So I made a post when I purchased Elsa (named by my daughter after I told her the paint color was 'Frozen' Portimao Blue) ..

This is where I am going to detail mods as they come. I have one mod being shipped out from Eric @ Supreme Power and will post about it shortly. My plan right now is for around $15-20k in mods within the next 3 months.. so changes are gonna be relatively swift.

My car background goes back a ways when all I could afford was my first car, an old 1986 325e that was manual. I fell in love with that car, and eventually picked up a very used 1995 E36 M3. After that I jumped around the Honda scene for a bit but as I grew older, got a better career.. I moved back into BMW and had a 2013 X3 35i xDrive for 4 years until my family got big and we had a Escalade for a bit.

After divorce in 2020 and wanting to celebrate my independence day, lol.. I decided to reach out and build what's always been a dream of mine. To build a brand new M3...

BMW of Nashville helped me in this regard.. and was very fair in giving me whatever discount was available to me and only charged MSRP in the world we currently live in. I had to hunt down the dealership that wouldn't markup or require crazy things attached to the deal and who knew it would be the dealership just down the way from where I live.

Looking forward to sharing as things roll in and get installed!

In the mean time, here's the journey I've had so far since December ...

Is the TFL exhaust titanium or stainless steel?

She may be paying me child support soon the way things have been going. Hope for the sake of my kids though it will all work out.

I should elaborate before this turns into a thing but on the phone one time I had mentioned the TFL Italy titanium exhaust and was not corrected so I had been under the assumption that this was a titanium exhaust and had been saying titanium and never been corrected so it's really nobody's fault but my own for not doing the research

No disrespect but surely the price, or lack of it, would dictate its not titanium in whole.

And to your own post before you found out its true build, its a great sounding exhaust.

Ti will be closer to 9k

None taken but if I'm not mistaken Valvetronic has a full titanium cat back for $5k so I didn't think because of pricing any thoughts it wasn't titanium

I am still happy with the product and the results. There's no denying that. And the weight savings would have been minimal so I'm happy just as is.

Point made with valvetronic

But Id argue this- the Tubi aka TFL quality is brilliant and thus its retail pricing.

Yes I noticed immediately the quality and the shop did too

Its definitely a level up over normal stainless setups
