M4 Competition Exhaust Tips ?

HotRodM4 · 12-02-2020, 01:10 PM

I'm looking at this 2018 M4C for sale and I thought the exhaust tips were supposed to be black. Any ideas why this one is silver ?

That are supposed to be black.

Doesn't look to be an aftermarket exhaust. Maybe ZCP wheels on a regular M4? Does it have comp seatbelts?

Cutout seats are probably the easiest way to tell.

Looks like it

Prob had a modified exhaust on it and sold the original tips or traded it with a friend.

^ wouldn't be surprised if it's a non zcp muffler too

I'm planning on going to the dealer this weekend and checking out the car in person. I'll have to see what the dealer will do about it if anything.

You may should consider that some ppl like chrome tips more than the comp black ones.
Lets hear what the dealer had said.

At the very least - they should have no issue giving u a set of black tips which were originally on the car. I would inspect the exhaust and undercarriage area to see if all looks normal.

Given the fact it has Mperf Spoiler and Diffuser - the previous owner probably had Mperf exhaust on it.

Check the seats.

Nah, maybe titanium but not chrome.

Just got back from the dealer. They said it is the Competition exhaust but the original owner most likely opted for silver tips instead of black. I'm assuming the first owner probably did that to match the silver 666m wheels.

The exhaust sounded great when I test drove it. I'm used to my F30 335 w/ Remus quads.

Rather than just trust them on this, I would recommend taking a picture of the bottom of the muffler. The part number is cast on the bottom and you can look it up to confirm it is still the ZCP exhaust. My concern is if the car may have had an M preformance, and the pervious owner sold it for cash plus traded exhausts, and didn't care that it was non ZCP.

This, OP. Any dealer I've ever been to would have no issue telling you its a ZCP muffler despite having no clue what it actually is. Only true way to know is to physically look at it, or know that it is a comp muffler by comparing it to another comp.

Don't think it would matter.

A few people in this thread over on m3Cutters claimed to have cut open the comp pack exhausts and found the internals to be identical to the standard

As for why it's a different part number at all...

Maybe just due to the exhaust tips it comes with.

horsepower_and_hounds · 12-06-2020, 10:35 AM

I am willing to bet that the only differences are the tip color, less internal baffling material to change the sound (fiberglass material) and the over run tuning.

Here is where they cut open the stocker & the MPE

How do you guys feel about these BMS tips?

They look great to me.

Just my thoughts, thanks for the report

Just to follow up. I bought the car last month and I just installed BMS angled tips 15 min ago.

Love it here.
