holy cow.

not real fond of that tinny exhaust note (have never heard an e46m3, even with a super aggressive aftermarket exhaust that i liked).

but that car looks really fluid and has great body control.

me likey.

Dinan E46 M3 exhaust.

Having heard it in person (in and out of car) multiple times when the car was driven very aggressively. Not very subtle out of the car. But no more tinny silverware-in-blender noise.

I have one and love the sound, especially from inside, which is really the only thing that matters.

the exhaust i saw and heard was on an e46m3 festooned liberally with TurnerMotorsport stickers. so it probably wasn't Dinan. 'prolly Supersprint. you're right. decreased the tinny sound. it sounded more like a hoarse honda civic with a Mugen exhaust played through a megaphone.

i could easily get over that, though, if the M coupe drives well.
