M Performance Exhaust for the 530i?
I was wondering if its worth it, considering it's just 4 cylinders anyway. Found one clip so far:
Anyone has in installed on a 530i? Opinions? Sound clips? Would love to hear what you think. |

Unfortunately, there is no official MPE for 530i.
I wouldn't expect the MPE from 540i to sound as expected on 530i.

I'm curious for 530i MPE as well.
Didn't know official one existed for 530i? 4cyl would sound like crap anyways, but I would like to give it a try. Hopefully it sounds better than stock, it sounds like a nicely modified camry right now at startup. |

xpxpxp I'm still waiting for the link... PurpleSector I have MPE on my 328i and it sounds just fine. Far from I6, of course - but better than stock.

This is another film recently made by the guy from the polish G30 forum:
Personally, I'm also considering replacing the stock exhaust with the M-performance version but haven't decided yet. Still not sure how loud it is over 150-160 km/h. |

There is certainly some slight drone, but as long as you don't go crazy with RPMs it's very bearable. I tend to go above our highway speed limits (200ish) and the sound doesn't bother me on long distance trips at all. Passengers aren't complaining either.
Apart from the high speed drone issue, the purchase is well worth it and makes the car so much more enjoyable to drive. The sound really provokes you to floor it, to get those sweet sounding downshifts, and at times that really makes you forget that you have a 2 liter engine under the bonnet. |

I'm glad I found this thread, you guys just saved me a lot of money. Recently did a muffler delete on a 530e, and cold start is basically WW2. I was starting to look into modifying a MPE, as there is no official MPE for the hybrid model. I also get some slight drone, mostly on lower gears and high RPMs. No drone during highway cruising though. I guess I'll just stick with my current setup, as I do enjoy the sound during idle and revs.
