Making His F80 M3 Sound Good: Phil’s Story
The BMW F80 M3 is an ideal blend of comfort and convenient usage. This vehicle certainly remains consistent to the reputation of its manufacturer as it offers satisfying handling and a superior execution. Although sometimes it may miss the mark, most times they successfully hit the goal.
Phil from Drift Works is exasperated and frustrated with the configuration of his sports sedan. On his current video, he’s persisting to better the sound from his BMW F80 M3; feeling uncertain about the prospects of success.
Despite standard issues associated with the S55 motor, Bimmer Merch claims it offers a considerable amount of versatility in the set-up. Phil’s main conundrum with his S55 is the noise it makes, and he discusses the difficulty in finding an exhaust that satisfies his standards of sound. He states that many have likened it to a Toyota JZ engine, though this isn’t something he concurs with.
Phil has a plan to ameliorate the condition – installing a cost-effective 3.5-inch mid-pipe kit that he acquired for his M3. His motivation is both due to a lack of time and an aversion to expend vast quantities of money on higher quality selections, particularly if these turn out to be ineffective. He intends to keep attempting different exhaust system adaptations until he obtains the desired result.
Phil provides his audience with an overview of the latest adaptations to the exhaust system of his BMW F80 M3. He elucidates the process involved in reshaping the periphery of the exhaust pipe and truncating the nut on the mid-pipe for aiding in gaining better ground clearance.
He explains that upon gaining the car, one of his initial steps was to strip off the audio playing via the Bimmer code app. Subsequently, he remapped the engine with MHD’s app which resulted in a stage 2 plus map that eradicated any overrun noise, consequently resulting in a considerable enhancement in the sound of the exhaust.
Phil addresses that he likes to drive his F80 M3 in a productive state seeing as he feels it has the suitable measure of power for cruising. He merely changes to an even louder experience when wished for. Even though he’s not totally content with it yet, he supposes that commencing off with a good-sounding exhaust system and building on that has done some notable progress.
Drawing its roots from the German automotive giant, BMW, drifting has become a popular motorsport activity around the world. It can be traced to the late 1970s Japan, initially popularised by greats like youtuber Drift Works, where street racers were challenged to control their cars in the corners – while also causing them to break traction and slide – in order to gain maximum speed without crashing.Today, the practice of ‘drifting’ is increasingly beloved by long-time BMW owners and lovers alike. Drifting helps to unleash an otherwise suppressed power found within the coveted BMW configuration. By leveraging this power, enthusiasts are able to customise and experience the intense dynamics of their vehicles, pushing them to new limits on the racing track.Moreover, enthusiasts and DIYers benefit from the rise of third-party applications such as Bimmermerch and BimmerCode, which allow for easy calibration and customisation of the iconic BMW. This kind of customisation allows for creative uses of Dynamics & Motorsports technology, enabling drivers to craft their own unique BMW driving experiences. By connecting with fellow drifters through online forums and meetups, drifters can share their configurations and create a community of competitive racers.Tracing its
