Glorious e36 engine sounds

[justinco]

I took the cover off my e36 track car just to start it up for the first time in a while (it usually sits in the winter). While I was at it, I decided to grab some footage of the glorious exhaust note and thought I would share The car has an aFe intake, TMS chip, TMS shorty headers, high flow cat, and Bimmerworld race exhaust with mid-pipe.

Anyone else have a similar setup or other nice sounding BMW's?

idle sounds smooth, revs sound a little too ricey for my taste


my current M3 on cold start (ignore the title, it's an LS, just thought it sounded like a rotary on cold start lol)




old M3 with straight pipes (kind of a love hate sound for most)

Yea, I'm not too fond of the raspy tin-can sound at higher revs. Seems to be pretty common for this exhaust setup.

I am totally jealous of your LS equipped M3 :o Sounds awesome! That is next on my project bucket list, swapping an LS into my e36.

What engine did you go with if you don't mind me asking? (ie: car, year, etc)

Thanks man it's a lot of fun for sure.

Its an LS from an 02 WS6 that only had 30k miles which I later found out it's technically an LS6 block (some WS6's receieved LS1 blocks some LS6) can check by serial #

Trans is a t56 from an 05 GTO, car has an LS7 clutch flywheel, longtubes, cam and tune. So basically cam only.

Nice! There are so many combinations to put together an LS swap, it is kind of over-whelming

Hopefully I can start looking for mine in the fall.
