Interior Noise & Rumble
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Was wondering if anyone has come up with their own way of improving the driver 'spiritual' connection to the engine? I'm thinking of getting Dinan S1 w/ a resonator delete hoping that it will help the cockpit feel. But no one's reviewed it in those terms so i'm not sure if that will fix it. I've contemplated taking insulation out, but it's pretty invasive, hard to put back once you've done it, and i've no idea what the payoff would be. I've taken out the rear bench to see if that makes a difference and it really didn't do anything very noticeable. Any ideas? Thoughts? Am I insane? |

DCT or Manual?
Sorry - mobile app does not show the profile like the web. So... I'm NOT trying to turn this into a DCT vs. Manual thread... and.... I feel so connected to this car - the engine is always there and the marriage is perfect. And I have a manual. Not sure if that is it, but maybe try driving one - and I never owned a E46 M3, but did own a E36 325, 540ia, M5, X6 50i, and 1M and with the exception of the M5 and X6 50i, they always felt "perfect"

If I were to actually go for a trade-in to swap to a manual i'd probably just go for a 1M altogether. I really enjoy the DCT box, i've put 15,000 miles on the car in 10 months or so. |
