I too appreciate the work that was done. And these guys were outstanding with care they took during the install. I'd trust them with my car without question.

The above said, I don't like the looks. At all. And I am not a purist by any means. I also think you are going to get better bang for your buck just modifying the stock exhaust while maintaining the look of the beautiful existing rear-end.

It looks good to me. Nothing out quite like it, right now. I can see where it looks Lexusy, but it's pretty unique. I'm just hearing, since it's Titanium, it's like $10k with the rear diffuser.

I've not been on the forums for some time as I just lost hope in this generation of M cars.

I know they drive amazing and are quick, but my god, I can't get over how fugly they look. Even at the dealership, I just hate the look.

And now this. It's dreadful.

I know it's a matter of opinion and I fully respect those who like it, but I think this is the worst looking BMW since the Bangle disasters at the start of the noughties.

So disappointed. 😔

Although I do like a unique centre exhaust layout, this car looked, to me, more aggressive with a wider stance with the stock exhausts to the sides. Nevertheless, I'm really impressed with the skills of these mechanics. And damn what a nice car.

My MPE on the F80 is lighter, better looking and sounds great compared to stock. With downpipes, its damn near obnoxious and I love it.

The MPE on the G80 is lighter. That's all I can say.

Maybe instead of the stacked looked, center the quads horizontally like the E46 but much closer. What a lost opportunity.

What shmuck is going to buy this ?
That's just the muffler only version, there's a separate exhaust system with a mid-pipe.

Will they offer a full exhaust system with the standard exhaust pipes? Meaning not ruining my diffuser and turning my m4 into a civic?

Nope, can't see that combination anywhere.

Yes that’s my thoughts too.

The only thing that seems compromised by the cutting are the couple of central securing holes for the original diffuser. There still appears to be plenty of potential robustness, to refit the OEM diffuser, from the remainder of securing holes at the horizontal outer edges plus the vertical edges. The original diffuser ‘trim’ holes are left untouched so no problem there whatsoever

Has anyone reversed the install yet back to an OEM setup?

Why all the hate on the M Performance options? I thought this was Bimmerpost forum? not Audizine. If you don't like it, don't buy it. I like driving something not everyone else has. That is the reason I bought my RS5 back in 2018. In the city I live in, AMG's and M's are like Honda Accords and KIA's, every body has one. I still have not seen another G80 M3 with my M Performance option set-up of front splitter, back wing, Exhaust and diffuser(floor mats too. So many M3's in my area but not one like mine...
I would never have optioned out the M3 the way the dealership did, but I am so glad I am not one of the herd either

Doing what other people aren’t doing just to be “not one of the herd” is not something to brag about.

It’s like saying I’m gona stick a rubber dick to my windshield because no one else does it.

That quad exhaust is the rubber dick of exhausts. 😂😂😂

Rayien, who's bragging?!? I said I don't like to have something everyone else has. So, you are now the expert on M3"s. Pull the rubber dick out of your ass and maybe you'll think more clearly. So much bullshit on the internet. Get the rubber ball out of your mouth, take off your latex Gimp outfit and crawl out of your box. Not everyone wants to be like you

Damn I hurt your feelings huh. Took you a month to come up with that reply? Or were you too busy rubbing that mperformance exhaust with your pussy? 😂😂😂

Did I ask you to be like me? Nope. I said you trying to be different just to be different is retarded. And it seems like you’re retarded in more than one aspect.

It does seem like you’re an expert on men’s sex toys and bdsm shit. So you can have that win 👏

Amazing work by these guys! Only met one shop in my experience that handles cars like this. I was going to install this exhaust but decided to bail last minute bc I feel it would need the whole m per “kit” including the wing. An aggressive wheel offset and suspension must follow for this exhaust to fit the look. As to the comments to be different, many like to have a different look hence why people strive for unique color choices. I personally don’t care who has my set up and don’t get the hype. Please let’s keep it professional man, these forums are turning into high school facebook drama with these comments like above.
