The police did not appreciate this tuning project…
Women are generally less affected by it, but men have hobbies that can sometimes get out of hand. This, for example, results in a much too large collection. Or a 3 Series that has been tuned to 900 hp.
A 900 hp 3 Series, that is of course a very interesting project. The police thought so too, because they took this BMW off the road yesterday in Oud-Gastel in Brabant. The attention of the police was attracted by the fact that there was a huge exhaust sticking out of the hood.
You can imagine that such an exhaust does not produce a modest sound. The police therefore carried out a noise measurement. The result was 120 decibels, where the permitted limit is 88 decibels. So the owner was screwed.
The noise was not the only problem: the location of the exhaust could not count on the approval of the police either. Not because it is ugly, but because it is bad for pedestrian safety. The car also drove on semi-slicks, which also did not meet the requirements.
Unfortunately we don't have any photos of the car in its entirety, but we see enough to recognize an E90 3 Series. The police give us a look under the hood and they mention that the car (according to the owner) has 900 hp. We have to make do with that information.
What are the consequences for the owner? The police have drawn up a report and given the car a WOK status. The 3 Series will therefore have to be inspected again. And that means that the owner will have to make the exhaust path a little longer if he wants to be able to be seen on public roads.
