Here's my 323i with a highline tuning catback. it was prettty tough to install, but I think it sounds pretty good.
Sorry for the quick drive, I'll put more up when im back from school.
330i Highline Tuning catback with ebay headers
This is the Highline Tuning full catback system with ebay headers installed on my 2005 330i ZHP. First run is shifting at 2500 RPMs and the last run is at full throttle to redline in 1st and 2nd gear...The screech to a halt was merely for flare...The revs not under load sound raspier than they really are due to the crappy camera...We had to leave promptly after the filming due to an outraged homeowner swiftly approaching us!

BMW's 1999-on M5 was the car that started the horsepower war in Germany. Before this super-saloon arrived, 400bhp was a virtually unheard of figure for a sports-minded executive saloon to be developing. Once BMW had set the new standard however, a host of imitators appeared with even more power. But more power doesn't mean more desirable. Many still believe this M5 to be the pick of like-minded cars in its sector. Here's our guide to finding yourself the best one possible.
History
Late last century, performance enthusiasts intent on owning the world's finest sports saloon had been waiting with bated breath for the men at BMW's Dingolfing plant to unleash the latest red-hot M-Power version of the 5 Series, and in March 1999, the wait proved well worth it. With 400bhp and a V8 engine, the M5 rewrote the rules on what defined a premier league performance saloon. At a few pounds shy of £60,000 it certainly wasn't cheap, but judged on any objective basis, the M5 was quite simply the best car there was. Many would argue it still is.
BMW made a number of cosmetic changes for the 2001 model year. Pay attention and you'd spot body-coloured rubbing strips, round fog lights and a redesigned front spoiler. The headlights were now of the fashionable clear lens variety and the indicator lamps became round. To help some of the M5 magic trickle down through the rest of the range, that model's wider chrome grille surround were found on all variants. The interior benefited from a few tweaks as well. A revised range of options were also available, including a Mini Disc system, a voice-controlled telephone and a larger television screen.
Opinion
There aren't too many surprises with a 5 Series. You know it's going to be beautifully built, great to drive, understated and well equipped -- and the BMW M5 is no exception. Once upon a time, for supercar performance, you had to buy a supercar. A cramped coupe in other words, with hardly enough space for a change of clothes in the boot. Then along came the M5.
Launched in 1984, this was the first of a new breed of super saloon - the ultimate 'Q Car'. No stripes or spoilers. In fact nothing to indicate that this one and three quarter tonne family four-door could out-accelerate (and arguably out-handle) a Porsche 911. Not surprisingly, the concept caught on amongst the shy but successful. As sales increased, so did the power on offer - from 286bhp to 315bhp and 340bhp by the time production stopped in 1995. After that, BMW abandoned the super-saloon market to Mercedes and Jaguar, hoping that their V8-powered 540i would keep them in with a shout. It didn't.
Which is why this M5 does the job properly. Under the bonnet lies one of the most powerful engines ever to be fitted to a production car of any kind. It's a 32-valve, quad overhead camshaft 5.0-litre V8 crafted from Alusil - a lightweight aluminium-silicon alloy. The output is an awesome 400bhp - 40% more than the already rapid 540i.
Not that the neighbours would ever suspect. In true M5 tradition, the current model is discreet to the point of anonymity. A subtle front airdam, a tiny boot spoiler, gorgeous alloy wheels, clear indicator lenses, quad Exhaust pipes and a small boot badge are the only giveaways. Inside, it's the same. You could be at the wheel of a well-specified 530d were it not for the chrome surrounds of the instruments with their red needles and little touches like the M gearknob which glows red at night. There's even a tyre pressure monitor.
Cost
Prices for the M5 were hit by BMW's decision in late 2000 to cut many of their prices, the M5 falling from £63,000 down to a bargain £55,000. As such, early cars can be found for a scarcely credible £15,000 on a 1999 T plate rising to around £29,900 for a 03-plated model. The M5 proposition is otherwise refreshingly simple. No special edition models, no go-faster variants, no Touring estate version and no flim-flam. Insurance is, predictably, Group 20.
Problems?
Very little goes wrong with the M5. The oil temperature gauge incorporated into the rev counter reminds users not to thrash the car from cold and most who buy these cars are knowledgeable types in any case. The black chromed alloy wheels are hideously prone to kerbing and it's worth taking a good look at them for damage. When paying this sort of money you should expect the best and negotiate big discounts for tired interiors or less than cosmetically perfect bodywork. Avoid aftermarket accessories as these will dent the resale value and check for crash damage and that it is clear of outstanding finance.

bmw 323ci supercharger 264hp/ 331Nm dynorun
In this video we we're doing the final Dynoruns for one of our standard bolt-on Superchargerkits on an M52TU engine. The car is a 323Ci with only an open Exhaust for the rest completely stock running at 6psi Boost. The Superchargerkit on this car is one of our standard packages including a Raptor V Supercharger.
These stock engines produce around 170hp / 240Nm and the result after tuning was 264hp / 331Nm so a power gain of 94hp and 91Nm on a stock engine!
Due to moving to a larger location the Dyno has been temporarily set-up so my apologies for the mess around it.

In dit fragment wordt een van de laatste Dynoruns gedaan tijdens de afstelling van een van onze standaard Raptor V Superchargersets op een BMW E46 323Ci. De set is volledig bolt-on zonder dat er aanpassingen nodig zijn aan het motorblok. Onder deze auto zat voor de installatie al een open uitlaat.
Het standaard vermogen van deze auto's bedraagt 170pk / 240Nm, na installatie is het vermogen gestegen tot 264pk en het koppel naar 331Nm!
Vanwege de verhuizing is de rollenbank tijdelijk wat rommelig opgezet, onze excuses hiervoor.
