X3 M-sport dual exhaust?
I was anxiously awaiting an X3M, but with the sad news that the X3M will not be going into production, I've decided that I'll most likely be getting the 3.5 instead. I love the new X3 with the m-sport kit, but I'm not a fan of the two exhaust pipes sitting on one side. I was curious if any X3 M-sport owners have installed dual exhaust systems on their vehicles? If so, any pictures?

Yea I know it's not going to be easy, I'm just seeing if anyone had done it yet.
I love everything else about the car, but the two dinky exhaust pipes on one side just irritate me for some reason, I'm more a fan of the symmetrical, parallel looking rears like those of the Q5 or the FX. Especially with a front of a car as menacing and aggressive looking as an F25 X3 M-sport. |

DEVM, I see you're in Switzerland and have the 35D - How do you like it? Just ordered my 35D M Space gray yesterday and am quite excited!
I too am a bit disappointed with the double tip tailpipe on one side and would rather have it like my outgoing 335d. Do you plan on changing yours, and do you know if it would have any effect on warranty? |

I don't think changing the exhaust will have any effect on warranty, since it's no operational change. However i will stick with the standard exhaust

Wow! I just ordered and was told 5 months with expected delivery date of August - that's already too long. Were you told to expect a 7 month wait right from the start?
Btw, its funny because I was also thinking about the 30d and almost went for it. Glad I didn't. |

Although the dealer told me the changes didn't influence the delivery time, i think it did anyway. However I think that the delivery times are getting better and better nowadays.

I kinda like the stock single sided look myself. I plan to do the golf tee mod to mine and enjoy a bit more aggressive exhaust tone all the time.
I found this exhaust while surfing today... Last edited by lbjgh; 03-25-2012 at 10:50 AM.. |

the 335 exhaust would likely work and fit within the area the stock exhaust is in, but might need additional work to make it fit beyond just cutting a slot for the right side. But you likely will not get additional performance/sound above stock for all the work you put into it.

When I had my BMW X3. I did a custom bumper cutout which was remolded to look stock and had the supersprint rear muffler section.

Wow, never heard about this golf tee mod. Just looked it up online and watched a video where someone did it to his X3. Made a big difference. Going to do this as well. Can it do any harm to your vehicle?
