Is My BMW M4 Loud Enough?

Seniorleb · 09-24-2016, 08:00 AM

Is My BMW M4 Loud Enough? After a month of driving my BMW M4. I thought i'd give you guys an update on how much of a beast it is! In this videos I will show share my thoughts of the M4 stock Exhaust and Plans to upgrade it in the future.

The MPE Exhaust and other parts are not available for UAE at the moment and the new production from Germany will be ready by the End of October, which will give me more time to decide which Exhaust is best for the M4:
1- Akrapovic 2- MPE.

I have attached my thoughts of the car sound. I like i but I feel it doesn't stand our very much and eventually an upgrade is a must!

Well, in my opinion it definitely sounds loud enough. The question is, are you happy with the stock exhaust??? Personally, Akropovic is the way to go, but again, it's all about personal preference. From a video stand point, the exhaust note sounds great with the windows up. Great interior cabin sound, you can definitely feel and hear the notes of the exhaust.

Just my opinion though. By the way..... Great looking car, and beautiful country!! Best of luck my friend!!

It is loud and I am happy with it! It's just I need more if you know what I mean... I am also trying to collect all feedback from everyone from all my social media platforms.

May I ask why do u prefer the Akrapovic Exhaust vs. the MPE.

Thanks mate

If you have a 2017 like mine, the stock exhaust is pretty loud especially during cold start. Going to MPE did not increase the volume for me but did make the tone more aggressive sounding.

This was not the case with my last 2015 M3, where the stock exhaust was not loud enough and the sound was abysmal. Going to MPE on that car made a much bigger difference than my current 2017.

Mine is loud enough to get pulled over by cops to say "It's LOUD", and I have a stock exhaust.

The rule of thumb is usually... "If you have to ask..."

So, no, not loud enough.

Nah! I just told the cop that it was a stock exhaust and added a punchline for humor "I ran out of all money after I bought this car, so can't do anything else" :P

Kind of

Personally, I think your car sounds great. Tastefully aggressive under acceleration and sedate at idle. Would not change a thing. Making it louder would border on being obnoxious IMO. As is, a classy, high performance automobile w/ a wonderful exhaust note.
