They're not a requirement for the MOT currently, it's only a legal requirement for diesel vehicles fitted with a DPF. That might change, but as it stands today, you can do what you want with an OPF.

ANY CAR Fitted with them is required to keep them full stop. IF my F90 M5CP could have them deleted I would have have done it by now.

Seems like they are not a legal or legislative requirement. The requirement is to pass EURO 6, however manufacturers see fit. I suppose you could rip it off and see if it passes Mine will be coming off regardless CATS and DPF’s are a requirement whether the car can pass an MOT or not. I guess the OPF will follow suit soon enough? https://www.greencarguide.co.uk/feat...te-filter-gpf/ https://drivetribe.com/p/the-opf-pan...TIeaDTAgb6Toog

OPF delete or options?
Usually I'm just nosing in to see what's what But been away for a few weeks and keen to see if there's any news, updates with the exhaust options, anything in the pipeline, excuse the pun.... seen loads of promising tunes but no actual evidence. Either way loving the performance just need some growl!!

I work away. Once home next week I will see if I can get mine booked in to remove the OPF and report back

I had the PCW mod on my M3C but don't think he travels now which is a shame but still considering it

Nope, he doesn't travel anymore, but a good excuse for a road trip 👍

Nothing there to make me risk or void the warranty, doesn't sound any better to me watching those videos, plus in a fat SUV with acoustic glass you'll hear nothing much anyway.
I loved the sound my e92 M3 made when I had my Tubi style exhaust on it as it was mental and the Miltek was good as well, but for me with these turbo engines you're chasing a noise that just isn't going to come.

As far as warranty, worst case on the exhaust, but then I would probably put in a whole system anyway.

Real engine sound comes from induction not some hack of the exhaust baffles and some contrived pops...but ETTO.

My N/A 911 and V8 M3s did benefit from exhausts but there were high revving great sounding naturally aspirated engines, a totally different thing. My X3MC will be staying stock as for me it can't be made to sound better just louder.
