What’s up guys? With the release of the 1 Series M spyshots, I remembered that I never introduced to you the Remus exhaust system for the littlest of Bimmers.
To make up for it, I’ll post up some video clips, and not just pictures. Check them out.
The DUPLEX rear silencer system comes with left and right dual tail pipes at 84 mm. No street legal of course.
as with the 335i, if mounting the left and right system, the rear bumper has to be cut. Cut out and instructions are enclosed of course.

Hi guys, I’m here today for an update on our 2005 BMW Z4 3.0. The car currently has 37,000 miles on it and the brake pad light came on the other day. Thinking that it was a great time to upgrade with some aftermarket stuff, I hit the forums in search of some cool products.
The result? I ended up forking out uber dinero for genuine BMW rotors, sensors, and brake pads. Why? It’s a daily freeway driver, and it’s better to be safe than take a chance on some unknown company aftermarket products. You can see the new system in the picture below. Sorry for the dirty rim…
I’m sure you guys know how to bed or break in a new system but here are some quick steps for those who don’t know:
Step 1: Go to a smooth, flat road with no traffic.
Step 2: Accelerate to 30mph.
Step 3: Firmly step on the brakes and allow the vehicle to stop. DO NOT allow the brakes to lock.
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have completed about 20 stops. Allow cooling periods between stops to bed the brakes properly.
What’s up guys? So now that we have exhausts installed on most our staff cars, and growling like ferocious beasts I might add, we are looking into some engine tuning options. After scouring the online forums and stores, I came upon some interesting options to up car performance.
To increase automotive performance and fuel economy, the popular option nowadays is a performance chip. It’s a good idea too, to install an engine chip. It will probably be able to smooth out any choppiness that the Remus exhausts may have added. First up is probably our Z4s. In terms of general fuel economy, they both have the worst MPG. And we have a sneaky suspicion that the performance products we have added did gain more horsepower, but lowered fuel economy.
The 335i has been tuned like crazy across the Bimmer forums. Companies like Vishnu, Dinan, and JB2 have been fighting for the top spot. There are more options for the Z4s, like Ac Schnitzer, Hartge, and Hamman. The Nissan has more options. Check them out at Engine Performance Chip.
Hey guys, here it is as promised. This is a quick video clip of how the new exhausts sound on the 335i. As you can see, the cut on the bumper is a bit rough, but nothing a new lip or kit wouldn’t hide. Check it out!
It’s starting to get deeper in the cabin, but nothing too extreme. The stock exhaust sound was great already but now it sounds like it’s going to hunt and eat M3s for lunch!
What’s going on guys? It’s been a while since we made a modification on the 335i. So, today, we installed a quad exhaust from Remus. Check it out.
Installation was a bit more complicated than most. The reason being the cutting of the rear bumper to accommodate the extra pair of exhaust tips. Since the 335i is bound to be modded some more, we used a simple saw-saw to cut the bumper. We then smoothed out the edges with a heavy duty file. Not too shabby right?
How’s it going guys? The first modification to the E92, is the rims. What you are looking at are the Breyton GSTR wheels in silver. To preserve the gas mileage, we kept the size in 18 inches. What do you guys think?
Unfortunately they are wrapped in cheap ass Continental tires. My god, are they horrible. The steering wheel vibrates at high speeds.
Oh well, with the economy the way it is, mind as well just grit it and use the tires till the next change.
All right, stay tuned guys! Be sure to check out our store!
Hey guys! Interestingly enough the first modification to the M Roadster is not a Remus exhaust system (gasp!). It is actually a TrafficPro navigation system. They normally make systems for Ferrari’s but made a few for BMW a decade ago. Unfortunately the account went to Harmon Karmon, and TrafficPro got stuck with a few hundred BMW badged units. I’m sure if you did a search online, you could still find NIB units for around $400 USD.
The system takes you turn by turn through your car’s speaker system. I have mine set to a female voice with a British accent. Yes, yes, I know. How 007 of me. “The name’s Bond, James Bond.”
Happy New year guys! Just wanted to show you the newest addition to the Lex Racing garage. What we have here is a black 2007 BMW 335i (or E92 for your purists) Coupe in manual transmission. We will be getting started on modding it out immediately. So stay tuned!
Options include standard 18 inch wheels, integrated Bluetooth, and MP3 player capabilities.
What is up guys? This is Alex’s 2005 BMW Z4 3.0i with our Remus exhaust installed. You can see the initial video and sound in our previous post. So, we let the exhaust break in for a few weeks, and I am here today to show you what the exhaust will eventually settled at. Check it out!
All right guys. Stay tuned for more modifications!
