While we eagerly await the arrival of the new M3/M4, all of us at IND can’t help but stare at every single component that graces BMW’s press releases. As car enthusiasts, the sound and power of a sports car is always one of the car’s most dynamic qualities and many fans posting in the F80/82 section are already speculating about this car’s sound and performance.
To contribute to our collective day dreaming, IND would like to build an exhaust system database for the F80/F82 chassis cars, starting with the original BMW exhaust system. Here we will compile photos, specifications, video clips, and all other details related to the sound that an M3 or M4 can make.
I’m certain that the future will bring us some great aftermarket and performance exhaust offerings from many manufacturers. These, and more information on the original BMW exhaust will fill the pages of BimmerPost as more exciting news about the M3/M4 develops!
Original BMW exhaust system
- Exhaust features electrically controlled flaps just before rear silencer to minimize exhaust back-pressure as well as giving precise feedback on engine load.
- When closed, flow is forced into and laterally across the silencer; when open, flow is more directly through the narrow part of the silencer.
- Catalysts with metal substrate (less restrictive than ceramic)
- Exhaust always exits all four tail pipes
