The Regensburg police continue their “car poser” concept: the summoning of a conspicuous car driver led to his vehicle being seized.
Regensburg - On Thursday (August 19) the vehicle of a 30-year-old driver was checked by the Regensburg police *.
The result: There was no registration certificate for several add-on parts such as front and rear spoilers.
That comes from a press release from the police Regensburg Süd *.
Regensburg: Several complaints about "popping" were received
Lately there have been several complaints of extremely loud "misfires" and "pops".
Therefore, the police inspection mainly examined the exhaust system.
In doing so, she discovered that a sports exhaust system from a Slovenian manufacturer with an automatic valve was installed.
That would have been fine, but they found an additional one in the engine compartment.
Roughly speaking, this leads to a much louder exhaust noise, also known as a "popping" sound.
The police also removed middle silencers from the BMW.
The driver did not have any individual approvals for this.
Regensburg: vehicle is brought to the appraiser
The report on the car showed that the BMW reached a noise level of 111 decibels when it was stationary.
A maximum of 83 is allowed. This means that the limit was exceeded by 28 decibels.
When measuring the driving noise, the level was exceeded by 19 decibels.
70 are allowed, the car had 89 decibels.
In addition to a high fine, the BMW driver must expect towing and appraisal costs.
