Setting off car alarm with M Performance Exhaust

F30.M · 10-27-2017, 05:43 PM

Recently, when I start the engine in track mode, I have triggered other car alarm in the vicinity

Anyone observed this with their M2 equipped with M Performance exhaust?

I parked in front of my Cayenne S last weekend and fired up in track mode. Cayenne was none too happy about it

Yep just did it the other day in a mall garage next to a 4Runner with the stock exhaust at cold start. I giggled out loud and my wife just rolled her eyes...

I set off any Maserati alarm with a cold start even when I'm not in track mode. No other car alarm is bothered by the sound.

is it the car Alarm? Or is it the audio sounds of a jealous car ?

My car alarm went off twice and both times were next to my buddy doing a cold start on his M2 with DINAN exhaust.

Good news is by the time the owners complain, you are long gone!

This actually happened to my own M2 today.

I turned on my 135i next to it and a couple seconds into the cold start my M2's alarm started blasting off.

Weird since the 135i has had its exhaust setup now for close to a month and had never triggered the M2 alarm.

M2's way of telling you the wrong car was being turned on...
