Drama

Howzit Fanatics,
After a year and a bit of owning my N55 135i, I finally managed to get the M Performance exhaust done today.
Ordered the box from ABM on Thursday and paid a deposit. Box was delivered on Friday. Got in early this morning and within 45 minutes, it was done. :clapper:
Wasn't too keen on the shiny tips at first but once its on the car, they do look good. (albeit the e series tips do not have the M stamp)
The guy starts the car while I'm eye-balling the back of the car as if its a dude that just bumped me in the club. He starts the car and there's no drama. Then I'm like WTF. He revs and then I hear the diff (although still not completely sold on it.)
Too late now. Pay the balance and get in the car. Driving off, I start to notice the diff. Car sounds louder but not like a Golf 1 with no boxes and cone filter. Its beautiful. Sophisticated. Elegant. Drive a bit more and I notice the car also feels slightly more responsive (Is it just me or has the excitement got to me?!)
The more I drive, the more defined the sound gets. All in all, a great mod (especially if you consider the fact that MP is still in tact)
Now I just gotta wait for next winter to experience a true cold start:cartel:
Oh, one last thing. Inside the arm rest console, I had about R30 in R5 coins. Get to Mcd to buy breakfast and i see it got pinched. Did not expect that.
