F15 X5 BMW M Performance Exhaust System

Kzang · 03-08-2015, 04:35 PM

Any update to this? The video posted by the OP sounds like a cold start which sounds like any other 35i exhaust sound...

Hi everybody,

I recently fitted the M Performance exhaust on my 2015 X5 x35i and I have to admit this is an upgrade you must do!
The exhaust sound is amazing and also makes the engine sound way better. In full throttle you think you ride an M2

I took a video from my acceleration from 60-240 Km/h in Autobahnn, enjoy

do we get the same shift burbles like 335i/340i??? if so then this is a very cool upgrade.

Kudos to you for going against the grain and getting the 35i instead of the 35d in Europe. The exhaust sound is pretty amazing... I also have the MPE and plan to do a recording exterior and interior when I get a chance.. I'll post them on this thread.

We get the burbles when letting off the acceleration. During hard acceleration we get pops especially during cold starts.

Edit: I'm not 100% certain but I think adding MPPK also enhances the burbles and pops to the MPE.

Here is a video clip of a cold start and revs.. you can hear the burbles towards the end.

Love the two tone dash.

I contacted a friend of mine who works at BMW and he just delivered bad news to me stating that there is no M-Performance exhaust for the 50i. Is he misinformed or is this true?

The MPPK and MPE for the 50i exists in the form of the X5M

iconoclast · 03-22-2016, 08:35 PM

hahaha, yes i understand but my last X5M made my wife and child extremely nauseous so F85 wasn't happening but i do want to increase the volume of the stock exhaust on the 50i M-Sport.

Yeah I imagine BMW wants people to upgrade to the M so hence not offering a factory kit.

specracer · 03-23-2016, 05:12 AM

True sadly. Wish it wasn't.

Kzang i hate diesel engines and especially if you are a true car lover you cannot resist to the sound of this straight six engine. Ok, my consumption is ~14lt/100km in average conditions but you forget everything when you accelerate on full throttle...
In Benelux is forbidden to upgrade to MPPK but out of curiosity is it worth it?Do you feel any difference in acceleration?

apladap · 03-31-2016, 04:05 AM

Next project is to install the X5M mirrors. I have already asked my dealer to do a research in order to verify that i cannot fit only the X5M mirror caps and i need to replace the whole mirror. Will keep you posted guys

alphaod · 03-31-2016, 05:02 AM

I was just at the dealer today and I saw the new 750i and there is an option for a M Performance Exhaust... It has four tailpipes (two on each side) feeding into the two trapezoid tips which was kind of weird.

Anyways I'm wondering if anyone has heard if the 50i will ever seen a MPE?

With the MPPK, its a whole new car and experience... You will feel and notice the power come on right away when you press the gas... Here is a thread I started on the MPPK vs Race chip tune http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1170172

and also I would suggest you to search this forum on MPPK and you will see that everyone agrees.

dunno if it's an error on the website. it has the same part # as the 35i

Blue4Series · 08-03-2017, 01:57 PM

Do I need to get the tips if I have the X5 35i Msport 2016? or just the muffler?

Need to get the tips.
You can cut and weld the old one, but you will have great chances of getting them crooked and uneven.
Taran.J and few other forum members done it and some fail, some don't.

Taran.J · 08-03-2017, 08:38 PM

Buy new ones from ^^^^^^^

Not worth the hassle at the end especially if your paying for labor to chop and weld

Kzang · 08-04-2017, 07:50 AM

Yes, get the tips, it will save you the hassles of cutting and welding versus just slide it in and clamping. It's easier to install and remove if needed this way. You might want to paint the tips black later down the road and it is pretty easy to remove on your own.

Hey all, sorry to revive an old thread. I want to get the MPE for my 35i 2018 M-Sport, but the parts guy at my local dealer (who I think is a junior guy) told me the catalog says use of the MPE is restricted by the aerodynamics package I have. My body kit, rear bumber, exhaust tips look the same as any other M-Sport so I’m wondering if that’s accurate. Anybody know about restrictions on this part? Thanks a lot!
