BMW 540ix 2018 Remus Catback
Hi.
Recently got the Remus Catback option for my 2018 G31 540ix, and its pretty great. Great option for everyone not wanting the M-performance exhaust, or looking for an aftermarket exhaust still using the factory exhaust valves. Looks great, the fitment is amazing and the sound is just what I was looking for. Silent and comfortable without any drone in comfort mode, but still has a little more sound when you pin the throttle down. Sport plus on the other hand brings the car to life, its loud without being "too much" - lots of pops and bangs when revving or downshifting 👏 Excuse the dirty car, winter is here to stay in Norway. |

Is this a resonated version? I didnt think there was a resonated version for the B58. I have just the axle back on mine with the OEM mid pipe and a vrsf sports cat, it wold be nice if i could get the remus resonated midpipe added

Hi everyone! Haven't really heard alot of different exhaust setups for the 540i in real life, so it's hard for me to compare or say anything about the differences. Haven't really gotten any good clips of the sound myself, I'll see what I can do about that 👍 The setup I bought is this one: https://remus.eu/en/car/cat-back-sys...d=1-4-483-1771
Here's a couple of clips from a polish car with the same exhaust, don't mind the 550i emblem - it's fake. https://youtube.com/shorts/sHhw-TzLfCw?feature=share https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFK32sTa/ |

Is that using the stock bumper?
I've seen many who need to replace the bumper with larger exhaust cutouts to fit the quad tips. |

My main hold back on exhaust upgrade is the potential for drone. I think I'm overly sensitive about extra noise while driving. |

Looks great. Does the Remus make use of the valve solenoid from the OEM system (almost looks like it from your pics)? Always struck me as strange that the MPE didn't use the valve at all and keep the system bi-modal.

My girlfriend doesn't like the car in sport plus because it's loud and she thinks it's embarassing (😂, but she was quite happy when she noticed how quiet it was in comfort, almost stock like and no drone 👍 |

You remove three bolts and take the whole "solenoid/valve motor" off, and it's bolt on to the Remus muffler. The valves are operated like from the factory changing the drive modes inside the car ☺️

which size are the muffler covers. Yours seem to fit great and looks nice...?
i got an remus exhaust too with 101mm outside covers (which should same as the remus ones) but the fit is miserable (m-diffusor not fit, m5 look miserabel) The muffler´s aren't centered either... |

I think i try smaller ones, that should solve this Problem with the M5-look Diffusor (also 89mm is the next smaller size). With smaller ones and this Diffusor i can adjust more
