I believe it will be a regular color unless BMW updates the system. When I go in to order an M340, only Dravit Grey has (IND) listed next to it.

Glad they are using Tanzanite on the G20. It's already a classic blue. Great pics.

I don't think the c43 is real either. I believe the 5 series MPE comes with the mandatory diffuser. If that recipe is used here we should be ok but also means more money

Check it out indeed, not any realer of a "quad exhaust", than what you call fake on the M340i.
If the close-up of the left-rear pair is not enough proof, on the top picture you can clearly see the tires through the "real" pipes on the right side.

Nice hopefully there will be a solution for us enthusiasts. FWIW I would buy the MPE anyway so hopefully that works

The thing is, BMW shouldn't put fake sh1t on m340i in the first place even without mpe when base 330 has real dual exhaust

I'm not saying I like them, please don't form my opinion for me.

What I definitely don't like is misinformation and praising something for what it is not.

This isn't about whether you like them or not, but don't come here saying how the C43 has real quad tailpipes (in multiple posts actually) when in reality they aren't any realer than the M340i tips.

Even if c43 has fake exhaust, it looks much more realistic than m340i.

Those aren't fake exhausts those are exhaust "finishers" or "housing". See current SQ5 for fake exhaust. Personally I think it looks good.
