Installed Berk Street Exhaust

30 03 2013

Of all the things I miss of my old Ferrari 348, the sweet sound of the V8 howl with Tubi exhaust is what I miss the most.

So I decided to add a sports exhaust to the 135i. The installation was pretty straight forward with ramps. Gettin the old exhaust off the rubber hangers was a bear! Using triflow, screwdrivers and lots of pulling and cursing I got it off. Taking off the lower valence on the bumper is a must in my mind to do this.

The Berk exhaust is very well made and easily 20lbs lighter than stock. Sound is good, but maybe a little tame. At redline sounds great though and no drone, so all in all I’m pretty happy.

Installed Alcantara Steering Wheel Trim

I got the BMW original Alcantara trim for my 1 series steering wheel to replace the stock plastic trim. It looks and feels great and makes the interior look that much more sportier.

Hello, World.

Obligatory first post. I’m dating myself I know, but this is how I would accomplish this programming feat if I had to write code today:

main()
{
   printf("Hello, World.\n");
}
