Jake's Epic BMW 135i Build Thread! (5+ Years of Ownership)

I set mine to medium for 1 second, it's not too long and not too annoying. If I let off above 3.5k, it'll usually pop really loud once then it sounds like a normal decel. Sure, it's a bit artificial but sometimes it’s fun to be a shitfuck and scare people next to you.

I'll probably tone it down eventually. Right now I'm enjoying my new ricer mod.
I like pops and gurgles in an exhaust. This is a little much, I will admit. But it's pretty hilarious going between buildings and sounding like an assault rifle. It gets even louder than shown in this video once the car is hot.

one of the most offensives sounds to my ears that I have ever heard in terms of cars. Turn that shit off. Now.
I don't understand why "snap-crackle-pop" is becoming an actual thing in the community. i saw this stupid shit coming from a new M2 exhaust kit and everyone was like "omg siiiiiiiick this sounds better than e92 m3 omg inline-6 turbo motors 4 lyf brooo our cars sound cool too!!!!"
No. Shut the fuck up stupid shitfucks this sounds like a toy cap gun I played with at the age of 6. It does not sound like a serious car.
My only logical conclusion that I've been able to come to is that because manufacturers are no longer V8'ing All The Things, this is all that people in the enthusiast community have to cling to for sound in an age where cars have recorded engine sounds coming through speakers.
So, I'm not clear, do you like this or not?
I'm not partial either way, but awesome post.

my N55 makes a loud boom and shoots a giant fireball out the exhaust when I shift at WOT. I win.

Hahaha this whole pop thing actually started when somebody on e90 post wanted their n54 to pop like the n55 with the ppk. Then one of the tooners cranked it up to ricer level and made it sound like a popcorn maker.

my n55 has never been poppy but I have cpe exhaust. The ricer level on what these kids are doing is definitely getting dialed up to super-duper now.

Us plebeian's have to settle for manufactured awesome noises.

Mine does this too, ever since installing the BMS NLS relay. It's awesome. Way louder.

Through my crappy headphones at work, it almost sounds like broken chunks of rod and piston being thrown around in the block (aka: STI at 40k miles)

Did you try the beta map?

Which map? I'm using JB4 with a BMS E85 MHD backend flash.

A local guy wanted to race. His car is all done up with upgraded turbos, fueling, etc. It should be capable of 600+whp.
...he was pissed.
-
i mean, he looked kinda big like he has 100 pounds on you, and his car is a bit heavier, but there is no way he's making 600 hp. That would be 100 hp more than you and 200 pounds of weight difference isn't enough to compensate for that much of a difference in power on cars that have identical motor, transmission, gearing, etc.
His car is either tuned like shit or he started in the wrong gear, or he doesn't truly have upgraded turbos. Or he has some stupid sound system in his car weighing him down even more.
I'm sure he was pissed. His facial expression was one of pure frustration. Like JaRule in Fast and Furious "NOOOOOOOOOO! MONICAAAAAA!"

Lol. I know the guy pretty well. We've raced many times, before and after a lot of different mods. It was just funny because he was really running his mouth ever since I went balls out on my stock turbos.
He has upgraded turbos. He has a solid tune (I've seen a few logs). No sound system. We're both good drivers. His car is set up really well actually. He isn't at 600whp, but the car is capable of it with more boost. It should be at 500whp+ right now with his fuel and boost though. He's got headroom where I'm maxed out.
The initial video was the best in my opinion. We booth floored it at the same time and it was just the most fair, even race. I have a few more videos of runs though. Here's one where he brake boosted (I didn't, big difference) and then I reeled him in.
And here's our first race where he started in 3rd at 40mph. I was in 2nd. There was no way he'd catch me.
