Muffler options for an M20 E34?

Previous owner did a muffler delete and although it sounds great, it's too loud and the droning in the cabin gives me headaches on long drives.

There's a complete exhaust from an M54 E46 spitting distance up the road but I'm sure I can track down my stock equivalent if I tried.

Is it even worth getting a nice aftermarket can for an engine not worth showing off at all?

My first Bmw. E46. 108k mileage. I LOVE the way it drives. I don't think I'll ever go back to American.

Just get a universal that fits in the hole have a muffler shop weld it up for you.

Should i sell my 318Ti.
>Seemed fine, PO put some new cooling parts, new brakes/rotors, paint in really good condition, low miles 108k
>Drive it for a month, suddenly start getting cooling issues. Realize a water hose in the back is loose spewing coolant.

Tightened it up and drove it for a bit, the temp gauge seems stable, but coolant was again about an inch under kalt line.
>Going out the country for 2 weeks and immediately starting a new full time job.

There goes my time, not like i had space to work on it anyway.
>Can't afford a new car, enough school debt as is
>Tired of getting burnt on cl, my 2nd used bmw that's shitting itself.
>Still want dat dere bmw.

Always dream big and end up getting crushed. Pic no related.

Ugh, EML and ASC light came on. Is it really as simple as cleaning the throttle body?

What scanners does /bmw/ use?

Just a simple swap to rip up the streets. Not out here to beat records.

But also live in Nazifornia so getting that shit street legal is pretty much a waste of time and money.

Service manual and try bleed the cooling system.

Have the same problem, small coolant leak on my ti coming from behind the engine. It's just a small plastic pipe between the engine and the firewall that's the problem, but having to take off the manifold and work by feel has been making me put off the fix. I'm just topping my coolant up weekly until I can find the time to fix it.

Should I buy this 330 i?

Test drove it today and was awesome, zero complaints about the car.
Don't like the interior but will get used to it I guess.
All about the driving experience/fun.


Shall I pull the trigger?

Went from 245 to 255 up front on the M3.

From BS Potenza RE050A Scuderia's to S04 Pole Positions.

Night and day difference.

100% accurate and stable front end now. Never knew the importance of it when you push. So much more stable when you come hard out of corners.
