For the F80, nothing compares to Active Autowerke equal length midpipe with non-comp exhaust. Nice, clean sound. No burbles or pops. Proper sound for an M3. I cannot stand the sound of F8Xs that sound like the one in this vid. I love TLG though, so no hate.
thing is.. Competition Package engine has max power at 7000 rpm. Much more high revving engine than without CP (max power at 5500 rpm.. 😖) I prefer no pops too but CP engine is so much better
I think it sounds awesome and I’m sure it’s a blast to drive. I’d love to hear the version of inside the cabin. The bumper mic keeps tricking my brain.
Sounds deep and throaty, i dig it. People have to understand your mic is on the rear bumper. Its going to sound..."excessive" lol. Youre going to have to change your intro now with the new exhaust.
Already working on the intro :) And yes totally agree on the understanding that the microphone is on the bumper. If the car sounded like this inside I would go nuts !!
Great video TLG! I love the sound of the single midpipe. I’m running the VRSF downpipes and single midpipe. I found that the bootmod3 time with 1 second burble duration and level 3 aggression sounds really good!
Good video car sounds good. Is the mic connected directly to your camera or do you upload the Audio to the video while editing? I want to do something like this thanks!
Seriously who are these people who dislike this video? Tommy do you get vibrations in the back in sport or sport plus with hard acceleration? I do get them a bit... seems to come on the exhaust area..
Tommy L Garage I do have the AA brace that is curved around the middle and after installation I had good clearance. I’ll check anyway this weekend. Thanks
Hey Tommy! Your car sounds great! I have vrsf catless downpipe ➕stock midpipe➕akrapovic muffler on my car now.After watching ur video,I really want to get aa mid pipe now.Do you think the non-res eq mid pipe will be too loud with my downpipe?or should I get resonated one?
Hey Tommy!, I told you before that you should get Akrapovic( or Remus) on one of your previous video!!! Glad that you got it and happy with it. Certainly sounds great!!!
@@TommyLGarage well, I only get the smell when windows are down. If not there's none. But the sound is amazing. I'm going to unlock the ECU to install BM3 next week. Let's see...
@@TommyLGarage you drive I lots of traffic or underground parking? I don't find it bad compared to my deleted diesel truck. Spool noise at low rpm is 💦💦
Two answers. First, I’ve been working from home lately so I don’t have an issue with that ha ha. Second, the cold start is actually quieter than stock with the valves closed.
Honestly, it sounds good and better than AA+ a stock rear muffler, however, the slight improvement does not worth $4000 to do so. I can reserve this money for a set of Dinan carbon air intake plus two full sets of Michelin pilot sport 4S..
iv seen other videos of valvetronic designs. they actually sound pretty good. look them up. they use an f80 and is equal length. im buying their exhaust from them soon.
Big fan Tommy, but I have an F80 ZCP with BM3 and it sounds much better than this setup you have going on. IMO, it sounds to Ricer. Dial down the burbles in the BM3 unless that's your kind of thing.
Tommy, I liked your previous one better, a lot better actually. This one sounds kind of like a truck - just being honest but as long as you like it then that’s all that matters 🤟
@@TommyLGarage Yes that was made clear. [Edit] looked up other M3's with the F80 for cold start/ flyby. Still doesn't work for me. I'm sure some of my mods weren't enjoyed by everyone either.
If there ever was a car that NEEDED an LS swap, this is it. Too bad the E46 and E92 motors are gone. For the turbo 6 in the M products has sounded like crap since day 1.
ugh way too boy racer with the excessive pops... love the backfiring when getting on it, but this is dumb and too much just cruising ant slowly and popping like crazy.

And yes, equal lenth exhaust sounds the best for sure
@@jortepap Same Engine Bro
In Africa, Zambia (My country) that's 'Music to my ears' awesome!!
Thanks brother !
For a daily driver that would drive me insane!
It’s not like this in the cabin. The microphone is on the bumper
+ no burble in comfort mode
+ valve is open
I think it sounds awesome and I’m sure it’s a blast to drive. I’d love to hear the version of inside the cabin. The bumper mic keeps tricking my brain.
I will record in car video soon.
Love the manual 😍

Great video TLG! I love the sound of the single midpipe. I’m running the VRSF downpipes and single midpipe. I found that the bootmod3 time with 1 second burble duration and level 3 aggression sounds really good!
I might give it a try. Thanks !!
I play this at night to lull me to sleep 🚙😴
You sure it’s not the rumble ?
Love the Akra’s burble
Me too!!
If farting in a tin can whilst in a giant cave was a sound....the S55 is it.
Haha
That blue start/stop button though! The suble things made a big difference! Looks great and sounds great! :)
Thanks!!!!
Sounds good man, buuuut, I think it would be even better with the equal lenght midpipe
He won't listen!
Would it be bassier or throatier?
@@OwenSithole Cleaner, EQ finally sounds like an inline 6, everything else sounds like 2 3-cyl engines
Facts. There are other vids on yt with it. Sounds incredible
Music to my ears
This is the best sounding s55 👌🏼
Thanks!!!
Respect to the manual 🍻
yeyy!!!
Love it 😊
Thanks! I know a guy who sells them ;)
🤮🤮🤮
Sounds awesome!
Man this sounds insanely nice💥💥💥
Thanks!!!
Love it🔥🔥🔥 still think the simplist most cleanest setup and its cheap is VRSF downpipes and dinan rear exhaust
That’s a good setup too
This setup sounds awesome.
Thanks !!
Good video car sounds good. Is the mic connected directly to your camera or do you upload the Audio to the video while editing? I want to do something like this thanks!
It’s a wireless sennheiser microphone. Microphone with receiver in the trunk
An acropovik GT-R... now that's a symphony
What shift knob is that? I bought an m performance knob for mine and I’m not sure I like it. Too small and stock has a funny angle
Seriously who are these people who dislike this video? Tommy do you get vibrations in the back in sport or sport plus with hard acceleration? I do get them a bit... seems to come on the exhaust area..
Maybe your vibrations come from the cross brace. Add spacers
Tommy L Garage I do have the AA brace that is curved around the middle and after installation I had good clearance. I’ll check anyway this weekend. Thanks
Tommy may i ask why you got the akrapovic instead of the M-performance? Because I saw a comment of you on f80forum you'd choose mpe over akra?
When I heard it in person I fell in love
Sounds really awesome!!
Thanks!
Sounds great!!
Thanks Corey !
Sounds awesome dude!
Thanks Troy !
Bit late but... was it loud? I want this sound but im hoping it's not too quiet.
It was PERFECT
Hey Tommy! Your car sounds great! I have vrsf catless downpipe ➕stock midpipe➕akrapovic muffler on my car now.After watching ur video,I really want to get aa mid pipe now.Do you think the non-res eq mid pipe will be too loud with my downpipe?or should I get resonated one?
I think you should get a single midpipe. It is non resonates. Single midpipes do not come with a resonator
@@TommyLGarage thank you so much for replying🙌So u recommend AA Single midpipe over equal length midpipe?
Hey Tommy random question I am looking to buy a BMW M3 2018 wondering if you can give me your thoughts whether its a good deal a not
Sure. Or buy mine :)
@@TommyLGarage Im interested to see what your offering, send me a direct message
@@matthewm9529 email me at got6speed @ gmail . Com
Hi, If you rate how loud it is out of 10. What is ur rate?
6
This video is still a banger. How different would the akra sound when paired with oem mid pipe?
Thanks! It will sound raspy without the single midpipe
Old post and question, did this setup pass NJ STATE inspection ?
Yes it did!
I think you'll enjoy my burble tune on mine when we get together haha. Sounds great man!
Thanks! Ive come to love burbles
Best sounding S55 by far! Is it a catless downpipe?
No. Oem downpipe
DId the in-cabin engine noise with windows shut improve significantly ? Or is it mostly for the outsiders
Just a bit. But mostly with windows down
How much louder is Akra compared to Comp muffler with AA midpipe?
A bit louder. But also more refined
You should try out the Active Autowerke equal length midpipe with you akrapovic exhaust.
Too raspy
Ive just ordered AA single midpipe to go with Acropovic slip on rear silencer,whats the fit like?do i need anything fabricated?
You’ll need to cut the akra muffler but it’s not a big deal
Thanks for letting me know,booked in next month.
Is this in Cranford NJ? Roads look very similar
Good eye!
Tommy when you install the new infotainment system you loose the backup camera function? I noticed you had only the top view on the split screen
Nope you don’t lose anything. It’s just like getting a bigger tv
3:39 now that's what I call fun🤑😎
God this sounds so good lol
Haha thanks Chirag!
Hey Tommy!, I told you before that you should get Akrapovic( or Remus) on one of your previous video!!! Glad that you got it and happy with it. Certainly sounds great!!!

ua-cam.com/video/uOjcLaqGcW4/v-deo.html
Sounds good
Thanks!
I have this same setup, I cant leave my complex on anything but valves closed and cold start delete or i set off all the alarms.
It’s glorious !
Another great video 👍 I’ll bet your neighbors love you even more now 😉
The thing is, that with colt*delete and valves closed this is quieter than stock.
Good to know. I have an F82 w/ MPE and I’ve been toying with some exhaust mods.
Buying an m4 tonight. Thanks ! Haha
Congrats! You’ll love it
What about Downpipes?
I have AA midpipe with Akra DPs and sounds 👌.
Great video!

@@TommyLGarage Haha, of course. Thank you for letting us see the possibility of premium S55 sound!
Wow.. love it!
Thanks!
Been waiting for this video. The OEM exhaust on my F83 never seems to burble or pop.
Time for a proper muffler :)
Tommy L Garage my mpe doesn’t burble a lot either, stock tune
My F83 comp burbles loads and really cracks when letting off throttle at higher revs. Only a month old so only getting louder
TheLogicprouser, I have the F83 base model. Maybe that's a factor.
Scott J. Parisi ah could be. The comp’s different exhaust and engine map could be the difference
Amazing
Thanks !
After hearing this, I’ve lost all hope in finding a way to make my F80 sound good.
iv seen other videos of valvetronic designs. they actually sound pretty good. look them up. they use an f80 and is equal length. im buying their exhaust from them soon.
Equal length midpipes fix the sound. Pair it to a MPE exhaust and it'll be good.
The Valvetronic Design exhaust will do you so many wonders! I have it on my M4 and it’s a huge game changer.
@Music Roy from someone who’s done it, expect to pay $12k
Search M4/M3 with single turbo.
You won't believe how how diffirent the sound is
curious what would be the diff if you replace single AA with Akra evo mid
It will rasp. Akra midpipe doesn’t enhance the sound much
Sound amazing love it 😍
Thanks!!
I am curious to know which product the mobile phone holder uses.
This: ua-cam.com/video/hyKcgM16Aws/v-deo.html
Anyone know why the price of the m3s are goin up?
Because the new M3 is so ugly
Would the AA equal length mid pipe mount up to this exhaust?
No they would not
@@TommyLGarage Okay thank you
Do you normally keep the rpms that high?
Sometimes.
Can you get this with no burbles?
Yes. Very easy to do
sounds dope bro....
Thanks!!
question is how much did this set up cost
I linked it all in the description.
This has auto rev match right ?
Yes it does
As the comments show, and like anything else - it's a matter of preference.
Agreed !
Would love to see you, kies, or blues clues M3, do an diy of the fuel it stage 4 E85 kit
I’m sure Kies will do it soon
Looks like you were on rte 27 near Wood Ave/Metropark
Or Mexico ? :)
Big fan Tommy, but I have an F80 ZCP with BM3 and it sounds much better than this setup you have going on. IMO, it sounds to Ricer. Dial down the burbles in the BM3 unless that's your kind of thing.
My burbles are oem. They get louder when you have a midpipe
What burble settings do you use? And what map are you on? I have Stg 1 cold start delete and my GTS startup doesn't work
Stage 1 oem burbles. Comp models have quite a lot of burbles
Tommy, I liked your previous one better, a lot better actually. This one sounds kind of like a truck - just being honest but as long as you like it then that’s all that matters 🤟
It sounds better when I will do drive by videos. This one microphone was on the bumper
Do they make this 340i?
Yes they do
Turn down the burbles my dude and it'll sound dope.
It’s oem burbles. I kind of like them
Tommy L Garage damn I could’ve sworn that was bootmod3... that’s insane.
@@TommyLGarage .5 seconds max intensity 👌👌👌 trust me
The burbles are waaaaaay too obnoxious!!! but other that that those it sounds good.. No burbles!
I’ll run some tests without burbles
tommy, what shift knob is that?
MPerformance
Tommy L Garage is it worth getting? My stock shift knob is falling apart 😢
Sounds vicious!
Ooooooo yea!
Sounds glorious. your neighbors are going to love you! BTW just curious, why keep the OEM downpipes?
It’s quiet actually. The microphone location made it super loud
Wow
what did you get from home depot? lol
just some 2x4s ;)
I like performance cars and exhausts. I have an Akrapovic on my Zx6rr that I love, but this sounds like a truck with an exhaust leak.
You know the microphone was right by the tail pipes right?
@@TommyLGarage Yes that was made clear.
[Edit] looked up other M3's with the F80 for cold start/ flyby. Still doesn't work for me. I'm sure some of my mods weren't enjoyed by everyone either.
