Cool video and thank you for sharing! For future reference, try to make sure when you record the difference, you pick a controlled and specific recording spot for both before and after and use the same recording device so it's easier to distinguish the sound difference.
Nice exhaust! Just a question, how do you get the full clock display on your idrive? I have a 2018 f30 lci with the newer touch screen and idrive software but i can only get it displayed on split screen so its just halfway there???
Hi, the 2017 model had idrive 5, and there you had a "screensaver" option, which is unfortunately missing in the idrive 6 (which you have). You can read about this here: f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1385234&page=2
Thank you for the quick anwser! You made a clear comparison video as it helped me decide... I am going to buy a m performance 340i muffler in the future combined with a 300 cell euro 6 downpipe with stage 1, just have to wait 1 year until my bmw warranty expires 😔
Very helpful vid, thanks for sharing! Do you still have the OEM part number(s) for this? Is it more parts under 1 collective part number or several separate part numbers?
I just bought a 2017 bmw 330i and am thinking about getting this exhaust. You got yours around a year ago now, would you say you're happy with your purchase?
Hey I know this video was awhile ago but I have a question. I get this exhaust directly from the dealer and have them install? Also does this void warranty?
Hi, it is an original BMW part, so it does not void warranty. And indeed they install it for you. But if your car is built after October 2018 or so the exhaust might not be available. I suggest you check with your dealer.
I don't know other exhausts other than from internet videos. I went with MPE because of the warranty and because I did not want something too loud. And I did not notice any power increase.
@@Fi-xn7ih so if i have warranty on my car still and put this exhaust on, will i have a CEL? will i pass emissions? Will this interfere w warranty? Thank you!
@@benmusaelyants9418 You need to check with your dealer, since this depends from where you live. In Europe this is totally legal and within warranty as long as your car is from before July 2018 or so (related to OPF). In the US, there is no such limitation as far as I know. Your dealer will give you the most accurate information.
Recently got one. Have you had any problems with installing the clamp because the pipe was a little bit smaller but manage to force it in? I want to make it more tighter do you know how to fix the exhaust leak?
@@gabriellusung6804 I'm not downshifting. The best way to get the pops is to accelerate from 2k to 4-5k rpm and lift throttle. It has to be in sport/sport+ mode. But keep in mind that it's not always the same, sometimes you get them louder and sometimes lighter.
I just got the exact same car, in fact the inside is identical. I really want this exhaust where can I find it and how much is it? Also will it void my warranty?
@SnipeLord is your car made before end of 2018? If so, you should be able to order this exhaust at any BMW dealer and it will not void the warranty because it is a BMW part. Cost is around 1.000-1.200 euro including mounting. However, if your car is made after 2018 (I don't remember exactly which month) then it has OPF filter and this exhaust can't be mounted unfortunately. Check with your dealer, they will tell you. I made recently another video with inside sound (rear seat down, makes a difference) after 2.000 km or so: ua-cam.com/video/bMgC57fsscU/v-deo.html Good luck
F30 330i yea my car is pre 2018. thanks very much for the response, I’m definitely buying this. The only thing that kind of bothers me about the car is the steering wheel. Is it even possible to have an m sport steering wheel installed?
@@ytacc2978 Yes, it is possible. I really wanted the M sport one but they asked me around 2.000 (airbag needs to be replaced) euro for everything, so I passed. However, mine is the "individual" one, which feels really nice and thick (I think very similar in feeling than the M sport one). If it had had the normal "sport" one I would have definitely replaced it, since I hate that steering wheel.
Yes, that is a big difference with respect to stock. I could never hear pops in stock with windows up, with this exhaust you can hear them (especially if you put the rear seat down).
@@Fi-xn7ih ok thanks man. Mine is brand new. I hope that it will be noisier after a couple of months 😅 (I had a 135i with MPE exhaust before, that's why it is never enough with the sound but you can't blame a 4cylinder vs a 6..). Thanks !
@@pikaglas Oh yes, will never sound like a 6-cyl :D. But are you happy with it? This other video is more recent, if you want to see if you feel any difference. ua-cam.com/video/bMgC57fsscU/v-deo.html
@@Fi-xn7ih I am yeah. It's quite a comfy car. Mine is the touring X drive. The exhaust makes it more fun to drive otherwise it's a pure GT to me, don't ya think?
@@Ghandu123 Yes, that is all, MPE was mounted at BMW dealer. All the MPE clips were recorded on the same day, and you can compare the sound with other 330i f30 mpe videos. I was also surprised from the gunshots, but you don't get them often and really need to rev up to 5000 rpm or so. Of course inside the tunnel they get amplified, but if you listen at the end of the video (recorded on open road) they are not that loud.
Hi KNOX GAMING, if I were you I would search for opinions on bimmerpost or related forums. I know that the 328i has a different engine, but can't say how similar it sounds. If it is like in the video below though I would say it sounds even better than in the 330i: ua-cam.com/video/N4oeEOtHEnw/v-deo.html Good luck

I am going to buy a m performance 340i muffler in the future combined with a 300 cell euro 6 downpipe with stage 1, just have to wait 1 year until my bmw warranty expires 😔
Very helpful vid, thanks for sharing! Do you still have the OEM part number(s) for this? Is it more parts under 1 collective part number or several separate part numbers?
No, but I'm sure it's easy to find if you google "bmw m performance exhaust for 330i F30 LCI". And as far as I know it's one part.
I just bought a 2017 bmw 330i and am thinking about getting this exhaust. You got yours around a year ago now, would you say you're happy with your purchase?

@@Fi-xn7ih why would the be unable to install after October 2018 is it because of the new gen?
@@N0TQUITERIGHT I think because of the OPF, which was introduced around that time. The dealer will inform you better about it.
When you are in the tunnel ,at what Rotationen speed does it pop?🤤 Cause my dont Pop so Loud
The loudest pops are at around 5000 rpm I think (in that video in 2nd gear). But I guess it's a bit random.
I have a car Identical to this one, would you recommend BMW M performance over all other exhausts? and Did it change the power much? thanks
I don't know other exhausts other than from internet videos. I went with MPE because of the warranty and because I did not want something too loud. And I did not notice any power increase.
There would be no performance increase on the n20/n26 from mpe. The only bottleneck for this car is the cat.
@@longebane Probably the same holds, but just as a remark: this car has B48 and not N20.

Yes, that is a big difference with respect to stock. I could never hear pops in stock with windows up, with this exhaust you can hear them (especially if you put the rear seat down).

@@efibe1089 2017
hi may i ask did you change downpipe?
No, all stock except the exhaust.
Its just OEM MPerformence exhaust(muffer with tips) or something else too?
@Maciej Lebioda : just the muffler and the tips, rest is stock. Rear seats down make a big difference though.
There’s no way!! I’m kinda shook at the pops down the tunnel. Is that really all?
