- Is the M Performance exhaust worth it for the BMW M140i and M240i?
In this video I discuss whether or not I believe the M Performance exhaust is worth the cost of upgrading.
I cover what the M Performance Exhaust sounds like inside and out, the design of the M Performance Exhaust, cold start ups, what alternatives are available and finally do I think the M performance exhaust is worth the cost of upgrading.
The real aim for this video is to give our BMW M140i with the M Performance exhaust fitted a review after a month of ownership as it is now starting to get louder and really bed in. The idea is if anyone is in the market for one they can make a better and more informed decision.
Any comment or questions around the M Performance Exhaust or BMW M140i, please leave them below.
Cheers
Stephen

Great Video. I am getting the MPE for my M140i that comes in September. Video helps me alot.
Greetings from Germany :)
Great video, thanks!!
Did you egt the burbles just changing the exhaust? or Remap?
Does this sound better then the Remus ? I wanna get a better exhaust but didn't know if the warranty would be effected ?
Very interesting about the warranty 🤔, thanks for the information kind of made my mind up now 👍👍. Cheers
why lol
Thank God someone actually made a video about this. I've been thinking about getting the MPE for a while but NOBODY could tell me if it's worth the R16,000 (here in South Africa) to fit it. Thanks for the video brother :)
Sorry I missed your comment! I don't know how much that translates too but its a nice exhaust especially if you want to maintain your warranty. Hope that helps man!
Hey bud, did you fit it and was it worth it?
Yes, how is the mpe?
I am Ru wow R16000 a year ago... now R70 000 😂
Is this only slipon/axleback?
I took my 2011 to a performance shop to dyno- the stock achaist sounds great,
But it was the quietest car there that day - of younwamt some
Good sound it’s way to go
My M140i makes me feel like a child also 😆 I might just order one now .
Cheers Steve
I've had a look and it seems pretty easy to adjust it yourself, it looks like there's just one bolt underneath that tightens the tip to the exhaust pipe. I'm going to have a look tomorrow and if it is easy il let you know. Have you left yours as they were or have you had them re adjusted?
ok??
Beautiful
I have just had a free M performance exhaust fitted today at Tring BMW in Hertfordshire, it's been fitted under warranty because I had the dreaded rattle. I have to thank Max for all his help, he is an absolute legend and genuinely loves the M lite cars. On a slightly disappointing note they haven't managed to fit it correctly in the time they had so it's going back in the morning. It's sticking out too much and for some unknown reason the centre is knocking on the heat shield but in sure it will be fine.
The sound is amazing, I just prefer the black chrome stock look.
Mines been back to Tring BMW and they have sorted out the knock and moved it in a bit more, however it still sticks out more than any other exhaust on the market but my 7 year old thinks it looks cool. I imagine it sticks out that much because its designed to go with the M performance rear defuser and that's more chunky than the standard one. I'd be interested to know if that is the case, if not I don't really get the sticking out look, but like you I'm just happy to have it for free.
Yeah thats exactly what I got told, apparently BMW fit the exhaust with it sticking out to encourage you to buy the M Performance rear diffuser
Cuz of this vid I wanna get the 135 even more..
Since having the MPE fitted on mine i drive more in comfort/DTC mode than i used to. Also driving in traction mode (DTC) there is very little fake sound and you get all the over run noises of sport especially if you manually downshift. IMO the MPE is worth it especially as it is warranty friendly.
bingers laroo what’s the reason you tend to drive it more in comfort mode? I find the steering in comfort is far too light
ST Supercars. Sorry, i meant that i use the comfort/DTC mode more than i used to before MPE it was 95% sport/sport+ however since its been cold and wet i drive a little more in comfort. Hope that makes sense? Spring time will be 100% sports plus.
Hi there nice car mate I looking to getting one this year. What the tax on it for a year plus what the mileage you get on a full tank. Many thanks
Anthony Locking tax on the auto is £140 a year and manual £240, I get 300 - 340 miles on a tank depending on how I drive I’d say 320 on average (mines a manual)
you're asking all the wrong questions about this car :)
@@gamingskilszclips5040 it’s not unreasonable to check running costs on a car, running costs on this car isn’t that bad and is affordable to some on a budget.
A golf r32 on the other hand 200 miles a tank and £560 tax is far less affordable. I could afford running costs on a 240i but not r32. So it’s a perfectly reasonable question.
Is it the full MPE or is it just the M-performance end muffler?
Axle back version :) so the m perf end muffler that hasn't got valves.
Having watched this I don’t think mpe is worth it for couple extra burbles, which I don’t really like. It is better but only slightly.
Does anyone had software problem after upgande to M performance exhaust? The car is consume too much petrol, due to gear shifting too slow and low rpm power deliver is lagging? If you put half throttle while you are driving around 60km/h, you can see petrol consumption go up, but rpm and speed is not reacting. Only you hold 2500 rpm up then the car feels fine.
What?
Is the MPE just a back box? Or is it a full system?
It's just the back box - I wish it was full system with sports cats haha

This is a sick car. Kept up with the M4 all day. Looking forward to the trip to Austria (via Nurburg ring / autobahn) #MPower
Doesnt has the valvule? 😵
My m1 looks exactly like this I love it 🥰
I have a late '15 M Performance exhaust on the M135i... much louder and aggressive (as far as I can tell from the this audio) - seems they really have softened it.
Yep its to do with the EU sound restrictions on OEM exhausts I believe
Marcel B. That's crazy, I have a 335i e90 N54 and mine has a M-Performance exhaust too, and it is sooooo much louder than the stock one, it's literally like day and night . Crayz how it changed this mpe!
The M140i/M240i has an extra resonator in the mid pipe section v.s. the M135i/M235i and does indeed quieten it down by comparison whether your back box be the stock or MPE version.
I was also told that the MPE is now manufactured differently too in order to meet new EU regulations. Not sure how much truth is in that though.
Agree 100% mine is 435i with M perfotmance and it is so fucking loud and nicer
Hi mate, I've got a M140i too and I'm thinking of fitting a MPE as well. Your video is really good, perfect editing and really good explanation! Take a look of my channel if you want! Cheers :)
Cheers man, I like your channel too! I've subbed
how much ? looking at a remus costing 1500 all in.
charlotte hull that’s steep for just a backbox. Can get the MPE from £800 or just have a car with the dreaded exhaust rattle. I think the BCS system is about £1k too which is seriously consider
Bottom line no its not. Its a improvement over stock, but not worth the money, I changed to remus and its allot different. But that's not to say its no good. If it was cheaper say retail price £500 then yes.
Get the fake cabin noise coded out
Apparently it was coded out as part of the install, thats what I was told anyway
ST Supercars nope
Ok thanks
i think its not loud enough. If i were driving and listening to music, i wouldnt notice much if this car drive by me.
Hard to tell on the video but it is loud, my mate drove past me in it the other week and yeah can confirm its loud enough from the outside!
It's loud enough, You can't hear the sound in real time through a camera.
Theres enough noise in my 140I, it's usually coming from my wife gob, it would drown that batboy out all day, and the burbles and crackles and her active over run are more prevalent if we are on the way back from the curry house, you would need the sunroof cracked for a different reason then young man.
Billy Bigboy loooooooooooool
Savage 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:22 intro jeez. I’m here for the sound and review. Ain’t got time for the rubbish music and car shots.
