Upgrading my "new" BMW F80 M3. then testing it out.

I bought this 2018 BMW F80 M3, it was a wrecked auction rebuild that came with some problems, but it was cheap, so I fixed those, did some mild upgrades, but now I'm doing the one I never thought I would. A full Titanium exhaust... Once it's installed we give it a proper test by road tripping it 10 hours, and testing it in the mountains at the Tail of the Dragon!

Just wanted to comment and say I personally noticed and really appreciate the cinematic looking shots you put in in the beginning of the video. I know it's a lot of work for only a few dozen seconds but it adds a lot to your videos on top of everything you already record and do. Keep up the great work man, I love every video you put out.

[@rumrunner5853]

Well I did a thing an bought a 2018 AMG C43! Not as powerful or quite the driver experience as the M3 but its been a blast! I noticed how my iRacing skills transferred to this car! Like cornering, driving a real car I feel the weight and momentum shift and just bang through a corner!! I think cornering is more fun in this thing than hammering it on a strait away! I really want to go to road course and I'm sure there is at least one in the DFW area!

[@theangrymarmot8336]

At :20 seconds in - before the camera refocuses - awesome. Then from 24-27 or so seconds. Perfect. Lol. That exhaust branding and the color of the logos takes me right back to watching the Turner e36s battling it out in the "Speedvision" racing series in the late 90s/2000s. The Turner BMWs along with the Realtime Integra Type-Rs were so fun to watch.

Ah Taylor great video, I saw the exhaust leaning on the wall in Chelsea DeNofa's shop tour video and had my finger crossed for this. Great choice and excellent execution as always!

[@alexmalatanos4845]

As someone who went to the dragon for the first time this past summer, I am completely hooked and am currently building my car in the off season for it specifically. I completely understand the lust for this type of car! Great work and congrats on everything coming together on the car!

[@FlipnKraut]

The big problem with the S55 exhaust sound is that the headers aren’t equal. Like 2 years ago there was a lot of R&D into figuring out how to equalize the pipes before they merged and turns out that it makes it 100x better. Look into the Active Autowerke equal length mid pipe. It’s waaaaay better than any of the “normal” aftermarket exhausts that are available. It costs way more, but once you look at the fab work needed, you’ll understand why.

[@MistaaFrosty]

yeah i agree his exhaust isn’t a full equal length exhaust.

[@MikeyG003]

Equal length is a must on the s55

daaaaamn taylor you upped the production quality. looks great

[@dzzope]

Personally love induction noise, I think I'd have made that louder before the exhaust XD Looks like a neat setup though. hope you enjoy it :)

[@Joebobinator]

Induction noise is great cause it sounds good without pissing off the neighbors, but I guess that's less of a problem with his fancy valve system lol. I'm the same way though, I'd rather listen to the engine itself than the exhaust blast, but of course it still needs a little brap brap

I finally made it to the tail of the dragon in my r56 mini this past summer and it was amazing. Wasn’t on an ideal tire set up and also destroyed my alternator belt at the very end. Had to casually drive it back out of the mountains for about 40 minutes or so till I ran out of battery and had phone service to call for help.

[@pieterv6984]

I love the recent edit style with the intro´s, in-between car movements (for lack of a better word) and the different camera focus (depth? how do you call that). Anyway, also the people that know nothing about editing it was noticed and appreciated.

[@CMgraffix]

intro cinematography is nice

[@bigtperk]

If you struggle with exhaust hangers I would recommend the lisle 38350 plyers. No more fighting them trying to get a pry bar to push at the right angle. With the plyers you don't even have to spray any lubricant on them.

when you use the bath scale, just reset the weight. Start it and stand on it when it starts then it sets the weight to zero with you on it. Then just hold the items in your hand and you dont have to subtract your own weight.

[@tjgreen4417]

Hey Taylor next time you have to weigh something with 1 scale like that. Just weigh yourself 1st, then stand on the scale holding each piece. Then anything over your weight is your answer. I've had to do it myself a couple times to check things, works pretty good.

[@micahnuckols5046]

I don't know if you have a diagnostic tool that will hook up to the bmw diagnostic port, but you should check for adaptations and reset them. At least on the obd2 90's models they have this and it's good to reset them every once in a while because the car adapts to how you drive and if you do some sort of upgrade or even much needed maintenance that was inhibiting performance it can relearn how you will be driving. The one I have is a Schwaben. It's a lot cheaper than the official ones, but handy.

[@cloucks1003]
