Audi puts them on its sideways mounted motor A3.

But, you'll probably get your wish, because BMW has done it on the new sideways mounted motor X1.

symmetry! and i haven't had a car without with symmetry... it's my first... EVER really! also my first 4-banger so I guess that's what I get for being poor and only being able to afford a 428 and not a 435... lol

I love symmetry as well, here´s my 328i with the 335i M Performance muffler. Looks better, sounds better and goes a little bit better

Who´s gonna flame me? An american with a 335i (and a quad-exhaust) that payed almost half of what I did for this one? Well that would just be pathetic. I ordered it debadged from factory, 3.5 years ago when no F31 335i even existed. Anyway, no posing here as I had this mod done for symmetry, haven´t added a pipe just moved one, and to improve sound. Which is exactly what I have achieved and if that hurts any N55 owner then I feel sorry for their low self esteem.

Self-esteem concerns are what driving these cars is about. Good to see Blubaron gave you no hassle on it, maybe that'll be the end of it.

I think the pipes look very nice. I only fire up when a guy throws an ///M badge on the car where it wasn't meant to be.

On a side note, a 335i wagon over here in the States with M Sport and Brit Racing Green would just about be my definition of nirvana....

Oh Yeah! I would love to get ahold of a non Xdrive straight six sport wagon.

Agreed, while they may not look bad from a distance I always get a chuckle when I'm behind one of these cars in traffic and my lights catch the real tailpipe inside the fake one.

Damn that is sexy! F31's look so much better than F30's. I'd love to do that to my wagon. Not sure why some think you'd get flamed, it isn't like you put false badges on your wagon.
