100% reversible, no error codes, no modification, no programming, no pairing or re-pairing, only takes a few seconds, zero engineering knowledge required and $0 - it's as simple like that.

I’ve to screw the bolt in the endtips every week otherwise they’re rattling. Do you guys use locktite or something? I’m also looking for some kind of thin foil/tape which I can place between the exhaust and tips but haven’t found what I need.

MPE Sports Mode Coding
Has anyone successfully coded the Sports Mode, to open the Valves / Flap on the MPE, without having to activate via the Bluetooth controller.

If I'm not mistaken it's not possible due to the MPE system being completely independent from the stock exhaust valve actuator. You plug it into the MPE simply to not get any error codes.
Even if valves are closed and you're at 7000 RPM, they don't open automatically, unlike stock/other exhausts. I just open it and then unplug the MPE controller . The bluetooth issues associated with this exhaust are just too much to put up with.

I did a bit of a research into this because the BT controller is pain in the ass.
The cheapest way to do this is to source couple of actuators from any non-M BMW (actually the stock OG M2 without MPE also uses that part number). You replace the MPE actuators with those, add a Y connector (OEM part for some M performance model), and plug it into a connector that was disconnected during the MPE install. Total cost would be $200-$300 depending on where you get the actuators. Here is one of the threads where we talked about it - https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...ght=mpe+wiring |

Does anyone know how to pair a used Bluetooth remote with the MPE (already installed)? Just bought a lightly used M2 (unbelievable spec!) and bought a remote off someone on here and my local dealer was kind of clueless when I first asked about pairing it. I haven’t taken delivery yet as still waiting on title but very interested in getting my ducks in a row.
I’ve read you can reset ECU in trunk with a pen but not exactly sure how to pair Last edited by EM240; 09-09-2019 at 06:57 PM.. |

Hi all,
I'm from France and I bought recently an LCI 2018 M2 with a manual gearbox (not a competition) in Germany and I'm currently looking for an M Performance exhaust who is not sold anymore in Europe. I try to buy it on leebmann24 but they told me that the M Perf exhaust is not compatible. I recently contacted a french independent dealership who told me that the part can fit. I try to get the information from myself but I cant' find anywhere if the part can fit to my vehicle or not, I called BMW France and they can't help me. I saw some 2018 M2 and some press vehicule with the exhaust installed. My car is under warranty and I don't want to loose it, if I install this exhaust. Can someone heard about an incompatibility between a 2018 LCI M2 with manual gearbox and the M Perf exhaust ? |

How does the MPE on the OG sound in comfort mode? Is it noticeably louder than stock for daily driving say under 3k rpm?
I'm looking to get an MPE but did want to find out if it can be on the mild side if driven in comfort under certain rpms. |

If you keep the valves closed, I feel like it is quieter than the stock exhaust throughout the rev range. Opening up the valves makes it significantly louder than stock in all modes. I will say that the stock exhaust with valves open sounds better than the MPE with valves closed. However, when I do open up the valves, it makes me very happy every time.

Cools - thanks very much for the reply on my query. I'm really surprised to hear that it's quieter than stock with the valves closed! That's definitely a good thing when I want a more laid back and comfortable drive. I do like that it's got a jekell and hyde character! |

Think this is the right thread to ask the question. I have a -16 M2 with MPE. The blueetooth button has always been quite a pain but manageble still for about a year. Recently (past few weeks) the bluetooth button has been acting so strange. It takes me like 20 clicks for it to open up but it still doesnt indicate that the battery is low since its still working. Has anyone notices this before? Sometimes it wont even open up or show anything on the button untill i restart the car.

I think maybe the low battery warning levels are set to low. For example, the warning is set to come on at 0.3v, but the remote starts misbehaving when the battery is at 0.5v. |

Which reminds me to order batteries, cause I noticed my battery is low this morning. I know you said there is supposed to be a low battery warning on it, which I never noticed before. What mine does is not do anything at all when I double press it. But sometimes it will light while I'm in the middle of a press. I have a feeling keeping the remote in the car when it's hot out is prematurely killing batteries. Maybe there is an actual low battery warning, but the heat is making it drain to dead before a warning is shown. |
