Akrapovic

Had to make a decision.
The production for 1M will stop soon.

The decision?
Hell yeah!

Probably the only mod that would add value to the car when it's time to sell.

M Surfer · 02-25-2014, 12:37 PM

Hi.
I heard about this to.

Do you know when they will stop the production?

Hobbe · 02-25-2014, 02:31 PM

Nope, but both my BMW dealer, and the Akrapovic agent in the country confirned that it's about to happen.
I didn't dare to wait and find out

timbo_3101 · 02-25-2014, 02:41 PM

Long time without hearing from you!

How is your local BMW club?

(Will be heading to Stockholm in early June; less freezing/scary than February.)

Read that over here in October 2013, so likely that production is already discontinued as we speak (see: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=896142).

I live in Stockholm.
Send me a PM once you're here.

June 3-5 we'll help a local BMW dealer with VIP days on the nearby track, and test new BMW and MINI models.
A six hour 1M travel to the south of Sweden, or one hour by air, but if interested let me know.

OK so mine might be one of the last few left.

Sounds (seriously) appealing, although my time in Stockholm is shorter than I would like. Technically (reluctantly), I am attending a four-day conference.

To be honest, I can barely handle 6MT in right-hand drive. So attempting left-hand drive 6MT would be interesting (dangerous) ... would be unfair on the well-being of locals

Hope the new exhaust meets expectations!

mweine · 02-26-2014, 08:35 PM

Sounds great but crazy expensive!! Maybe someone could organize a group buy.

cmcdonald · 02-26-2014, 09:22 PM

Akprovic makes some really nice stuff. That exhaust sounds and looks amazing. If they made something for the non M 1ers I would have definitely bought it. Awesome exhaust choice!!

Jay-K · 02-26-2014, 09:45 PM

you won't regret.

How much is this system?

1'M Blue · 02-28-2014, 01:31 AM

Its a bit expensive but produces a lovely intoxicating sound while also being able to be civilized with the closed valves

Osiris · 02-28-2014, 04:57 AM

-1- and add the wireless kit (to toggle at will between sport sound and muffled sound).

Jay-K · 02-28-2014, 10:04 AM

watched the video again, you're going to regret if you don't take this system.

Hobbe · 03-15-2014, 09:38 PM

Got it

No regrets.

One///Em · 03-15-2014, 10:29 PM

HMS is better IMO, even though I have the Akra

Hobbe · 03-15-2014, 11:16 PM

Better in what sense?
