1995 e34 BMW 540i 6-speed running Open Headers

[baantjer1995]

hah nice way better then a american v8 this has way more power with less horsepower. even a nice sound with open exhaust

[bmwjimicali]

I wanted the 540i 6spd e34...but went with the 1991 3.5 535i chipped 6 cylinder.5spd that came with limited slip...cause the v8 is more maintenance and almost all of them have old leaks..especially the early 4.0 v8 in this shape was crap..and 3.5 6 cyl will run till the wheels fall off..but i love all e30 and e34

[F4T4L1TY100]

and this only with a 4 litre V8 :D

Incredible

[setho1993sso]

haha call me a redneck but it sounded incredible.

[Snajper0150]

Really nice;]

[viggoM35]

Yea, it really didn't sound good. Like an old Chevy. Maybe a proper dual exhaust with X pipe and Flowmasters, Magnaflow or other muffler. Of course, resonator delete. Please check out my video relating to the 740iL camera mount. It's all stock except for a cone air filter.

[Horizonz2]

@viggoM35 it's difficult to do dual exhaust because the gas tank takes up about all the space from the single cut exhaust to the passenger side

[michelharlingen]

Haha, crazy americans! buy a smooth running BMW V8 make it sound like a chevy!

Brutal though ;)

[steedaq86]

@michelharlingen

I was on the way to my friends house to get my exhaust all welded up. Needed new catalytic converters on it. I needed to cut the old ones off and sell them to the scrap yard so I could afford to purchase new ones to get put on. Instead of towing it over there I figured why not drive it ;)

[NoiteraD]

@steedaq86 We drove our Ford Mondeo V6 all the way from Hamburg to Berlin (about 300kms) with open headers, might think is "just a ford" but that 2.5l V6 had a real corny sound to it, but our E39 530D we now have doesnt have to hide itself either ;P

[proline1240]

@steedaq86 Why do you have to have catalytic converters? Why not leave them out??

[FelipeFromColombia]

@proline1240 Because he probably lives in California where it's required by law...

[proline1240]

@FelipeFromColombia Whao... that's lame...

[FelipeFromColombia]

@proline1240 Yeah no kidding... the laws here are just stupid and the president wants to extend them to the rest of the country as well

[pwashington99]

WOW! Miss my 540i :(

[paulmerz]

Hey, what kind of fuel pressure are you running with that list of mods? Which brand of AFPR did y ou use? The VAC/Aeromotive one?

Did the vac pullies lead to a discernible power gain?

And, lastly, the electric fan..what did you use?

[MPowerS62]

See Now Thats a car. 6SPD TRANNY !!!!

F%$# Automatic

[shonzy7]

they sound like 96-98 cobras :)

[FurryHusky]

Yup. DOHC 4-valve per cylinder V8s, both of them. They're good sounding engines.

[DuvalJags95]

The E34 4 litre had an opt. 6spd. I thought it was 5 ??

I would like to get an E34 4litre but want a manual....hard to find.

[89hondalx]

The 530's has 5-speed. 540's have 6-speed's however you can interchange the transmission between the two.

[MrORLY]

5 Speed Auto or Optional 6 Speed manual on the 540i's no Tourings had the optional 6 speed.

[whorebot325]

@MrORLY which is weird cause the ///M5 touring used the same trans as the 540i sport/6...wonder why they didnt offer a 6 speed for the 540 t...? I don't question the miracle that is BMW...

[MrORLY]

@whorebot325 Probably for the reason they didn't offer a 535i Sport Touring, many people just used them as Estate cars

[woolfinator]

My 540 still sounds like a benz ^^.. Need an exhaust mod ;)

[DerbiXtremeSM]

very nice sound.. hope it runs as good as the sound!

[m19921992]

Wow nice sound!

[jesperjacobsen1994]

that is a nice sound for a bmw!

[funkdrum5]

That, that is epic.

[cschizzi]

Great sound, just like a bmw should sound like!

[autobahnking]

that thing is mean!! Exactly like it should be!
