bad ass piece, too bad the new M sounds the way it does. Instead of amplifying its exhaust note they should make it quieter.

Akrapovic always makes super high quality products. Says a lot about the company who will be meticulous down to every little weld. That's the reason I went with Akra on my F80. My experience so far with Akras on my other cars and bikes is although not the loudest (which isn't what I'm looking for), there is no drone and while they sound tame on idle, they produce a beautiful exhaust note on WOT.

Completely disagree. The stock exhaust on this car sounds great under load...if anything it's too subdued.

There are going to be plenty of good sounding exhaust notes coming out of this car Keep the faith! There is a sound clip circulating on Instagram of the new Akrapovic EVO and it sounds great. Check it out.

This sounds like someone who hasn't actually heard one in person or has only heard a free rev.

Car sounds great once it's actually moving. It sounds horrible at idle.

Not sure where you get the 3k figure.
Literally $2500 for an axleback...nobody needs Ti...

Loved my Meisterschaft. Always put a grin on my face, as well as those around me. Build quality was solid.

Akrapovic is a work of art. I'd be guilty to get this thing dirty.

That's cool that they sell a Akra diffuser. Makes it a comprehensive design package.

Considering a small Ti motorcycle Akra exhaust goes for 1200usd the price is given.

Lovely, just Lovely !!

I'm not sure any exhaust will make the new m3/m4 sound good. -very disappointed.

The horrible car game sound synthetized into the speakers renders such an exhaust quite useless to the owner.

Considering this version does include quality high flow cats like the E9x version why would anyone pay an extra 2150 for evo? I'm sure thats why Akra raised the slip on price by 1k to make the overall package not seem much more than the previous version.

Still slightly unfortunate, but it's certainly not the worst situation possible. It just means you need to keep driving!
