Sorry if this has been done before but apart from the awesome sound, what are the benefits of an M Performance Exhaust?

[boostm3]

The drone?

There was a clip on here of the reg exhaust and the MPE - and I much preferred the reg - glad to have saved the money and truth be told, I think the car sounds awesome!

Granted, I've never heard the MPE in the "real world", but if you are completely enamored with something, why change it?

This much I can say - the stock sounds a lot better at startup - to me.

BMW has stated there is no power increase with the MPE, what you are paying for is the exhaust note. Ironic, being it's a "Performance" exhaust system which offers zero performance gains. MPE owners have complained about it juddering the car upon cold start, so there's that.

Here's a video of the exhaust twerk'n its stuff.

The look, bigger bore, with perforated pipes, looks so much more special. The sound of course, with or without the flaps open it's deeper and more resonant

Oh and of course the back box with m performance logo embossed 😜

It's totally worth it. The bmw technical guy did say no hp increase as the car will adjust to it so I believe that may be the case with most, not just that exhaust.

The noise once it's bedded in is unreal, especially with the valves open. The drone was there until I done the ASD mod and now it's gone.

It's worth the money for sure, and its cheaper than the Akra exhaust.

Im happy with it and really glad I got it.

I love mine, and with the Fabspeed catted down pipe it is the sickest, powerful sound. Running along side a Jersey barrier it sounds like a full blown race car pumping out a gazillion horsepower, simply incredible. Could be the most awesome sounding car I have, and the burble is enhanced, oozes sex.

Oozes sex, totally

Well worth the money, pretty sure the neighbours hate me though!

[JustChris]

Get mine fitted in 2 weeks. Neighbours are resigned to the early morning start up after M235i MPE, M4 and M2


Benefits of the MPE = Smiles

[trj3]

Beautiful exhaust, there is a drone at 3k even with and off. Its worse now that I added the Fabspeed Sport Cat but the car sounds mean!

[pruettfan]

To me these exhaust systems are not worth the cash but if you really want the sound they are effective. I like the cars sound as it comes from the factory. Its always nice to have the option to modify your car to meet your desires. I suggest getting it stock and driving it for a couple of weeks before dropping the cash if your not entirely sure you want it.

[Dav3]

Do you really need it? Probably no

But it gives the car that extra cool factor especially if you combine it with all the CF bits

ASD delete is a must though! Artificial engine sound does not belong with an aftermarket exhaust

This is what I'm doing... and then I will probably look into Borla or Magnaflow, because paying the insane prices these other places ask for on what amounts to some tubing and some mufflers is madness to me.

I mean sure, the Akrapovič stuff looks really fancy, and if you get a titanium version it cuts some weight... but all that stuff is under the car and will get ruined by weather over time anyway. I want something that sounds a little better, and doesn't drone, and that's about all I care about.

I heard the MPE on a car, got to start it and rev it briefly... except it was sitting inside a closed showroom, so it was loud as crap and it was hard to get a read on how it would be out on the road.

[ben_lzn]

I would not do it if you are not ready to live with the drone. It sounds awesome but to be honest I am not sure I would buy it again. I daily drive it and the drone is too annoying to me. And I had to fix the cold start rattle by welding the clamp in.

[basimon]

Best addition to this car. It is absolutely incredible.

[ORIGIN M.]

Not as much as hate my neighbors M4 with it.

It sounds simply horrible.

The tips stick out too far, the tips aren't held securely at least on the first revision, and it requires a bluetooth device that eats a cupholder to actuate the valves.

[AndyinHou]

I'm looking at getting a Dinan S1, so I skipped on the MPE exhaust. Has anyone got any experience with both?

[Levente_CSL]

mpe for m2 is the biggest cash grab in history. hell its not even lighter then the stock. its pathetic. You might as well can get a downpipe with an ECU tune from this money and you will get the same sound from an mpe+ more power

It's a few kg lighter than stock , a year ago we talked about it.

As stated by owners i'ts great. Valves closed and off course ASD off it's even 'comfy'.
Difference between stock is there, Valves open, no contest, stock is sissyboy sound

I love it so much. Driving with valves open is sweet. Anytime. Makes me happy. Nicest OEM part I ever had. But each to their own I know that

And the looks. No need to discuss that imho....

There is a fix for that so they do not anymore. Rattle gone too at cold start.
