540i: Resonator/Muffler delete.

Just noticed something. If you cut off the dead end, don't you lose an exhaust hanger?

[rampelsauce]

Yeah.  I'd have to figure out a bracket.

Nothing a welder and a grinder couldn't solve.

Doesn't the A in i/A stand for North American model and not automatic? Every e30 I've had except for the euro car had that on the door tag and they all were 5-speeds.

Found this on Bimmerforums:

"We have been over this a few times. Pre-1991 or so, every American BMW had "525i/A". Then they changed it to 525i for manual and 525iA for auto, and that's how it is today.

If you see someone list a car as 525iA that means auto, nobody uses it to say American. 525iM is not official term for a manual but makes sense as the counterpart of the "A" suffix."

So I think I need to build a m60 e30 this next year. 

2015 goals! I think it would be such a fun daily.

S63 E30's are better.

Has that ever been done?

When's the 540 party?  I might just have to do my exhaust mods before then.

[BMWben]

Well as long as my car is out of the shop by Tuesday I'll be home sometime Wednesday or Thursday so we can plan this thing out.

Would I still be allowed with my 525?

So we're getting together on the 28th for beer and exhaust cutting of epic proportions.  I'm bringing a welder and grinder and possibly a growler or two.
