Hey guys,

I am shopping around to change my bmw 5 series, and after testing the new C43 with the optional performance exhaust, I am blown away by the sound it made. I was wondering if the new E43 coming will also be able to be optioned with the Performance exhaust that you can get on the C43.

Thanks

 

Have you seen the new BMW 540i specs at BMW.com?
It should be available for delivery about the same time as the E43.

 

Yeah I saw the specs, but the car didn't really blow me away. Front looks aggressive, but rear is a let down. It is also down in power when compared to the E43 and most likely wont even sound that great. After having a 435i with the M Performance exhaust, it simply cannot compete with the C43 when it comes to sound. I am excited for the M550 they are making, but its a V8 (too much gas consumption) and it will be way more expensive than the E43 most likely.

 

I'd like to see some pricing from BMW. The E43 base price is over $72k. Add at least $10k or more for options.
