The S65 V8 in the E9X M3 offers a fantastic exhaust note, which can be overpowering at times if you have a cat-less setup, or your primary cats deleted. When you pair an exhaust that keeps your cats, or offers a high flow cat system, you’ll be able to hear the induction noise from this plenum at a much louder tone.

With this plenum you’ll end up with a beautiful CSL style noise that becomes intoxicating after getting the plenum installed. Depending on your driving style, you’ll really enjoy hearing your car at high RPM’s where the induction noise really shines.

Our favorite feature about this setup is that you’re able to display the S65 at car shows, gatherings and in photographs in a way that stands out from many others. The gloss carbon fiber finish really stands out in the sunlight and helps this engine bay come to life.

You get the best of both worlds where your driving experience changes, your M3 has a much deeper and throatier sound and it looks absolutely stunning when you pop up your hood.

There’ve been many attempts at making the E9X M3 sound better, but there’s not many who’ve managed to do it as well as Eisenmann. These exhausts are handmade in Germany and give the S65 a stunning sound that isn’t too aggressive, yet brings the M3 to life.

The history of Eisenmann speaks for itself, especially when they’ve designed OEM systems for Porsche and AMG’s.

With this system you can gain up to 16hp and 11lb-ft of torque, which can make a difference on an NA V8. When you start to modify the exhaust note on these cars, you may end up having a car that is violently loud or too much for your liking.

When you link this system to your stock X-Pipe, it won’t be over the top. It’s enough to make you excited to go for that canyon drive or Sunday afternoon cruise without being obnoxious.

Eisenmann offers two versions of this exhaust which includes a race version and sport version. Race will give you a louder note, along with 32% improvement of flow over stock. With the sport version you’ll get a quieter note, but still an improvement of 25% improvement flow over stock.

If you’re looking for a high-quality exhaust system that will give you a nice power increase, more air flow and help wake up that screaming V8, this is the proper setup for you.

When you first take delivery of your M3, it’s most likely going to have orange reflectors on the front bumper. This can be super distracting when you’re taking photos of the car for social media, or you’re just admiring it in the garage. The last thing you want is to have anything that sticks out like sore thumb on your car, so paint matched reflectors can be a great way to improve the look of your car.

The process of buying reflectors from IND is that you’re going to get perfectly paint matched reflectors that won’t look “off” when you install them. Each reflector is hand sanded, primed, painted and cleared. They’re also sealed off for ultimate protection and to stay cleaner for much longer.

Another popular mod that we see often is to have your bumper shaved, but this process takes much more time and effort. That’s why we see our reflector set sell so often due to the ease of installation and how much of a difference it can really make on your car.

All you have to do is browse through the vehicle color choices, find your color and press order. There’s a wide variety of factory colors that will match your paint flawlessly.

Spacers are the one item that many people tend to overlook if they want to keep their OEM wheel setup, or try to achieve better fitment with their aftermarket wheels.

Certain tires and wheels run in different sizes, so you can only hope so much that your fitment will work out when you mount your tires. Sometimes a spacer is all you need to make it look right.
