I think that was BMW's rather "economical" way of designing a sporty exhaust for 1M in a hurry, while trying to match the environmental norms too! Result is a confused mess, managing not being green or sporty enough. Among the trio most useless section of the stock exhaust is by far the mid pipe, well maybe after the China special muffler
