g20 M340i MPE or DINAN exhaust??
So, the M Performance exhaust is cheaper than the Dinan, but the dinan not only looks better but sounds better in my opinion. The stock exhaust on the g20 M340i sounds good to begin with and so does the MPE. But, of course over the past month DINAN finally released the new quad tip exhaust for the G20 M340i.. I Feel it is a better looking system, sounds better and stands out way better than the MPE. The MPE physically looks similar to stock M340i exhaust which BMW dropped the ball on. It is almost pathetic, especially with the bumper exhaust cutouts that looks exactly like a 330i.. opinions anyone? I am leaning towards the DINAN system 65/35 in a MPE VS DINAN exhaust for the m340i

I would buy it in a heartbeat if the tips were slightly smaller and didn't have such prominent branding on them. Otherwise the sound and everything else looks great.

The Tips are large, but in comparison to MPE and the fact you can tuck(dinan quad tips) them in more than the exampled grey m340 dinan used, it looks great. MPE nothing changes back there except exhaust note.

Still doesn't make me feel any different about the size of the tips and the branding. I like an OEMish look.

I got the MPE but I got it port installed and residualized in my lease. If I were to make the decision now I would probably go with the Dinan. I love my MPE but I wish it was louder, as I'm not considering a downpipe.

Yea, I am leaning towards the DINAN, I just want the tips tucked in, I dont want them sticking out as far as DINAN did to show off the tips. You'll still be able to see them its unavoidable just they do go in a little further according to some other posts on here from installing the DINAN exhaust themselves, and to be honest the guy with the white M340 that put it on, he did a great job tucking them in further, looks way better and cleaner.

My vote will depending on certain details. If I was ordering a car I was leasing I'd vote MPE since it can be installed for free and is residualized into the lease. No worrying about swapping it at the end of the lease and it keeps everything OEM. However if I were choosing between the MPE and Dinan exhausts on a stock car I already had, I'd choose the Dinan. I have MPE but based on the videos the Dinan exhaust sounds slighty deeper and louder which is nice. The quad tips are also much better than the stock exhaust surround. At this point I'm just waiting for someone to make quad exhaust tips that fit the MPE.

My dealer said they wouldn't care as long as it wasn't some straight piped exhaust or something. I asked when I was purchasing

Oh one pro tip go ahead and spend the 60$ for the cables and bimmercode app, the exhaust really comes to life after the ASD is turned off.

Trying to decide on both these options myself! I am leaning towards the Dinan.. As long as the tips can be pushed in a little more. I like MPE but the stock tips drive me crazy that you can see straight down to the ground. If they were connected to the exhaust it would be a more difficult decision to make but i think BMW dropped the ball connecting them to the bumper. Poorly executed IMO.

The Dinan exhaust value would probably be about 50-cents on the dollar used three years from now. I would put the Dinan on now (about $1500.00) and then sell it for $750.00ish a few years down the road :-). And turn my car in with the stock exhaust it came with - it's a super easy swap - on and off is probably a total of $100 Again just my thoughts... |

I killed the ASD on my 340 and will do the same when my 2021 M340 eventually reaches me (probably in 2026) |

for me it's going to be the differences between AWE and Dinan; AWE should be released within the next month and is a catback
