M Performance silencer systems enhance visual and aural appeal.
A BMW M Performance valve silencer, whose operating mode can be adjusted remotely via Bluetooth, is available exclusively for the BMW X4 xDrive35i. As well as Sport mode – distinguished by a strikingly emotion-rich soundtrack – drivers can also select the Track mode conceived for use exclusively on the race track, which specialises in even more hardcore and performance-focused sound development. The stainless-steel silencer system also comes with trapezoidal chrome tailpipe embellishers in the style favoured by eight-cylinder BMWs.

So where is this part for X4 35i ??

Looks like late 2014 or early 2015 offered for sale.

The above exhaust is listed on a website in Poland:

unfortunately I don't speak polish, so I m unable to understand if it is the upcoming BMW Original Part or just a copy.

So this is a BMW exhaust? Applicable to N20 for don't see any specifics.

What about necessary mod of bumpershield?

[Chopper45]

I have ordered the AC Schnitzer one with the quad outlet (which i think looks nicer) and this comes with a template to cut out the right hand side of the diffuser. This is being fitted by BMW themselves and so approved and will be installed next Friday...

[Tjalle]

Chopper. Can you supply picture after installation - worried about the cut. In the picture there is a white frame - although I have a Carbon Black vehicle.

I feel that four outlets are a bit over the top for less than a V8 and 500bhp.

Also interested in the illegal setting on the M system.

[Tjalle]

I forgot: I was afraid that 306bhp and 400Nm would be a little on the low side for a 1.9 ton AWD vehicle - but with the 8-speed it is not. I could, however, have some more pronounced exhaust sound when doing some fast driving- and I don`t like the left side only endpipes.

Come spring, I will lower the vehicle and install a nicer exhaust.

Chopper: Sorry pal but it is everything but a diffuser.

Yeaaaaahhh me toooo the best way to have your neihbours hating you

[Jypsie]

Ok, and this will only b for the X4 35i? Nothing is indicating that or do I miss a point?

[Tjalle]

Jypsie: The internal INFO just mention F26 and "6 cylinders", however if you Google, you will find that, so far, this type of exhaust systems have only been developed for 6 or 8 cyl. petrol engines. Somehow the German engineers seem to think that diesel engines are not sporty

So, any idea if it works on a 30D 6 cyl? Whether diesel engines are sporty or not is an opinion.....

[Tjalle]

I am fully aware of that the performance with a diesel and the 8 speed is very good. I was just trying to explain why the Germans, so far, have concentrated on performance petrol engines . I prefer 3000-7000 rpm performance prior to 2000-4500 rpm performance - but that is also an opinion . I also have a very good exhaust sound, the problem is that it is barely noticeable inside.

My impression is that it is only certified for petrol engines. I don`t know if it will fit a diesel. The alternative is another aftermarket system - but they don`t have the valve.

I will write a review after installation on my car. But that is in spring, when I will remove the wintertires and lower the vehicle. Spring in Sweden is in April.

[SANK_CH]

I like the fact that the design of this exhaust is +/- similar to the one on the Concept X4.

[pr0gi]

well there is now such thing on the German website although it is not M performance exhaust system just visual upgrade for 6 cylinder engines.

http://www.bmw.de/de/topics/service-...F0ZWdvcnkzIn0=

And quite cheap. Wonder how it is done because it is not just a cut since as you can see there is a part around the tailpipe which is in the body colour. Are they replacing you the lower part of the bumper? I doubt since the price seems low to me.

Probably I will end up getting one. Might even order it before my car arrives.

[SANK_CH]

Thx for the link Pr0gi,

but this exhaust is only for the 18d and 20d engines (X3/X4). It has the only optic of the M Performance one, but is not made the same way, and does not have the BT tech. The german text mentions "tailpipes ala 6 cylinders"

Yeah, took me some time to understand what it meant I was living in illusion that we can get that setup as shown on the picture for the 6 cylinder. Silly me.
