F80/82 with Akra = 1M w/ Akra sound?

Do you guys think it might sound similar?



here's an example.

I guess the driver was looking for tunnels to go through and walls to bounce the sound off of. I wish he would have just gotten out of the city where he could stay on the gas! It sounded nice for the few seconds he could stay in it.

Only time will tell if the F80/F82 sounds like that but for sure it will sound similar to that.

Thanks for posting!

I love the 1m akra. Sounds like a race car lol. I hope the F82 sounds like that or better.

Disappointed in the exhaust note? There's hope, but it'll cost you$$$

Akra E92 M3 and 1M.
I figure the exhaust shouldn't sound too different than what it sounds like here on the 1M, which is pretty damn nice.

Vid is from Alexshop.

It's as exorbitant a price as E9X owners paid for an Akra.

Hopefully the MPE addresses the stock exhaust note.

Obviously the S65 sounds insane, but the N54 in the 1M sounds more classically BMW. When I think of M, I think of raspy, raw, sharp, and punctuated sounding inline 6s -- and that's exactly what the S55 will sound like!

To me, I've heard Honda Fart Cans that sound better than that 1M. I'm not being facetious or hyperbolic here. I've heard Subaru flat fours with unequal length headers (and equal length headers) that sounded better.

I literally cringed when I heard that 1M pull out of the parking lot. Sounded like the exhaust wasn't fully tightened down, it was so raspy and.....vibration-like in quality.

If anything, that made me consider enjoying an e9x m3 for a few years before moving to the f80....

P.s. At 31-32 seconds, you hear the 1M create a notable and undesirable drone right before they cut the video. Obviously I don't own one of these systems, but if I paid that exorbitant price and heard drone....well, I wouldn't be badmouthing the exhaust, cause I'd want it to fetch a good price.

They totally rock that s65 though...

Here's the Meisterschaft version I had on my previous 1M. I really liked it.

I wanted a Meisterschaft on my old car but ended up going with an AA cause I got a good deal. Never was really happy with it. I'm definitely not ready to pony up Akra money so hopefully there are some good options. I've never been able to understand why cat-backs for BMW cost so much.

akras are far from the best sounding exhaust system for the S65. in my opinion, there wasn't anything that sounded worse, actually. I think the M performance exhaust actually takes the cake for the best sounding system that's not insanely loud. the craftsmanship, weight savings, and aesthetics of the akra, on the other hand, were outstanding. those were the reasons to buy it (not the sound). just my opinion.

Thanks. I had a tubi exhaust on my e39 m5 and found them to be outstanding in terms of craftsmanship, materials, and exotic sound without going overboard. I was not impressed with meistershcraft on that vehicle - though it does sound wonderful on the 1M above.

Anyway, I think the videos of the f80 I've seen sound pretty similar to the meistershcraft 1M above. Just one of my thoughts.

The video of the first prod car driving out seemed to have a decent exhaust note IMO. They didn't really put any revs into it but sounded okay idling past the camera.

The Meisterschaft exhaust is probably one of the best sounding exhausts available for the I6 turbo motors.

I share the same opinion.
