More BMW 335i F30 M Performance exhaust videos - drive-by and revving

4DRS55 · 06-09-2012, 11:11 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Got the exhaust installed yesterday at the dealer. The exhaust is not as loud as expected, though I love the sound. It has a unique suction sound that is quite enjoyable. Do not have details on how it really sounds outside since I just got it on. The best way to explain it is that it is about 25-30% louder than stock and the shifting burble sound between gears is much louder.

Also I do not know if this has been discussed but if you have it in park, rev it and lift throttle, there is a much more aggressive burble and pop sound in the sport and sport + mode, which is really enhanced with the m exhaust .

And here's another random one off youtube:

Wow!!! Awesome!!!

Do you know if this is available for the 328i?

It sounds fantastic!!!

E46toF30 · 06-10-2012, 04:50 PM

Stock one definitely sounds deeper. M-Performance is raspier. I will probably stick with stock on mine or wait for an Akrapovic. Also, that's the blurriest 720p I've ever seen! Awesome 335i though!

Thanks for the vids. A good start on determining a reference point to decide if one should get one or not.

yerffejleahcim · 06-10-2012, 06:34 PM

Sound just perfect. Hope they launch the one for the 328i. I will most likely pick this up!

bcl0328 · 06-10-2012, 06:35 PM

so weird. it's like quiet, then right as it passes it's loud, then quiet again. revving sounds good though.

Wow well put +1

I just wish the stock at idle was louder. Kind of like how V8's sound at idle

tizzyd · 06-11-2012, 12:57 PM

i'm just curious as to why my 335 with technically the same motor sounds so much deeper and aggressive with the PE.....a little dissappointing

The Ridge · 06-14-2012, 05:05 PM

All the BMW performance exhausts lean towards the quiet end of the spectrum. They try and have the system gain volume as the revs increase versus many of the louder aftermarket exhausts that are very loud at cold start and can drone. They are just focusing on a different demographic. I just drove with a client who had a dinan exhaust on his M3 and I almost thought it was stock. The E92 335 bmw performance exhaust sounds sweet but is nowhere near what other aftermarket systems sound like

Gjm127 · 06-14-2012, 05:11 PM

Please please someone explain this to me: Why would this PE sound any different than the E92 335i one?
It's the same engine === same exhaust note!

Gjm127 · 06-14-2012, 05:14 PM

btw that youtube "vibration delete" feature makes it look like the camera's drunk as **** lol

nsquared · 06-14-2012, 05:40 PM

Hm doesn't sound as bad as previously thought.

+1. I put an RPI exhaust on my 545 and wound up silencing both tips to get the sound level down where I wanted it. This level of exhaust emphasis seems about right for what I would look for.

If you put an Eisenmann Race exhaust and an Akra titanium exhaust on an M3 it will sound very different even though the engine is the same. This M Performance exhaust is different to the one that was available on the E90 so of course it sounds different.

Because exhaust design is different.

I know but it means they just came up with a different exhaust for the same engine.

I do find it weird that BMW and Meisterschaft are changing their exhaust systems just because the car model is not the same anymore.
It's kind of like they're messing with us and raising the prices for nothing more than they could offer with the E9X series...

To me: Same engine = every aftermarket manufacturer (or BMW for that matter) should keep the same setup...

1st pic with aftermarket comparison is the e90 design

TheRox · 06-14-2012, 10:03 PM

Nice. Hopefully the 535s sound like this.

Any drone ???

positiveions · 06-14-2012, 11:15 PM

I think it sounds great. Congratulations and thanks for the writeup/videos!
