It has a note like a fighter jet 8)

And for the person who said m52's don't come close,, your off ya friggin head mate! I liked the rasp of my m20b20 at around 4500rpm but that doesn't come close to the sound of my 52 through the pipe I've had made.

Its perfection 8)
Im with you mate!
My M52 sounds awesome with its twin 50mm stainless and ITG filter :P

Only in car of mine, but you can barely hear it (£10 mini DV cam). Move the video on to about 2m30 and watch me get served by Dan :)

I think the M30 is the nicest sound when you are driving, no need for a stereo

Gotta love the E30 M3 with CF airbox and unichip @ 8000rpm haha.. anyway, Playo's old car, now belongs to Warren (fourmotion) Few videos of it on his youtube account :D



And after an engine rebuild and another remap by me. Can't believe this is over 2 years ago now :(

Do you normally drive like this or had you taken some 'I'm going to act like a c**k medicine'?
ok, hands up, i have done this before, and as mentioned so have most at some point......but good advice re: seeing "index number"...get rid of it before you get done mate. there might even be some coppers on the zone 8O

i would be upset if anyone thought i'd ever acted like a "c*ck medicine" though, although that sounds pretty funny :wink:

btw, wheres the "BMW spend millions on R&D..." lot?
