Hey everyone,

Congrats on the new car, would love the hear the exhaust if you get it done or any other options regarding the exhuast. I am trying to figure out what to do with mine, It sounds like a Honda accord for such a mighty S68 that's in there. Disappointing do to the Eu noise regs they had to follow. The previous m50i sounded 100% better stock by comparison. The P1 exhaust sounds real good on the m60i, however, it's about $4200 shipped and about $3400 around the holidays. It prob the best sounding one I have heard so far.

Hey everyone,

Excited to finally join the M60i club! I just got word that my custom build has been dispatched from the factory. I worked with smithf80 Scott (Insight Auto Consulting) for this order. He got me 10% off on the MSRP and 1.99% rate plus corporate incentives. The process was incredibly smooth, and he really helped me navigate the allocation and pricing. Highly recommend reaching out to him if you’re looking for a broker who knows the BMW market.

Next Steps & Mod Advice:

I’m already planning the aftermarket phase. I’m leaning heavily toward an exhaust upgrade because the S68 engine is a bit too quiet for my taste from the factory. I’m currently [...]

Thanks for the suggestion! I will look into P1 exhaust. Have you heard P1 exhaust in person, or just from videos? And what do think about other options like Dahler Stage 2 and Valvetronics?

No, did not hear it in person. That would be a unicorn to actually know someone that has it installed by me. From the sound clips the P1 sounds better to me then the Dahler. The valvetronic sounds the loudest however less refined. What are your thoughts? Are there any other options then these three on the m60i?

I have heard sound clips of Dahler Stage 3 and imo that sounds the best. However, stage 3 is a catless system with downpipes which would be risking the warranty. I haven't found any sound clips for stage 2. From what I've researched, Dahler is the most refined one. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any other trustable brands. Also, I emailed Dinan and they said they are working on an exhaust for m60i which would be released this calendar year.
