MPE sales has stopped, new one is coming in Q1 2017
At the end of last week I received some information from a contact and a fellow forum member here that the sales of the current MPE exhaust for the M2 has stopped due to the drone issue.
The noise is too loud and annoying and so they decided to stop the sales completely and has the producer developed a new one, which is coming in the first quarter of 2017. Anyone else who got this information? MR |

Mine already on the way. Great! Limited edition then.
Seriously, are you f*kin kidding me? In BMW's opinion, everything about m2 need an immediate update or correction as I'd like to put it, including the car itself!

"The noise is too loud". It's supposed to be a more aggressive exhaust than the stock system which itself, is for an M car and thus, pretty freaking loud. Have consumers really become this soft? As for the supposed droning issue, this is the first I've heard about it.

Great if it's true. Didn't sound too great with valves open.

Glad i haven't ordered one as yet then if this is the case, also wonder if they will address the rattling on cold start I've heard a number of people comment about.

I wonder if others are having the problem I have of the stupid valves closing intermittently. (instructions say the only two things that cause them to close are you manually pushing the button twice on the remote to close them, or you turning the car off--mine close at random while driving and it's REALLY annoying because it defeats the point of having the exhaust)

Poor design. Akrapovic and other premium exhausts use the M3/4 exhaust hangers too just to eliminate this but for some reason BMW didn't use these mounting points.

I am thinking about doing the same after installation, because I do not like having two valves for my exhaust.

No drone on my exhaust and it sounds great when fully open.. Not sure on the open close issues though... I ain't noticed anything but will keep an eye on it.

Does the stock single pipe system of M2 has a mounting point in the middle section?

How reliable is this information?
I've placed an order recently and will speak to the dealer to find out if it can be delayed until the replacement is available.

Spoke to my dealer and apparently all MPE orders (not in stock) are cancelled.
They will look into it, so potentially there might be a revised MPE after all.

This irritates me to no end due to my thread here:
http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1313280 I haven't received a response from the manufacturer. I hope the Akra is as good as advertised so I can be rid of this headache. The MPE was extremely disappointing, even though it sounds so good otherwise. |

Maybe they'll drop the price by a 1000 and get rid of the Bluetooth and integrate with the idrive too. ... or not
