BMW Performance Exhaust
Hello all 1 series owners, I just installed the BMW Performance exhuast today. I am very happy for that. Its really worth it to spend that much money. I was going to get Remus and Cpe. However, I end up with the performance part. Its pretty loud when I thought.
My buddy used to owned a z4 and he had a Remus exhaust. It is so different. He drove it today and he got jelous and a little bit pissed since I got it. |

I have the same, it's a lot more throaty than what I expected, and at low rPM's under load it really groans (not such a good thing), but once the revs hit 4000 it has a very pleasing note.
The sound is much more impressive if you are standing on the street and the car is doing blow by's. |

How much did you pay for the exhaust and installation, and where did u purchase it, at your dealership, also did you have your dealer install the exhaust to keep the warrenty? Just curious to know because I am thinking about buying one myself, the only thing that is stopping me is the ridiculous price that only gives you good sound, and very little HP gain. But if I get a deal on it, i might consider, so I'm curious to find out what other people payed for their performance exhaust, and the installation.

Hi windmaker,
Think you could post a video of your 128 with this exhaust? I've seen several 135i videos, but so far as I know no one has put a video of the 128i with the BMW performance exhaust. I ask this because I'm considering one myself. |

I will not get the Remus exhaust if you are considering. As I said before, my friend had it on his z4. It was not loud enough after a year. When he got it the first day, he was so disappointed. Spending $300 moreI think its better.

Note: the same kit on the 135i is $1453 -- I wonder why its so much more??? I'd think its the same exhaust system....guess not!!!
What is the HP gain on the 128 / 135 ? I am like you -- I don't care about the HP gain, but I wouldn't mind having a throatier exhaust note!!!!! Also -- any GAIN on mileage -- seems like if its freer flowing, you may get better mileage???

About the mileage, I dont know LOL. I rev to 6000 rpm and higher everytimes once I got it since I want to break in quicker. I will try tomorrow morning when I am going to work. My stock exhaust had around 27-29 (going to work). |

I'm jealous of your mileage -- I get 20 going to work (5 mile drive). I drive what I say "moderate." I juice it at least once a trip...but I really don't take it all the way to the redline too often. I wish I got 28MPG -- def jealous of that.
