- BMW M140i with M Performance Exhaust.
So as some of you will know we have experienced the dreaded exhaust rattle on our original back box and it's replacement.
Well finally I have some good news, BMW resolved the problem by fitting a valveless system on to our car and I am delighted to say that our BMW M140i now has the BMW M Performance Exhaust fitted.
Initial impressions of the M Performance Exhaust are that the overrun is much more active, there is a change in exhaust tone generally and there is an improvement from within the cabin (which was the main reason I wanted one anyway!).
I am very happy with this result and now we just need to get some miles under the M Performance Exhausts belt to build up some carbon and see what it really can do.
Any questions leave them below and as always please subscribe to the channel for plenty more content to come.
Cheers

that sound of the bmw 6 cylinder turbo engine! amazing!!! so much better than the boring 4 cylinder competition
Had my M140i a year, and after looking at loads of varying options, I’ve finally ordered a M Performance Exhaust. I’m trying to keep mine BMW OEM as possible.
Thanks for this video, you were one of reasons I purchased my car in the first place after watching your reviews.
Haven’t seen you online for a while. Would be great to see some more content from you soon!
Much respect 🤗
Exhaust note might be a small thing in this fucked up world but it put a big smile on your face, anything that makes people smile must be a good thing.
..You've helped me make my mind up. Definitely going to have one fitted to mine. Got a mate in the trade will see if he can get one from BMW a bit cheaper.
Great videos....keep up the good work.
anpr1984 I do think they’re worth it, their is a definite difference. I was sceptical myself beforehand but having got it now. I would say if you can get one for a reasonable price, do it
I am ordering my M140i Shadow edition with that exhaust this month... Can't wait...
That is one happy man!
Hi Stephen, even at my age I just love the sound of your exhaust. Its classy and grown up unlike most boy racer exhausts which sound irritating and cheap. Thanks for another great video.
Andrew Lee thanks man! A lot of that awesome sound is thanks to the 6 cylinder engine up front. The exhaust just helps
Well done mate on the sound recording. Great stuff.
Thanks man!
Knowing what it's like now, would you buy it with your own money for £1,000? Am considering for my soon to be delivered M140i.
Awesome sounding exhaust!
Thank you! I can't complain
Thanks you have just made me decide to get the rice crispie exhaust. I was a bit wary of getting it as i didnt see the performance gain but it sounds awesome. I drive around in sports mode all the time to get the best note. Btw i have the exact same m140i colour but mine is a 5 door.
MarkyW yeah there isn’t necessarily a performance gain but it sounds awesome and there is definitely a change in tone. I still drive round in sport mode all the time anyway. Just get so many more pops and bangs on the over run
The performance exhaust sounds great!Enjoy!
Cheers!
I’ve got the manual M140i and they won’t supply it due to the alleged drone from the 6 speed. It sounds lovely, only downside is the exhaust tips are sticking out a bit to much.
Great vid as ever 👍
Yeah so I've heard, which is a shame. But there is nothing worse than exhaust drone on long journeys. Yep agree, it looks like a wheel barrow and its slightly wonky but not much I could do about that sadly.
Hi Steve, did you get the carbon tips included in the FOC replacement?
Good vidéo! The sound😍😍😍 Your m140i have xdrive?
Sounds great. Unfortunately im in the process of a 3rd rattle too having had the original back box replaced and are waiting for the result of the PUMA. Fingers crossed for the MP with carbon.
Fingers crossed you end up with the MP
Hope BMW bring the 1 hatch in North America!!! Got love this thing as a daily. Btw Nice exhaust bro maybe change the rear bumper for more aggressive looking!!!
Sadly I don’t think they will. In reality, hot hatches are more practical in Europe/UK, the us market is more SUV and Pickup truck/sedans, without a need for this style. As cool as it would be, it probably wouldn’t do well at all in the US market😔
My m240i has the exact same problem, phoned my bmw centre any they have said they're aware of the issue and will contact me in the new year! How did you go about getting them to replace the unit for a MPE? if you don't mind me asking, exhaust sounds incredible btw!
How much for the m performance exhaust
How did you manage to get the exhaust for free
I got the M performance exhaust on my M140i. No carbon tips. Th rattle was annoying but worth moaning to get it
Not a fan of carbon but the m performance sounds magnificent
I agree tbf, carbon wouldn't be my choice but can't complain for free and it 100% sounds better than stock
Great result for you, sounds and looks great! Which dealer do you use, HJ? I think your off the mark price wise though, Cotswold offering it for under £900 fitted
Yeah we used HJ. The quote I got from Cotswold fitted was just over £900 hence the rounding up to 1k
ST Supercars ah I miss heard, thought you said three thousand ! Good result though, I’m considering a m140 👍
oow yeah i like the sound, great video, like & sub from me, i love that exhaust
Hi. I’m starting to get a slight rattle! How did you negotiate the mperformance replacement? Can you discuss the stages involved. Many thanks.
Well we had our original replaced with another standard backbox as it started rattling 6 weeks after we collected the car, then the 2nd backbox lasted two weeks before a rattle returned, it was also worse than the original rattle. Just went back to the same dealer and stated that it wasn't good enough as the part is clearly not fit for purpose and we want a system without a valve so it doesn't return. We did have a couple of other things going on with the dealership as well so I think they wanted to do their best to rectify. I hope that helps!
Car went in two weeks ago and BMW UK have just approved an MPE. Result! :)
JD happy days!
What's happening Ste?? No videos for a while. Hope all's well mate. Not see you around Knutsford or Alderley Edge in the M140i for a while. Look forward to more blogs soon. Take it easy mate.
Hey Paul, sorry it's been a busy 6 months in all honesty and I didn't just want to pump crap videos out for the sake of it. I've been lining up a couple of new cars to drive and will film them plus I am considering looking at the running costs for the car. Sadly it's the wrong time of year with the short hours of daylight, which restricts when I can film. I will be back and cheers for the message - it's appreciated! Funnily enough I was in Alderley Edge 2 weeks ago and managed to see that lovely SVJ and Shmee's Senna! Both stunning.
@@STSupercars Brilliant. Totally understand all that mate, sometimes life gets in the way, you gotta do what you need to do fella. Look forward to some new material this year. Take it easy mate! Paul.
Hi mate , great vid as ever, are you based Wirral. I recognise most of the areas you drive around ?
Mark Davies hi mate, thank you! Yep I am indeed
ST Supercars . May see you around and about . I'm Wirral to mate .
Stock Exhaust Comfort Mode vs. M Performance Exhaust Comfort Mode, do you find a lot of difference?
Yes there is no difference in volume between comfort and sport now, sport just adds all the pops and burbles in the overrun
Thank you, I wasn't sure about getting the exhaust or not, this'll help
there is also a difference in volume. you can even notice it in neutral, especially when you change from comfort to sport in your garage with open windows (and it's not just ASD :D)
Hi matey... sounds great! What approach did you take with the dealer? I'm interested to know what you said, as clearly some people who've experienced the fault have not been offered the M Perf exhaust and you have... Any tips?
Keep the videos coming.
Cheers.
Hi mate, yeah we went through two standard backboxes first with the rattle returning on the second one within 2 weeks of it being put on. We just went back to the same dealer and stated that it wasn't good enough as the part is clearly not fit for purpose, it's not good enough on the top 1 series and we want a system without a valve so it doesn't return. We did have other stuff going on with the dealership though. I'd check where you stand with trading standards as well
ST Supercars cheers, man!
I'm confused by this. My 140 sounds like a bag of nails, courtesy of the exhaust rattle on startup. My dealer denied there was a problem and simply refused to do anything about it, stating that all M cars do the same. Others have had the same response from their dealers and it would seem to be the standard approach taken by BMW. How did you get them to concede that not only is there an issue but then to supply you an M Performance at no cost. I offered to pay the trade-up price but my dealer was having none of it, simply reiterating that my car was fine. czcams.com/video/TGSdF9xOwKE/video.htmlWhat do you think?I've been in M140s with both the standard and M Performance exhausts and from the inside at least, both are quieter than a dead mouse in a vacuum but that suits me fine, I just want to get rid of this Trabant-like rattle!!!
I believe it is dealer specific on whether they are willing to accept the rattle. czcams.com/video/HOKOlIb3dqU/video.htmlm53s that was the rattle which appeared within the first few weeks of them fitting the second standard exhaust. Didn't specify we wanted the MPE just a valveless system so we didn't have to come back for a third time.
does the mpe drone at all or is it generally ok?
Haven't noticed but being honest I've not done a motorway drive yet, so I'll have to let you know!
Hi, related to the system droning, I've just had one fitted (due to the dreaded rattle) and I find it gets significantly louder when on load between about 1500-2000rpm enough so that I can just about feel it through the seat. Almost feels like the boot floor resonates slightly. Do you find the same? Trying to decide whether it's normal or not.
I'll be honest, not that I have noticed. But I will keep a ear out for it incase its there and I've just missed it.
ST Supercars cheers, I think it's worse in comfort auto purely because that's the rev range it prefers. Others on babybmw have said it's normal, be interesting to see what you notice although it's quite obvious on mine.
Yeah that might be why, I don't drive the car in comfort really to be honest. I still haven't noticed it but I'll take it out and leave it in comfort and see if I notice anything. Normally if it's in comfort my partners in the car and insists on loud music ha!
Sorry forgot to mention, drive carefully because you really don’t want to come into contact with our NHS at the moment, the food is shit
The fitting is fecking awful - not only does one stick out more than the other, the M badge is wonky too!!!! The rattle issue is not an exhaust problem, and simply a nut that needs shaving back - just check on Bimmerpost.
You need to go to a better dealer.
Epic exhaust though, and it's manic on a 440i as part of the MPPSK
Has ASD been coded out? It should be as part of the installation.
They did an awful job of fitting it to be honest!! It may well be and they could have quite easily resolved the rattle first time round by implementing the fix. But they didn't and we ended up with the MPE so I can't complain (other than about the awful fitment). I am led to believe ASD has been coded out
Heswall ed
That sticks out as badly as my M performance exhaust did. I thought it looked terrible (The wheelbarrow look), so I got creative with a Dremel and twenty minutes later, had an exhaust that fitted properly.

That looks much better! Any chance of a pic on the underside?
No problem. Which bit? at the tips or where the new back box meets the original exhaust?
Just where you fabricated with the dremmel. Was it the actual tips themselves?
If the exhaust is fitted properly onto the original exhaust pipe, you can remove the M performance tips (they unscrew from underneath) shave a few cm's off the backbox on each side and then fit the covers back on. They'll sit a few cm's further back now.
If however, your dealer hasn't quite seated the backbox properly onto the original exhaust. your tips will point slightly downward (like mine were) or not be level (like yours). So I took the backbox off completely and removed a few cm's more from the original exhaust pipe, this allowed the M performance exhaust to sit so that the tips came out perfectly horizontally and in a more natural position.
It's a bit OCD on my part, but its an expensive part and to have such shoddy fitment and lack of attention to detail is piss poor from BMW.
My dealer told me you get the wheelbarrow look because BMW want you to get the M performance rear diffuser.
Thanks for that detailed response, I appreciate that. The look I currently have frustrates me every time I look at it so I need do something about it.
I will get underneath and take a look at where the backbox joins the original exhaust. I believe there is a mark where it should sit correctly?
You keep saying "We" . Who is we?

£3k exhaust? Is it really?
carlo sperti-sainz no sorry I said a free thousand pound exhaust
ST Supercars 😂
no it is not £3k at all.
3 Grand and they fitted it like that what a joke
Its not 3 grand. 1070 EUR over here
3k for that exhaust is overpriced imo. A custom £500 exhaust would be just as good!
