how can I tell?
I've purchased my car second hand, a 2008 135i m sport. I like the sound of it and to improve it I was thinking of upgrading some parts, downpipe first. How can I tell if I have BMW Performance exhaust? Are the tips different?
Thanks |

there is usually a stamp on it that you should see if you get under it and the tips do look different as well http://www.**********s.com/bmw-perfo...88-exhaust.htm

Yay! Haha thanks, the dealer was telling me it was stock exhaust.. But I just couldn't believe him, the sound was just too rich. This is great news, one mod less to do

If you look under the car there is a tag on the muffler that will say "BMW performance" or something along those lines

Score! Consider yourself lucky, people pay a hefty premium for those exhausts, even secondhand here on the forums.

Easiest way I found was no resonator and the muffler doesn't have the vacuum canister on it like the factory muffler does.
