Soooo this sounds AMAZING..Way better than other 328i to 335i exhaust set ups.
Assuming that has to do with it being a 340i m performance muffler?
Or is it a sound difference from the engine between N vs B series?

I have a n26 and would love to have the look and sound of this exhaust. Seems like a cheaper route than aftermarket as well. From what I understand the 330i is SULEV same as N26. So does that mean you have a 2nd cat in your mid pipe?

Finally, how did the 340i bolt up? Easy?

It goes a little past zero, but not nearly as much as any other car I have owned. Be careful going too far past zero on this car.

Not sure what the fuel reserve is but enough to go an extra half mile at least. I ran my G35 past the numbers too. The estimated range left was *** and still had about 3 miles to go but I was adamant about getting to a Chevron.

LoL
Well, I lucked out .. nearest gas station was about 10-15 miles or so .. ))

How easy is retrofitting folding seats?

From my understanding the b58 (40i) engines in general are louder than the 35i engines. Must have to do with the engine itself and a better flowing muffler. Even more so with the m perf muffler.

I only remember seeing the cat and the resonator I wasn't looking for a second one. But yes my car is SULEV. I'll attach a pic from when it was on the lift. If anyone knows the answer to that please chime in.

Install was super easy. Stock muffler was cut at the dimple on the pipe, then the M performance muffler slides right on and gets clamped down. No welding required. It can be adjusted from there.

The video doesn't do this justice but it sounds mean. Cold starts too. Glad I did the exhaust as my first mod.

I said good-bye to mine...

Not before taking a ton of photos.

Dinan springs in two weeks though... that should really make it pop. Follow my build thread here: Jrocker3's Mineral Grey 340i https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1434836

Does Adaptive M sit lower than the M sport? Would you happen to know? Thanks!

I performed a full detail beginning with a wash then a decontamination using Iron X (first two pictures) next was clay bar to fully decontaminate the paint. Then to polish (two photos showing paint clarity). After polish I applied a paint sealant (second to last picture with blue microfiber) then put two coats of carnauba wax on top of it to give it a showroom shine (final photo). Looks better than the day I bought it.

Awesome. Now the trouble of finding a used one for sale that isnt too much money!

Did you put a tint on the headlight?

[Jazima]

Thank you! Yes, I have a Lamin-X protective film over them

No I believe they are the same height.

Pretty easy. You'll need the seats, 2 bolts, 2 seat release handle/cables and the detachable seat belt. Once you have all that it's plug and play.

After reading up on this forum I used a hex wrench to pop up the clips and it took me a total of 3 minutes to pop each grille out. So much easier than taking the bumper off and no risk of breaking anything. Car looks so much better. Rear spoiler is being painted at BMW as we speak and that will be installed over the weekend.
