M Performance Exhaust question

PGC · 11-03-2016, 05:23 AM

Could someone please let me know if there is a difference between the M235i and M240i rear exhaust boxes? I know the engines are different but was curious if the exhaust's also differ.

Thanks

Going by the differences in prices, my guess is that they are different.

Apparently they are the same units, the newer on has different markings and badges, but the same unit.. who knows.. im getting the new one fitted with the new car.

They are a slightly different shape on the pipe to the rear box where you cut it and the M135i one will not fit nicely at all (We have tried)

I have in stock some M240i MPE's at the minute if anyone is interested?

Getting mine fitted Wednesday

MPE sounds quite tame on its own.

Add a midpipe to unlock the b58m motors true voice

Cheers Bee, I've never gone down the route of playing with the system on any of my cars.. ill see how I get on with the MPE firstly since it was such a cheap start and covered under the warranty.

I always remember way back I had an E36 with a total Schntizer system and that should do my head in, on the days I had a headache felt rough it was just too much and I wished I could shut it off

MattUK · 12-28-2016, 04:07 AM

Fitted today (well in process)

MattUK · 01-15-2017, 06:46 AM

Love the pops and gurgles this thing makes

CotswoldBMWMini · 01-16-2017, 04:31 AM

Is that where they have left the chrome tips? They look far too far back, unless that is your preference?

Noticeably more than stock? Any chances of a short video clip? I've seen a few clips and can't really tell a massive difference. I'm still torn if I should get one or not.

MattUK · 01-16-2017, 07:40 AM

I never noticed it on stock to be honest... I'll do my best to try and capture it

MattUK · 03-23-2017, 05:51 AM

Finally getting the car back with extensions and carbon tips fitted.. only a few months delayed

Massively more noticeable! On the overrun and down shifts in manual the sound is addictive. Downside is you will find yourself using more fuel as you keep your foot in longer to savour the noise.

(Got mine from Cotswold and I live in Manchester. They did a great job.)

Sure thing. We can start a Manchester owners club...

M240i MPE doesn't have the exhaust valve

M235i MPE retains the valve

M235i and M240i MPE's are definitely different.

I have the MPE on both M240i's and they sound great, good noise with lots of popping and banging but no motorway drone. Love it.

stvward · 10-29-2018, 08:38 AM

Having a debate with myself at the moment between fitting an MPE, Remus or even rear silencer delete although I find the 1st two the most attractive although also most expensive. Thoughts of members would be appreciated which will stop me speaking to myself Lol. I am able to change my mind several times a day on this topic !!

Moleeuk · 10-29-2018, 09:13 AM

Picking up our new M240i Convertible on Saturday. Had a MPE fitted as part of the deal. Hope I will not be disappointed.

Give it a thousand miles - sounds so much better after some heat cycles than it does new.
