AWE Exhaust on 320i

phdat28 · 06-03-2020, 09:44 AM

Update: Seller will not ship to Cali because of CARB. Cancelled. Instead, I did a muffler delete and catless downpipe instead.

Just purchased!!! I do have 30 days return.

Someone please give me alternative options I could have gone with. Also, your thoughts on the exhaust on a 320.

Thanks.

Sweet, please update with video once installed.

I dont believe there are many 320 specific exhaust options.

snipagang · 06-03-2020, 11:15 AM

I plan on buying this soon as well for my 320i. Would love to see videos of the sound.

Did some additional research, didn't want to have any drone since the vehicle will be my daily driving. So AWE it is. Hopefully, no drone.

DadzBmer_N2o · 06-03-2020, 11:27 AM

This is my custom muff & res delete with magnaflow tip

And this is a take off with the BM3 trans flash

I see, i would have gone that AWE route but couldn't justify the cost and i used that other half for my awesome BM3 tune, lol..

you should look into this...https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1708991

used, mint, the whole cat-back(not just axle-back), it'll be a great price even if you add on shipping.

Hey bro, I have that exact exhaust. Got it on the forum for about 600$ and only cost 120$ to install. I love it. I can answer anything ya need! Only drone I ever had was starting the car in the rain, but it goes away immediately when driving.

Sure thing homie, what would you like?

Car Start

Burbles

This is from my car. Sounds really nice from a launch, and BM3 can adjust the burbles a lot. When I have BM3 off, the car has a nice deep tone to it.

One without bm3 since I don't have it

Steakpizza · 06-04-2020, 04:14 PM

Give me a bit homie I'll see about tonight if I can reflash and grab one.

Did you add a new Intake as well?

Yes sir. Mods:

Injen Intake

VRSF Intercooler

AWE Exhaust

BM3 Stage 1

XHP Trans Tune

XDelete

If you're 320i this should be your performance path. Everything was installed myself besides the exhaust. Everything is hands on, the Intercooler being the hardest (it's just a tight space tbh). I got a 5.3 0-60 with Launch Control but I'm sure I could hit 5.1/5.2 if I adjusted some launch settings/brake boosted.

phdat28 · 06-04-2020, 04:31 PM

I see. You didn't even touch the charge pipe. What's your mileage?

49k. If I ever go Stage 2 then I'm going to do the charge pipe. I don't track my car and rarely drive it hard.

phdat28 · 06-04-2020, 04:36 PM

I got a JB+ for 100 bucks on here. Convince me to get BM3.

JB+ is a great deal for 100$. As far as power they're nearly identical. I noticed when I had JB4 the car would have a jerky power delivery, but with BM3 it's a nice smooth curve. On top of that, you get the ability to customize burbles, startup roar, BM3 trans flash, and constant updates (Granted it's been a month or two for the last N20 update).

I personally wouldn't think BM3 vs JB+ is too much of a difference if at all as far as power delivery. BM3 just has a lot of features and great tech support. I mainly went BM3 because I was able to sell my Jb4 for nearly no loss (and the guy took me out to dinner lol), but I've really enjoyed it.

Actually the power difference is huge if your referring to the JB+ (25-35 ish) vs the BM3 (75 ish). Now if the full JB4 most likey the same HP's with the BM3..

chrisp_f30 · 06-09-2020, 07:15 AM

If you wanted any more advice on this exhaust, I have it as well on my 320iX paired with an ER catless downpipe and BM3. I don't have the burbles on custom, just running the OTS settings because I don't want the loud gun shots.

Let me tell you it turns heads but in a good way. Many other bimmer owners asking me where I got the exhaust from. AWE and ER catless downpipe best sounding pair IMO.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing! Ive been eyeing this exhaust as I feel a muffler delete might be too loud for what im looking for. Car sounds amazing
