m performance exhaust

Does anyone know the difference of the apperance between M performance exhaust and normal one/M sport exhuast? As I have my G05 40i with M performance exhaust, but I always doubt whether the factory installed it or not. The sound does not like the M performance exhaust in BMW exhaust sound player app.

so just want to confirm from the eyes, such like part number or any sign or mark outside of the exhaust. thanks buddy,

visually nothing... unless you reallllly look carefully left side of the exhaust they put the stamps that it is performance exhaust. One thing for sure.. m performace exhaust vs stock.... it was much lighter than stock.

I put it in the order and the final comfirmed sales paper has it printed out. I don't think they will make this kind of big joke that I paid but I didn't get it.

The "M package" in the G05 X5 40i US version doesn't come with the "M performance" exhaust. It is a separate dealer installation pre/post delivery. Part no. Is 18-30-2-458-780 and there are a few clips of the sounds out there.
Learned that the hard way after I received my car last week but about to order one.

When I took delivery of my car, there is no such thing is "m performance exhaust" option for the 40i. Would've have my dealer install that as well. It came out around January 2020 and my car was May 2019 build.

Excited to see yours too. I'm negotiating with my SA and see if I can install it for a cheaper price……..still waiting…….

I decided to go with an after market Cat-back and a JB4. Much cheaper and better results, plus I was able to strike a deal for me and a couple of friends straight from the manufacturer instead of the vendor. If you're interested feel free to pm me.

I just installed m performance exhaust with cg ds-1 catted down pipe! Noise itself freaking awesome! When you let the gas go/slow down after 2 sec there is pop/burp not too loud but i can still hear em. And the best part no drone whatsoever! To visualize if u have m performance exhaust or not! biggest difference is muffler being chrome. M has 3 pieces and every pipe/muffler has m plaque badge.
With high flow cat i can hear turbo spool!!!!!!! n feel lil more power for sure!

Tscani - can I ask why you added the CG-DS1 to the M Performance exhaust? Sizeable investment on top of the M per exh. price. Thanks! And - are you in southern NJ - if so, can you share the installer? Thanks!!

well, i always do full cat back when i do the exhaust system. That way you get real noise n performance as well. You are totally right it is big $$ for exhaust system little over 4k but i like to do it right in first time. Unfortunately, im in northern NJ near by Metlife stadium. If you can drive here im more than happy to help you out!

After a few back and forth with the SA, they can only give me $200 discount (out of $4600 ). I'm like "nope I not doing it". Is a really expensive exhaust system that only for the sound note ! Need to check out the JB4 and do a little studying on the cat back like other saids.

Yeah plus installation and labor ! What a joke. I might just purchase the MPE and have friend of mine (his is a mechanic) install it for me for a cheaper price. Or I'll just go with the JB4 and cat back option. Let see how it goes.

I was told by a dealer you have to change the faux exhaust tips as well? Is this accurate?
