What an asshole he is. Now you need the GTS startup roar to really piss him off! So he throws rocks at your home and he is pressing charges on you? it should be the other way around.

Hey OP, that's sucks I'm sorry about that.
Your neighbor sounds like an A hole. Cameras and have a good lawyer handy. No complaints from my end, but my neighbors have fortunately always had sport bikes, Harleys or pure sports cars so a stock anything is small potatoes. I keep garage door closed at startup and wait like 30s for the car to quiet down before I open the door and drive off. |

My M3 is quiet compared to my neighbor's 700hp supercharged Mustang GT.

Your situation sounds pretty bad and unfortunate. It’s not clear if your car has a MPE, ZCP or standard exhaust? I know cold starts are pretty loud even in efficient mode and often wakes up my family so I quickly back out of the garage and crawl out of the neighborhood if I’m leaving before 7AM.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Wish I had some sage advice but I don't.
With that said, the website you created is gold. My favorite post: "Bill Siegle called the police department about this web site. The officers reporting to the scene advised Bill that the local police are not responsible for the internet and are unable to intervene."

OP: Heads up, you misspelled "LGBT'' at least twice in your posts, spelling it "LGTB". Unless that's how the acronym is used in your area. I've only ever seen it as LGBT. You may have him for a hate crime for throwing a rock through your window.

My parents live across from a guy with two F8Xs (forget if they're M3s or M4s) in a very quiet Long Island suburb.
My mom complains to me about the noise when he starts his cars, but she gets it and knows it'll stop after about 10 seconds after he drives off. She's never thought twice about filing a complaint or calling the police etc. Part of being neighbors is knowing you're going to have to occasionally put up with other people's crap and they'll have to put up with yours. On a related note, I live in a small house in San Francisco that is technically freestanding but basically shares walls with the houses next to me. When I start my GT3 (aftermarket exhaust, mind you) it rattles my house so much that a light-fixture fell off the ceiling once (true story). I told my neighbors that if it feels like a small earthquake, it's just me starting the car and it'll be over quickly. Never had an issue because they're reasonable people and so am I. People just suck sometimes. Whatever this guy's deal is, it goes way beyond the sound from your M.

Yeah, this is quite beyond the pale - our experiences with this stuff may not help you because I think you're dealing with a very unique situation with someone who's unstable or has something against you beyond just a loud car.
Since your site and the previous poster mentioned it, are you and the other homeowner a gay couple? And if so, has he ever mentioned that fact in any of his rants against you? If so, putting a rock through your window starts to take on the troubling undertone of a hate crime... |

That’s a good idea. Only problem is that Bill Siegle is an owner of one of the local remax franchises (REMAX Hometown) over here in N.J. so we would probably have to get corporate involved somehow.

Cheers brother. So sorry you have to deal with this.
I don't get the impression you shy away from conflict, and I completely support your actions. But please be careful my friend. This dude sounds like he has a screw loose. Hate to see things escalate and have you or your partner get hurt. |

My neighbor has complained about my stock pipe as well (18 M4 CS). I used to have a C63 with 6.2 V8 engine before, which I consider to be a lot louder, especially during cold starts. I simply ignore her.
Being stock and following all regulations, any restraining rules would also apply to all vehicles, so your neighbor does not stand a chance. Just get yourself a good lawyer, and keep the cameras on all the time. |

wow thats nuts, feel for you OP. sounds like you have yourself a real winner next door. Hopefully things get better but def dont sacrifice your love for the car to please someone who seems to be having other issues they are battling
I have DPs and full evo and I usually leave most mornings really early. I actually close the valves (valve controller) start the car and immediately roll out of my garage and out of my neighborhood and its actually not that loud at all TBH. I think the problem people have is they sit with the car idling and thats the loud part. I think if you get a valve controller, close the valves (believe it or not they open on start up which is why you get that loud grunt on cold start) and slowly leave immediately (as manual states) you may not be too loud for everyone who is bothered by the noise.

Maybe I don't get what's happening here, but when I start my car it is quite loud, but after 30 seconds it gets quiet(er). Either way, I'm sure the town has some sort of noise ordinance (like lawn mowing before 8am, or after 8pm) and the car wouldn't even approach the decibel level of a lawn mower.
This neighbor never lived in a dorm in college, or in an apartment apparently. What you're describing here doesn't approach the level of excessive. Now I'm going to watch the video. I'd get my gun permit if I were you. This guy seems unstable. |
