I’m considering upgrading to the M Performance exhaust for my BMW M240i and would love to hear from anyone who has had experience with it.

Here are a few questions I have:

  • Sound Quality: How does it compare to the stock exhaust? Is the sound aggressive enough for a sporty feel?
  • Performance: Have you noticed any significant power gains or improvements in throttle response?
  • Installation: Was it straightforward, or did you run into any challenges during the process?
  • Overall Satisfaction: Would you recommend it to others? Any regrets or tips for potential buyers?

I’ve read some reviews online, but personal experiences can help me make a better decision. Thanks in advance!

I’ve been running the M Performance exhaust on my M240i for about a month now, and the sound is phenomenal. It’s much deeper and sportier compared to the stock exhaust. You really feel the difference when you accelerate!

That’s great to hear! I’m considering it too. Is it much louder at idle or just under acceleration?

The M Performance exhaust definitely has a noticeable roar at idle, but it truly shines when you’re pushing the throttle. The pops and crackles are something else! It’s like music to my ears.

That sounds impressive! How do you think it compares to the stock exhaust in daily driving situations?

In daily driving, it’s just a bit louder than stock, but not annoyingly so. It feels more engaged. I think the performance benefits, like throttle response, are worth it.

I really appreciated that balance too. Having an exhaust that enhances sound without becoming unbearable is a win in my book.

I took my M240i to the track after installing the exhaust, and wow! The sound not only turned heads, but I felt a boost in performance as well. Definitely no regrets here.

That sounds thrilling! Did you notice any specific gains in horsepower with the exhaust on track conditions?

While I can’t provide exact numbers, the breathing feels freer with the M Performance exhaust. You can feel the car pulling more eagerly through the rev range, especially in the higher RPMs.

That’s good to know! I’m all about that sweet sound and performance combo. How’s the drone on the highway?

There’s minimal drone! It’s pretty bearable for long drives. I’ve had friends who own sportier cars, and they were surprised by how refined the M240i is with the M Performance exhaust.

Sounds perfect! I’ve heard mixed reviews about it. Why do you think some people find it too loud?

I’ve read that a lot depends on personal preference. Some folks want that super aggressive sound, while others prefer a more subtle enhancement. It seems to be all about lifestyle choices.

Exactly! I have to admit that I enjoy the subtlety of the stock exhaust for daily commutes.

No judgment there! We all have different vibes. Personally, I think the M Performance exhaust complements the M240i’s character perfectly without being over the top.

That’s a refreshing take! It’s certainly a step up from stock, but knowing when to embrace the sportiness is key.

Haha, for real! I might actually get thrown out of my neighborhood if I went full race car mode every day. Balance is essential!

I’ve just installed the M Performance exhaust on my M240i. The instructions were straightforward, but I would highly recommend having someone to help you, especially with alignment.

How long did the installation take you? I’m considering doing it myself this weekend.
