The car's U.S spec, I'm in the Air Force stationed out here in Italy. I inquired about the MPE at my local BMW dealership and they ordered it for me, the car has no particulate filters (like all U.S models) just a straight pipe after the downpipe and then the M performance muffler.

Its a shame that there's not a euro version for the exhaust, sad to say but I'm sure in the next couple of years most cars are going to be really quiet due to laws/noise regulations. I get dirty looks from law enforcement if I hold onto a gear for too long even if I'm going 5 under the speed limit. The elderly in my neighborhood are not a fan of the noise Haha, but being American and owned by the government, I tell them it's U.S legal and they don't bother harassing me.

Wake me when their fit & finish is up to par with the Euros. This car feels like the epitome of all sizzle, no steak

Also the CT5 Blackwing pretty much as the same 0-60 times as the M340/M440 because no AWD. I am sure it will pull harder from there, but with the crappy transmissions and no AWD all the power goes to WASTE.

Somebody with M340i from EU with MPE ?
I asked in out dealership about the MPE for my G21 M340i ‘21 and they say.. there is not such thing for EU market... So, is there anybody who can clarify the fit of MPE on EU spec cars? If the fitment is plug&play i will order it on my own. |

If I'm not mistaken, it's not the same fitment so it's very difficult to install it. I read that recently but I can't remember where...
Otherwise, you have some choices in EU for homologated sport exhausts: Remus, Milltek, Eisenmann and very soon Akrapovic |

I don’t understand the obsession in recent years with exhausts making pops and crackles! I preferred the traditional deep, smooth and velvety straight six sound of the “Big” (M30) and “Small” (M20) engines that were used in theSeventies and Eighties!

I really prefer a 'sleeper' car. It's why I debadged my M5 and will do the same with the incoming M3. While anyone who knows the brand will be able to easily spot the bodykit and exhaust, I don't really want a ton of M everywhere.

The M3 you have on order certainly doesn't fit the bill of a "sleeper car" lol
