I just did a muffler delete and added dual tips to my 35d msport. I love the look but not sold on the sound yet, might add a Vibrant muffler. Need to fine tune the fitment though, the tips moved a little bit on me.

Yeah, its an interesting sound. I took some before and after vids, but it's really hard to pick up the difference and the vids just don't give a good idea. I'll try to get it uploaded today.

It's a mix between a redneck diesel truck and the typical muffler-less BMW straight 6 tone. It's still tame and not loud, but press the long pedal harder and it screams diesel with that BMW tone. It's common that the d folks delete mufflers because the DPF and SCR do most of the noise control, the muffler doesnt do much at all so you'll get a little deeper tone, but mine is fully deleted so it growls pretty good now.

So here is my short story on the weekend at the cottage. We have a place in the kawarthas (if you are in Ontario, you know where this is), about 1.5 hours away from our place in the suburbs.

We use it as our base to go skiing in the winter. The trip started off by packing the roofbox with our skiis, poles, boots and helmets

We also needed to pack food and clothes for the weekend for 4 people (wife and 2 kids). With my dog in the trunk, the roofbox needed to hold it all, which it did (17 Cubic feet).

We ended up skiing at Sir Sams in Haliburton, overlooking Eagle Lake, and had an awesome time. We had Mt. Tremblant in Quebec booked, but with covid cases rising, we are keeping our skiing in Ontario

My daughter and me.

Small hill, big fun

If you live in Canada, you have to find something to do during winter

Bought this as a birthday present for my 3 year old son to go up on his shelf as a model. He opened it this afternoon. Those are the mirrors he managed to break off within 7 minutes.
