Hi, i just ordered this axle back after watching ur vids as i was looking for this subtle change not too loud, i have a Q though do u get some pops and bangs when in sport mode? Also, is comfort mode almost same as stock? Thanks!
Hi, i would say comfort on the Milltek is a little louder than comfort with the standard car, but not much. The pops and bangs are a bit stronger also than standard, but really the OPF holds them back alot. I upgraded mine by adding the midpipes (opf delete) and also a 200 cell high flow downpipe. Now it properly roars and burbles :-)
@@vandorenphilip1706 what is a bit for you xd?... I mean, it is worth to buy the milltek without removing the opf (i cant at the moment, my car is under warranty)... Is it louder than stock in general...? please say yes
@@adriapinyolbarrios6941 Kind of hard to decide. Now that i have the full catback and dp it sounds how i want it to sound, so only the opf back would not satisfy me anymore.
Hi, I have the same car and I installed today the same Miltek but my noise is absolutely not the same like yours (less noisy) 😢 Did you do something special ? Thanks :)
Hi, the only additional ‘mod’ i did at the time of this video was to unplug the fuse for the exhaust valve so that it is permanently open. If you don’t do this, the car will always cold start with the valve closed, even when cold starting in Sport+. This makes the cold start alot louder. :-)
@@PetrolheadDNA Thanks for you quick answer, I have 2 questions : - Do you have a video while driving ? - Does the noise is gonna increase with kilometers ? maybe it's because the exhaust is brand new I don't listen a big difference between (barely no difference) original exhaust and this miltek? Did you have the same ?
@@assetialthibaultfoucart8439 With the OPF variant it is only the rear silencer that is replaced, so there is no new catalytic converter that gains sound with kilometers from ‘burn in’. So no, i don’t think it became louder on its own. The problem is two things: 1. The cabins are so well isolated for sound, you barely hear anything from the inside. 2. The OPF and the stock downpipe are so restrictive that the sound can not get alive. I recently installed a 200 cell high flow downpipe from DCE parts, and i must say it makes a biggggg difference. It really roars now. :-)
@@PetrolheadDNA Uffff ok I really feel to buy something useless now ahah .... But do you keep your factory BMW warranty with the unplug fuse for the exhaust valve ? Also for the downpipe do you keep your BMW warranty ? Thanks
@@assetialthibaultfoucart8439 You can just plug the fuse for the exhaust valve back in every time you like. It takes like 20 seconds, so i don’t see a warranty issue :-) As for the downpipe, you only lose warranty if the problem is caused by the downpipe. Also, i would not worry too much about it. These cars are very reliable.
Bonjour j’ai une M240i xdrive cette ligne m’intéresse je suis en Belgique de BXL, est-ce qu’on pourrait se rencontrer j’aimerais écouter en vraie le son de la ligne, comment vous joindre ? Merci
Bonjour, la voiture est maintenant équipée avec la ligne complète et d'un downpipe de 200 cell. Le son a donc complètement changé depuis cette vidéo, lorsque la voiture n'avait plus justement le silencieux OPF....
@@PetrolheadDNA That is a huge sound improvement imo. Living in Australia and we are getting the opf model same as Europe. That means I don't have to get a cat-back as it throws CEL light. OPF back should be good for me! Thank you!
Best sounding bmw on the market can’t change my mind

@@vandorenphilip1706 Thank you for the great feedback, my car is non opf so hopefully will not have that restrictions :). Thanks alot for ur help!

Is the exhaust valve making any noise?? I hear some weird sound and wonder is that it
You should indeed hear a strange sound when it opens and closes. Is that what you mean?
Nah, the kinda ratling sound right after start up. I may be oversensitive tho😅

@@PetrolheadDNAok merci
Is there a significant sound change compared to the stock exhaust ?
Depends on what you call ‘significant’. There is a change, but i’d call it a subtle one.
I am looking for this exhaust myself in Belgium. where did you buy that?
Dvx Performance te Willebroek, topservice :-)
Hi is it possible to become TÜV in germany with that ?
If Tüv is the same as ECE then yes.
Just wondering is this a EURO6 Model with GPF/OPF?
Yes
@@PetrolheadDNA That is a huge sound improvement imo. Living in Australia and we are getting the opf model same as Europe. That means I don't have to get a cat-back as it throws CEL light. OPF back should be good for me! Thank you!
Nice! Is it cat-back or an axle-back exhaust?
Just axle-back, with opf :-)
😍
Bedankt Mss komen we eens elkaar tegen. 😉
Yes, regio Westerlo 😊
Niet zo ver van mij. Regio Heist op den berg@@PetrolheadDNA
