Right below that you have "Terminali MP in carbonio" which translates to "MP carbon fibre tips" I'm not excluding that because they read titanium tips they assumed the exhaust was in Titanium too but their wording states its in Titanium so |

I'll just give you my experience with the MPE so far.
When I first got it I was kinda skeptical and not in awe of it but was still happy with it. It made the car louder than oem but it made it louder with the stoke tone and burbles which I already loved on the car. The cars sound stock was amazing. This just kind of amplified the car and I was happy with it. Another thing that pushed me towards getting it was the Bluetooth valve and the carbon fiber tips. The versatility the valve provides is great- open when you want to rumble. Close when your around your neighborhood. Great. Fast forward a month. Added catless DP's. Now I was really wowed. The car was an animal. It was similar to before in comfort and the valve closed. Open the valve put it in sport or sport+ and the car became an absolute animal. By animal I mean I've had gtr and amg guys come up to me with aftermarket exhausts and ask wtfffff I had done to my car. That's all I had done so far and it completely changed the complexity of the car. It had a completely different identity now. It sounded like a 600+ hp car that wanted to take on anything that came up to it. (Good and bad lol) so I turn it off when I'm around the American muscle cars that always Wana race in a straight line which I'm not a huge fan of. On top of that my buddy hooked it up I got it for 2700 installed brand new with the cf tips. He gave me close to his cost I guess. Anyways it was welll well worth the money for me after the catless dp. If you're not going catless think of it as amplified oem exhaust with versatility. I think it's worth it. Good luck and hope you enjoy is if you decide to get it! FSociety can attest to the insane sounds my car makes now. |

New mpe (revised part number)
Morning all
I'll be getting my mpe fitted next week, I've actually preordered it back in Dec 2016 but stock was unavailable and informed by BMW a new part number has been allocated. Hopefully it's due to a fix on the cold start vibration issue. Can anyone confirm this? I assume those US owners with the performance m2 edition?

New exhaust is awesome
Had it fitted today The only pita is the red button in the boot Can you have the Bluetooth controller work without the red button being activated ? Want to avoid having to go to the boot every time I start the engine |

So finally got tired of Bluetooth button randomly closing exhaust valves. I went ahead and unplugged the mpe with the valves open and I've noticed cold start vibration issue is gone. Maybe with valves closed there's to much back pressure causing vibration. Sounds wicked loud though lol

EDIT: Did some research and found what the red button is... wtf BMW? Someone on the 2er forum suggested extending the cables for the button to the interior cabin... idk, I'm left speechless on how retarded this engineering behind this is... Will be a major deal breaker for a lot of people, I am sure of that Last edited by Dav3; 04-30-2017 at 03:55 PM.. |

Button in the boot it a Health & Safety thing. No retards here. In the UK at least there are rules on how load your exhaust can be (it's actually quite load so don't go getting your panties in a bunch just yet) and one way for BMW lawyers to say they have taken due care is to install the red button. Track mode is well TRACK mode. It's not intended for use on the public highway....
Now I know you all want to but like the drift mode on the focus RS the manufactures needs to indemnify themselves from stupidity. By making you start the car, get out, open the boot and press the button it should make it prohibitive enough for one to go into TRACK mode on a whim.... what you do with the button is your business. If you want to modify and run it into the cabin so be it. If you want to solder the two wires together then you can. The red button only enables the Bluetooth so if you want to control it from say an Awron you can. |

Someone needs to share a picture of that system. Makes no sense to me.
I must say I am lucky to retain the BT functionality from the remote without opening the trunk.

BMW probably did it to avoid "accidentally" going into TRACK mode...
