Hey all. Came across this, thought I'd share. Enjoy. Remember 720p and full-screen.

I am willing to trade several organs for a dark grey one of these.

 

Such a beautiful beast. I want one in Black Sapphire.

 

Muffler delete ASAP. Seriously, mufflers should be an additional option for these cars.

 

I think there should be an option to turn off the Active Sound Design system. Or just pipe in actual engine noise instead of a digital soundtrack.

That being said, the car will need WAY more than a muffler delete to sound good INSIDE the car. A friend of mine who works for BMW said he drove one with the fuse pulled for the Active Sound Design system, and the car was dead quiet inside. So sad considering the E60 had such a fantastic engine note.

Great video though!

 

I spent some time in a 1er coupe some years ago, and you could set how many times the indicators should flash when you were signalling lane change, so I'd be kind of surprised if turning off the ASD isn't an option.
On the subject of the real sound, Akrapovic have already been at work:

Very cool video. Can't wait til they come stateside!
