Official Release: M3 M Performance Exhaust Announced (Video)

kaykay · 02-19-2011, 09:02 PM

I would pay $2,500 for it. That's it. Even that's too much for no performance gain, just sound an a weight savings.

BMW is smoking serious crack, big rocks. $4,400 get outta here.

No. There is no advertised gain at all.

That doesn't mean there aren't any.

$4,374 plus installation? The Fuck...

mot · 02-19-2011, 11:41 PM

oem exhaust mod + M exhaust tips > this?

Sandye90m3 · 02-19-2011, 11:50 PM

Why in the world would you pay $4400 for this. I'm not gonna lie, it sounds amazing but for $4400? You can get a Gintani Race exhaust for half the damn price. The only reason what I'm concerned about is that with this M Performance Exhaust, it will not affect the BMW Warranty, however if you get the Gintani Rear Axle Race Exhaust, it will affect your warranty correct?

Fester · 02-20-2011, 02:03 AM

What's BMW thinking....that's the price of a decent Japanese used car....but gotta admit ...it sounds superb

rjd598 · 02-20-2011, 02:10 AM

i just bought a shit load of akrapovic stock

fatpanda · 02-20-2011, 02:57 AM

heard it myself at the dealer. sounds great. outside sounds like c63 type loud snappy crack. this is how it shld b stock.

ive used a gintani catback & akra evo & both have drone at different ranges, vs this has no drone at all. id buy this coz of zero drone with loud exterior sound = how it sld b.

Voltigeur · 02-20-2011, 09:27 AM

~ $5k installed is cheeky of them. I do like the sound, though. Too bad I'm focused on saving for an investment condo ...

From the videos it doesn't sound anything near a C63...especially that startup rev one, that sounded like a stock car

find a dealer which has it & have a listen & drive for yourself. video reviews are far from reality.

Polarcharger · 02-20-2011, 11:06 PM

It can't be hard to make a muffler sound good in the studio. Lime Rock Park (site of last half of video) has been under two feet of snow since December.

Maybe it was ready back in October after all

piloto · 02-20-2011, 11:14 PM

Why can't this be a factory installed option? I mean take out the factory's cost of the standard muffler, put this in its place for $1500 and I'll gladly tick that option box.

I just did a build your own E90 M3 on the BMWUSA website and it has this M3 performance exhaust as an option. Is this the same exhaust? It was listed as $4374 on the accessories page.

I think that's a dealer installed accessory, meaning you're paying for both the original (standard) muffler and the extra $4374+installation for the perofrmance muffler. I'm referring to a factory installed version so we can pay just once, albeit more than the standard.

Jewish Elmo from Brooklyn · 02-21-2011, 12:15 AM

$5000 LOL

Glop · 02-21-2011, 01:29 AM

Way too expensive.

Eugene-TAIWAN · 02-21-2011, 03:35 AM

I would never pay for that

///M3Lover · 02-21-2011, 04:09 AM

Eisenmann Inconel System is listed at 7408.00MSRP...

This one is around 4000ish...

I guess it's for someone who wants OEM fit, lightweight, and not too loud.

Buti_BMW · 02-23-2011, 11:11 PM

is it possible to only purchase the tips?
