Eisenmann Originals: The 1M
BMW’s 1M is a car many people thought would never come. The 1M was a car meant to recapture a spirit lost in the glorious era of 1980’s homologation, and although it is not a true race-bred homologation special it is by 21st century standards a no-nonsense driver’s car. BMW enthusiasts have been asking for a simpler and most importantly slimmer sports car throughout the 2000s as the M3 and M5 have gained weight and sophistication and BMW has finally answered their call with the amazing 1M.
The car is interactive, simple, relatively low in weight, and incredibly fun to drive so it came as no surprise that BMW chose to couple the 1M with the forever iconic E30 M3 in their marketing campaign for their new sports coupe. Eisenmann GmbH answers the call of BMW enthusiasts by adding their one of a kind roar to the 1M’s already engaging personality. Eisenmann’s engineers have developed a complete downpipe-back exhaust system for the 1M in both a Race and Sport variation that gives the 1M the sound it deserves. Each Eisenmann system features four aggressive 83mm tips, a choice of a silenced or straight through intermediate pipe, and Eisenmann’s unique hand built construction. In our latest installment of Eisenmann Originals, BMW Blog’s own 1M made the trip to the offices of Eisenmann North America to receive an Eisenmann exhaust system. As this 1M is owned by a BMW fanatic that truly has seen and done all things BMW, we knew that our Eisenmann exhaust had to be nothing short of perfect. The downpipe-back system was installed on the BMW Blog 1M, and from the moment the car first started all present knew that the exhaust had given this compact sports M the sound and persona the car deserved. Please have a look at our photos and video for a chance to see this great 1M!

Is there any consensus on how the Eisenmann sound is compared to stock. Hard to really tell on the videos. Seems like I have seen several claim that it is actually quieter than stock and there have been quite a few for sale on the forum. Quality looks great and obviously better value that the main competitor.

You really have to listen to the exhaust in person. Personally, I base my decision on sound and not looks (with exception to the tips, but they can be replaced). How many people are going to get down on the ground and crawl under you car? I have a sound clip of the Eisenmann Race with N55 mids and catless DPs and a clip of my Dinan. PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

"... on the smiles-per-mile charts, the 1-series M coupe can't be beat. It is a challenging piece, a triple-X-rated driver's machine for semi-professionals. Its handling balance provides an open invitation to indulge in latent oversteer, and provides an opportunity to separate the men from the boys. It is an absolute hoot on the track and an addictive plaything on your favorite twisty back road. "
