M340i M Performance exhaust
I personally felt the M340i stock exhaust sound was rather muted which didn't do the B58 justice. So I bite the bullet and ordered the M Performance exhaust (Part No: 18302464492). To my knowledge it is not available in Australia yet, also the packaging is rather bulky, so be prepared to fork out exorbitant shipping fees if you are considering one.
I have explored other aftermarket options, e.g. AWE and Dinan, however I wanted to retain the OEM look and the valve function. I'm also not a big fan of their exhaust tips either. A big shout out to Adam and his team at Advan Performance, the installation was a breeze and we didn't encounter any fitment issues, the guys were true professionals. Installation was under 45 minutes, the original exhaust had to be cut for the new one to be mounted on. It will probably take some time for the M Performance exhaust to break in. However, my first impressions:
Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to install my catted downpipe from Active Autowerke. I'm hoping with the downpipe combo, the sound will be amplified slightly more. I honestly believe the M Performance exhaust should have came with the car, it provides a much more sportier tone while not being obnoxious. The beauty is if you ever need to dial it down a notch, simply switch to 'Comfort' mode and you wouldn't even notice it was there! Atleast you can avoid getting any complaints from the missus or neighbours I will upload some sound clips/videos later. I also have some other goodies on the way, i.e. full M Performance aero kit, AA catted downpipe and MST cold air intake. More to come! |

Yeah it's so awesome. Cold starts are so loud lol love it and agree that it should have come standard (although I think the cold starts might be a bit much for some people...or their wives) haha

Yep, you won't regret it, it just makes the car so much more enjoyable and engaging to drive.
I guess the post wouldn't be complete without some photos and video, so here you go. The backbox has the "M Performance" logo Valve functionality retained The part no. is visible Video of cold start, and light revving in both 'Comfort' and 'Sport+' modes. Apologies if the audio quality from the phone recording does not come out great. |

The MPE is a catback system, so yes your original exhaust needs to be cut, the OEM unit has factory cut points already. |

Wow! Awesome sound.
I guess there’s no hope of sneaking home unnoticed late at night

you will definitely not have any drivetrain warranty issues following installation of the MPE on a G20 M340i or 330i. I have a spoken to my guy at BMW Sydney about this more than once and essentially as long as you don't tune the engine, you will not have any drivetrain warranty claim dramas. I've supplied and fitted 4/5 MPE's in the last 6 months and I'm doing another installation today on a brand new M340i that was only collected from Sylvania last week, lol. FYI, apparently the dealer Principal and some of the other lads at the dealership have asked the owner to bring the car back ASAP so they can have a listen for themselves. I have another M340i MPE in stock if you are interested. Cheers, JD. Justin.M@jdtuning.com.au https://www.facebook.com/JDTBMWPS/ Ph. 0421 641 381 |
