We wish to cowl which YouTubers and journalists personal newer M automobiles as a result of it could present numerous inside for followers and clients. Seeing what these YouTubers do with their automobiles can provide house owners concepts of what to do with their very own automobiles, make them conscious of any issues they could face, and even give them some recommendation. The host of AutoTopNL owns a Zanzibar G80 BMW M3, which is without doubt one of the greatest colours we’ve ever seen on a G80, and he’s modded it a bit, as seen on this new video.
A few of the mods embrace an influence improve, which we’ll get to in a minute, and a tire improve. The latter of which is essential due to the present climate. Within the northern hemisphere, we’re heading into autumn and the climate is getting colder, which implies that M3 house owners will want tires extra able to colder temps than the usual Michelin PS4S tires. Nevertheless, as an alternative of getting winter tires, this M3 was fitted with a extra rain-capable summer time tire, the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3.
I truly had Ventus S1 Evo 3s on my outdated B6 Audi A4 Ultrasport and I cherished them, so I used to be wanting to see how they labored on the G80 M3. It’s tire, the Hankook, rated for Autobahn-ready speeds but additionally with spectacular moist traction. My Audi was fairly underpowered and all-wheel drive, so it wasn’t one of the best take a look at of tire grip, however I may put my foot to the ground in something aside from snow and by no means break traction.
This BMW M3 additionally has an engine tune, which bumps energy to 666 horsepower on 98 octane gas, and it additionally has a really particular exhaust improve. Somewhat than changing all the exhaust system, the AutoTopNL host claims that the inventory muffler again field is best than all aftermarket models at lowering vibration and undesirable resonances. So he saved the inventory again field however changed the catalytic converter, downpipe and midpipe. The latter of which is essential as a result of it takes two exhaust outlet pipes and combines them into one, which then runs to the again field. That mixes the exhaust gases, and noise, from each turbochargers, thus altering the sound.
Apparently, he’s tried 5 totally different exhaust setups, from Armytrix to Fi, and he offers a compilation of all of their sounds on this video. And, a lot to my shock, he was proper in regards to the single midpipe. It sounds one of the best by margin, even with the inventory again field. It’s barely deeper in tone and it sounds extra naturally aspirated. That’s kind of the important thing situation with the S58 engine, is that it feels like a boomy turbocharged engine, even with aftermarket exhausts. This, although, makes it sound extra like a conventional free-breathing inline-six. I’m undecided how a single midpipe impacts energy, efficiency, or emissions, but it surely definitely sounds one of the best. See, discovered one thing new.
