

Ambient temps were amazing though ~70F Super slow at T4, I’m usually hitting it 3-5 mph higher I cooked it in T6, not good at all and missed the apex T9-10 awful as usual, my line needs to be better Oh and my transmission is having ...

Skip to 11:15 for lap Second fastest lap of day. Didn't record my 1:29.1 session. Getting pretty consistent, some traffic in this session. I need to work on getting my line correct and steering less. Complete setup change. I did this at 3PM when it was hottest (102F). My IATs were 103-105F which was definitely affecting my car. Could probably get 1:27 easily if it was less hot and no passenger....

Looks like it was a sub-30 lap but was blocked at turn 8-10, unfortunately. We’ll get there next time. Big improvements from the last time I was out here. Over 3 seconds faster than last time just from going faster and giving it more throttle at dorito and turns 4-6. Still lots of room for improvement. Need to go faster everywhere. Driving is still very sloppy but I am getting used to the car m...

Nice! New pb? I could see this car doing sub 27 with no 3rd gear issue and 225 tires
Yup new PB, about a second faster than last week! A good driver could do sub 25 no problem, the power is there My brakes are bad and bushings are getting worse. Next month at west hopefully is better!
Do you have any idea if the 330i muffler is similar in flow to the 135i muffler? Or if there's any difference between the 328i and the 330i muffler? I've got a 330i but I don't know if I should only do the headers or also the muffler.
@@skyline2601 in theory the 135i muffler should be louder than a 328i/330i muffler since a turbo greatly reduces exhaust noise already. If you are going to do headers, do that first. It wakes up the car already and then you can see what muffler you want after
Lol. Scary but indeed good save.
Thunderhill looks to be a rad track! Does your car have a 5 or 6 spd transmission?
5 speed, its an awesome track to learn on. I always learn something new everytime I go there. blind turns, off camber corners, double apex, multiple lines to choose from in many different corners
no excuses
That sounds amazing
Did it sound louder in lower rpms for you or not? I have a muffler delete and I feel like its not crazy loud and especially in higher rpms.
that sounds awesome! so just a muffler delete and headers?
yup just that. It is pretty loud, too much for me. I've been on a 135i muffler for a few years now.
Too raspy for my taste. I have the Turner Motorsport Axleback exhaust and it has a much nicer sound.
Agreed. I added on a 135i muffler about 2 years ago
Really great sound you got here. Do you think the AA headers with the BMW performance exhaust would sound good like this or too loud for the street?
Is this with stock cams?
Yup stock cams. I’m putting a built 2.5 pretty soon though with high compression, cams, etc
UA-cam recommendations doing its thing 😊
woo hoo!
Damn
198 views, this got recommended out of nowhere 😂
Thank you youtube for recomend this
fr like thanks youtube excellent content that i defiently enjoyed a lot
thank you for your support :)
@@bruce_son You are very welcome, Keep the good content up. How did you hack UA-cam for views?
What headers did you put on ??
Hello, just wondering how extensively did you have to modify the 135i muffler to fit? Hoping to remove my stock muffler and do the same. Thank you :)
I had an exhaust shop do it. It's relatively close, but you definitely need some extra pipe to connect it to your midpipe. Not a bolt on affair
@@bruce_son thank you very much, I appreciate your quick response! Cheers man!
What size piping did you use
Boosted
still have stock resonator & 2nd cats?
Yup
ohhhh emmm geeeee
Sounds Heavenly!!!…💯✊🏾
Can you hear the burbles from inside the cabin?
Yes if windows are down
does it sound louder in person because on video it sounds good but i’m curious if it sounds just as good irl because i might do this to my 328i?
It’s not crazy loud, definitely livable. It actually might be under the legal limit. You can’t hear much with windows up
So would the resonator delete in addition to the muffler delete be too excessive you think? Been debating on what to do for mine
Will be really loud, and drone a lot. I personally hate drone and cannot stand it but everyone is different.
@@bruce_son I’ve heard it depends how many cats you have too, apparently some models either have 2 or 4 total. Sounds like my 08 E90 has four from what I’ve read .
Did it ever shoot flames with this setup after a long hard drive?
No I did not have a burble tune that would dump fuel into my exhaust
Bro your N52 sounds really good! I’m going to start saving so I can get these headers! 🔥🔥 keep up the good work 🤙🏼
Did you save enough for maintenance and headers ?
@@zureai not yet bro! I started a new job that is consuming all my time and energy. Will plan to do it sooner or later
Hey man you think you can send me the link to same headers u got? I can’t seem to find them so that would be nice if you can send me a link for it.
Thinking about getting headers for my n52, already did the bimmerlabs tune and put a 3 stage intake manifold and silicone intake boot on it. Where did you get your headers from and is it just a plug and play install?
You will want a tune with the headers or else it will run rich. Having run both, AA or the Aliexpress headers have the same quality. Been running over 2 years hard without any cracks. Supersprint is the best though. Pretty much plug n play other than the tune but it'll still run fine
@@bruce_son okay I see, what kind of tune cause I already tuned it with bimmerlabs to a 330 after putting the manifold on.
Cool! Mine looks like that but 08' 323i. AT and muffler delete. M sport style rear bumper with 1 exhaust outlet. I also bought the front b sport bumpers but haven't installed it as i need to find time to leave it to get done cos its my daily. Its winter and dont wanna ride my r6.. Love them e92s!! Especially in black - black sapphire metallic 👍 Oh and what specs are your wheels? I think 19x8.5 et 30 and 19x9.5 et 30 back would be ok im either gonna get your style but in metallic silver/grey or just find M style oem wheels like the f30 style of whichever i havent figured it out yet.
This video is about a year old now, I am running apex 18x9.5 et 35 squared. My color Is the older jet black. The metallic black is much better as it resists scratches and swirls better. I've stopped putting more mods on this car as I have a track car now. This car is pretty well modified for a daily
@@bruce_son nice! Hows that wheel setup and fitment? No need to roll fenders and stuff? And thats what i want ultimately, having a nicely mild simple modded e92 for daily. Thanks for replying 👍😎😇
@@Jason.cbr1000rr This is probably as aggressive as you want to go for a daily, my fronts rubbed a bit/self clearanced and I'm at -3 camber. 17/18x9+30 is probably the sweet spot. The max I ever ran in the rear back then was 18x10.5 +30 on 275/35/18 and it rubbed on dips or if I had more people in the car.
Looking at some aa catless headers. The installation isn’t the problem for me but what I’m concerned about is a check engine light popping on. Did it pop on for you?
without a tune, it will turn on because you got rid of the catalytic converters. You should get a tune anyways, the car will run rich with the headers
@@bruce_son sounds sick af how much did it cost in total with headers + tune
@@pablocortez7131 around 800. I went with bimmerlabs tune but I don't think he's doing tunes anymore
Any drone ? Sounds great, i'm running AA headers and tune, 3sim, afe pro2 intake on a wagon.
absolutely 0 drone with this setup. im a bit sensitive but there was drone with the muffler delete + stock resonator.
@@bruce_son Thanks for the feedback, I'll be on this for sure, edited to say i just scored an m-sport 135i muffler on ebay.
@@bruce_son Muffler delete with headers is definitely a bit much lmao. I had no secondaries either though the couple days I was like that.
@@TheFreakINcontrol I ran with it for a few months but it wasn't too bad since I still had my seondaries
Do you still have your resonator or secondary cat?
Yes stock resonator and stock secondaries
@@bruce_son what headers are you running?
@@seanjones1162 aa headers
You still have the resonator ?
Yup stock resonator
That shit sound tuff champ! Plan on gettin headers on mine I already have res delete muffler delet an second cat what kinda headers are those?
How did you get rid of the lifter ticks?
I have an 07 before the revised lifters, I currently just live with the problem it doesn't do anything
@@bruce_son Oh okay, thank you for replying so quickly!
@@allen9818 yeah no worries, some people will say you need to Rev it to get rid of it, it comes and goes I'm not too worried about it
@@bruce_son Thank you so much!!!
I know 328i’s have a lot of back pressure, do you lose all of it from taking mufflers off? Trying to do something similar to my 328
won't be noticable, sure you can lose a little bit of torque at low end. but it will flow better above the midrange.
The system is already so restricted with all the cats, and then a resonator. Removing just the muffler will be ok 👌
