Heyyyyyy, that's right down the street from my house where my very own 540i is parked. Crazy. Mine isn't straight piped but it's rebuilt from the ground up. Mine's also an auto, so I hope I get to drag race you Maybe I'll see you pull up beside me at a light one of these days
how reliable is it...im thinking about getting one not as a main car have you had many problems with it if so how many miles do you have and how much have you had to spend on it btw your car sounds great
mustang4life I'll be honest.. the Car is great but when something breaks it does cost a lot just for simple things like all of the plastic buttons, clips etc. but the car always ran like a top, at around 200k miles when this video was recorded.
Yes but that is for MY BMW, so your car may differ as that was what worked for me. Some people complain about back pressure and blah blah blah but do what you like and make it work. And nothing detrimental happened to the car besides running a little rich, witch can be fixed.
Remember, these kind of cars get driven really hard by their owners. Remember to make sure you're not buying a zombie. And most important of all, if you do buy a zombie, don't blame the brand blame your incompetence as a buyer. But yes, they're not the most reliable cars in the world. It's not a luxury stripped Honda with nothing to break on it. There will be some up-keep.
Bogdan7a you won't lose anything, it's just pipes going straight from the engine without resonator or muffler, just think about it...that's why it's called straight pipe.
ILLYA BMXER you’re dumb. The big muffler creates back pressure which creates lowend tq. I’ve dyno’ straight pipe vs full super sprint exhaust with muffler and high flow cats. Obviously the SS added 15+ hp and 21tq the straight pipe lost 6% tq and 0 HP.
dangelo ross yes, to get rid of it I had to extend the O2 sensor bung hole to make put the o2sensor further away from the exhaust fumes so it ran properly with no check engine light.
nice ride, nice sound. but dude, don't hold the gear stick like that. by doing that you are greatly increasing wear and tear on the bushings etcc. very bad
5 years later and still sounding great on UA-cam 👍🏼
The sound doesn’t change throughout the years I guess.
I literally bought one because of this video
Me too
Me too
Me too
How much Kilometers can it run?
@@senfxd2881 Its a old bmw so probably 140-160Mph
My dream car and my favorite band 😁
LOL, the way how he holds the steering wheel at 0:26 :D
I like how instead of holding it right he holds it like an idiot thinking hes Dom Torreto
Welp.... looks like I got straight pipe my 540 now.
Jesse B you won't regret it
It was the best decision of my life. I was told my blue e39 6 speed sounded like a dragon
It sounds almost this good with stock headers and cats, the muffler shop was to afraid of epa to cut off my cats
Where do you live, that this is allowed? Wtf
@@polemisch1046 its allowed in texas if you live in a county with no emissions
my heart rests when I listened to those voices I was close to not falling into a trance
Shouldn’t hold your hand on the shifter like that. Straight piped sounds nice though...got a damn fix it ticket in ca for it
A manual car in USA? Nice! And the exhaust sounds great
great
That pull though!
bmw manual v8 so nice
I miss mine😭
0:30 wtf?
Was thinking the same, the fuck is he doing with his hand hahaha
aye another 540 in chesapeake sick

Which car was faster auto. Or manual?
I wanna buy one but I’m to dam young
Do you have any more videos of this car? Looking to do the same to mine
I love the car man. Do you still have it? How reliable is it?
I got the 4,6l version of it and I can say it’s reliable but the vanos hit u in the face I pay for 2 vanos ca.6.917€=8.054$
@@Skygaming_44 to bad
I rebuilt my vanos myself less than $1000 for the tools and parts needed and a weekend of work

Marcus Blake ohhh cool thanks so running wise it runs good it's just like the electronics and like the little things?

I want to make my 540i straight pipe as well but I'm worried about the loss of power/torque. Can you tell me how much that is? Thank you !

Did you just get rid of your mufflers, res, and cats? Please respond ASAP! Thanks
Matt Weaves crap sorry man just saw this, but yea everything is gone just a good ole pipe from headers back.
HAHAHAHAa I hope guy wasn't at the shop, trying to make a decision about what to cut, with a mechanic behind him waiting for orders for... 6 months XD
KubaMCCU lol yea I know I was like.... Crap...
Marcus Blake very nice...it sounds amazing and you shaved about 150lbs of unnecessary metal between the muffler and the y-resonator
I need one in my life right now. Are they reliable tho?
I like revving my hyundai accent at under passes too..makes my car sound louder☺️
Why aren't you wearing any socks or shoes!?!?!?
Baltasar Leví Elíasson VA beach man. No one does ;)
always drive barefoot, best feel
Yo u in vb we need to cruise dude I have a e36 96
Brent Benoit yea I am but I sold it a while back!! Baby on the way!
Manual ;D hard to find with that engine
u driving bare foot? :D
Sounds amazing but it looks like it moves quite slow. Or maybe is the camera angle! Anyway nice car !
Any check engine light?
dangelo ross yes, to get rid of it I had to extend the O2 sensor bung hole to make put the o2sensor further away from the exhaust fumes so it ran properly with no check engine light.
@@AlvlUpSavedMyLife so will it pass emissions that way?
@@AlvlUpSavedMyLife did you put them on just the rear ones or the ones before the cats too ?
Blink-182 :)
😮😮😮😮❤❤
Przy obecnej cenie Pb 95 tylko odcinać..heh
is this a tune as well?
h i nope
I have never seen a worse stereo adapter than this.
Lautaro Tejedor omg I know right! I hated that thing.
does this drone?
Yea a little bit I’m certain RPM’s, but I have been in much worse. It was completely fine with windows up.
nice ride, nice sound. but dude, don't hold the gear stick like that. by doing that you are greatly increasing wear and tear on the bushings etcc. very bad
Its not GREATLY increasing wear, it causes minimal wear on the long term.
@@ch4rg3r..47 compared to how it wears down normally, yes you can call it greatly
Sure, skip to 5th, fuck that synchro.
540i 🙂
Why the fuck is the whole screen twisting and bending
budro to much torque xD
Please shut off audio before. Thanks
