My car is having plastic surgery today:
Scary stuff :
Bumper is going under the knife! I'm getting implants for a new rear end that's on the loud side.....

Somebody has a nice lift and some great tools in their garage!
Also, you must be going with a quad tailpipe system, otherwise you wouldn't need to remove the fascia, right? Unless you plan to change it anyway to a different style.

It sounds spectacular!! It has a very deep sound and it growls at start-up. The burps and gurgles are more noticeable now during down shifts and when you let up on the gas. I have no regrets with Eisenmann Race. It will sound even better after 500 miles break in. It smells funny though. I just got home. Alekshop did a fantastic job. I highly recommend him in the Bay Area! He is from the M3 forum. Very happy with the results.
I will post pics and clips soon.....

Is that a catless exhaust system and will it pass Calif smog?

Thanks Aleks, it was well worth the wait!! And thanks for debagging my left and right front fenders. No longer do I have to see that sDrive35i. Much appreciated!! I'll see you when I get back from Germany for a follow-up! I still want my M front bumper and M steering wheel done next.

They had to widen the existing exhaust outlets to about 2mm each.

Here is a sound clip of before and after. I think I need a better camera as it sounds so much better in person, but thought I would share anyways:
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a3YfyLwJSqI?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a3YfyLwJSqI?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> Or here is the link:

No wonder you were out running around right away and could hardly post photos of how your Z looked and sounds. Very nice - congrats!!!

Thanks! Now what else should I mod? M-Bumper, maybe? I like it the way it is for now, probably wait next year for the M-bumper.

Thanks for the PM I received from some of you. Alekshop ordered and installed the Eisenmann on my car. Please feel free to reach out to him. He can also get you the 3D Design diffuser. His contact info is posted somewhere towards the top of this post.
