I have a Milltek exhaust for 1,000 Euros including fitting on my M3, and it has a proven performance enhancement and sounds great, and also looks stock too. 3,400 Euros for this excluding fitting? No thanks!!
 
Im not sure about Europe but here in South Africa, any aftermarket exhaust other then the crappy AC Schnitzer voids the vehicles' warranty. This news will be a delight for modders/performance enthusiasts and I reckon alot of people will be ticking this extra when ordering their cars despite the hefty price tag.
 
^ Oh nice..gives it a thick bass note.. very AMGish..:)
 
Only at low rpms, at higher revs it is still the typical high pitched wail.
 
Performance exhaust system is made of new heat-resistant material that reduces backpr



BMW has announced a new M Performance exhaust system which will be available as an after-market accessory for the M3 range.
The new sport exhaust system is made of a new heat-resistant material called Inconel, a chrome-nickel alloy. The new system reduces back-pressure inside the exhaust resulting in a new sound which can be heard in many rpm incarnations in the video.
The material's properties allow for a reduction in tubing thickness down to 0.8 mm from 1.5 mm, lightening the exhaust system by about 40 percent or 20 lbs (9 kg).
The system shown in the vid also includes perforated inner pipes with exhaust tips in a polished titanium. You can even spot the laser-engraved M logo on those tips.
The new exhaust system doesn't come cheap, though, priced at $4,374 (€3,192) in the United States, not including installation.
If that's too much for you, you can settle for downloading the exhaust sound as a ringtone from BMW North America.
 

BMW M

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport") was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
