Why Custom BMW Parts Are Worth Breaking The Bank



Everyone knows owning a German-made car, let alone a BMW, isn’t the most inexpensive thing to own in the entire world. However, there are just some things that are worth breaking the bank for. Custom BMW parts would definitely be one of them and here are five reasons why.

5) Feel


One of the most important elements of a BMW, in the eyes of enthusiasts, is its ability to handle better than a large percentage of other mass-produced cars. There is something about the “feel” of a BMW that will have you addicted the moment you go hard in to a turn. This glorious feeling is only compounded when custom BMW parts are installed to improve performance.

4) Torque

Straight-6 cylinder engines that have always been favored by BMW, naturally create more torque than a 90-degree V-6. But, who ever said you couldn’t have enough torque. Upgrading the performance of your BMW is totally worth breaking the bank when torque is involved. More torque just means better burnouts, crisper drifts, and faster acceleration. 

3) Horsepower

Just as with torque, BMW has never been shy about getting as much horsepower out of their engines as possible without sacrificing reliability. Yes, realistically adding horsepower does have a dollar figure, however, ask anyone into cars – adding horsepower is priceless, hence why it is completely acceptable to break the bank when adding horsepower to your BMW.

2) Sound

Although the sound of your BMW won’t help you win any races or car shows, it will surely turn heads if an aftermarket BMW exhaust has been installed. The sound of a BMW inline 6-cylinder is one of the most recognizable exhaust notes besides maybe a 10-cylinder Ferrari or the Lexus LFA. There have even been rumors of a dating site for BMW owners where you decide who you want to talk to based-on the sound of their custom BMW exhaust.

1)   Passion

The number one reason it is perfectly fine breaking the bank for custom BMW parts – passion. There are some people that go their whole lives without being truly passionate about anything. One thing is for sure, these people are not BMW owners. To own a BMW you have to have a certain level of passion for what is the Ultimate Driving Machine.

7 Important Features to Compare When Buying A Quality BMW Exhaust

People buy aftermarket or custom BMW exhausts for any number of reasons. Some for the sound, others for the name. However, most people aren’t aware that they should examine more than just one or two features of the exhaust they’re looking to purchase. That’s why I’ve compiled these seven important features to use when comparing exhaust options.

Improved Performance

There is no point in scrapping the restrictive, factory BMW exhaust for something custom or aftermarket if performance isn’t improved upon. That is why it is wise to shop around for exhausts that will enhance horsepower and torque numbers as much as possible.

Better Exhaust Flow

Generally speaking, the better and exhaust flows – the more performance can be improved upon. Granted there are situations where an exhaust can flow too well, causing the BMW to run less efficiently and starving for power. When it comes to exhaust flow, it’s best to find something that is larger than the factory exhaust, yet not so big that a small animal can crawl up there.

Sound Quality

Everyone has their own taste when it comes to exhausts. However, it is important to remember that it’s probably not a good idea to purchase an exhaust that will immediately notify the entire neighborhood every time the car is started because it’s so loud. Deciding on an exhaust that is nice and quiet at idle is only half the battle. It needs to have the potential to make your ears “gasm” at the top of the power band.

Drivability

Sometimes an exhaust may sound exceptional at idle, but once it’s opened up it may have a really annoying drone that seems to linger with you for the rest of the day. This is why it is important to check buyer reviews to see if they have experienced this “droning” noise that can drive a sane man mad.


Installation Difficulty Level

If the exhaust you have your mind set on can’t be installed without the use of a saw, welder and some experience…keep searching for something more suitable to your skill level.

Appearance

Let’s be honest, more people buy an exhaust for the sound rather than the looks – but I’m not here to judge. If it looks half as good as it sounds, you’re on the right track to find that BMW exhaust you’ve been looking for.

Price

Unfortunately, when all is said and done, none of the above features matter if the price of the exhaust rivals how much Floyd Mayweather makes in just one round of a boxing match. The perfect BMW exhaust is one that is a collaboration of everything that has been mentioned, with a reasonable price to match.

This Is Why BMW 335i Performance Parts Are So Amazing


    What it is about modifying and upgrading a BMW 335i thathas such a mass appeal– the world will never know. It could the fact that a 335i has the ideal blend of luxury and performance most people who can’t afford an M3 are looking for. Maybe it’s the misconception that owning a luxury brand automobile adds a sense of “sex appeal.” Or, could it be the fact that BMW 335i Performance Parts are so damn amazing? Between you, I and the guy at the corner store – it’s the performance parts that make upgrading a 335i so attractive and this is why.

It’s Still Not An ///M3

As much as it may hurt some feelings – the 335i is not, nor will it ever be a legendary M3. However, with a little cash and some help from your favorite supplier of aftermarket BMW 335i performance parts, it will be darn close. That being said, there is no shame in owning a 335i. Hell, there is a large number of misinformed females (generally speaking of course) that have no clue you own the little brother to the best car ever made. All they know is you own a BMW…so you must be loaded - which bring us to the next point.

They Want Your Money, Not You

I hate saying this, but unfortunately it is true in today’s society. Women see a luxury brand car and they instantly believe the owner must have some sort of money. Sorry ladies, most of the time it’s the exact opposite. Maintaining these lovely German works of art can be quite costly. This is why it’s never a good idea to buy a car just to impress the opposite sex. Instead, buy the car for personal reasons – then make a ridiculous amount of upgrades to impress the opposite sex. It’s true…see below.

Performance Parts Make Everything Better

There has never been a bad day, in the history of bad days, which can continue to suck if there are performance parts involved. Even a childhood pet dying, bedroom mirror breaking, shoelace snapping, getting a flat tire on the way to work kind of day can turn bright once that BMW 335i gets to play with performance parts.

Conclusion

Hopefully now you can fully understand how awesome BMW 335iperformance parts truly are. They will get you closer to the car you would like to have, show the ladies what performance is really about, all while making you feel like a kid in the candy store every single day you get behind the wheel.
