Akrapovic exhaust for M135i - who wants one?

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Akrapovic made an exhaust for the 1M, and the 1M was a "limited built" model.

I wonder if Akrapovic will make an exhaust for the M135i ?

I suppose there will be much more M135i's out there (because the model is not limited), but then again the buyers of the M135i model are maybe less likely to (fine-)tune their car, as compared to 1M owners.


So who wants an Akrapovic ? I want one
If we get the buzz going, they might consider to make one

Or maybe Akrapovic will make a new configuration for the M135i sound generator? :-)

Sold. I'll take now a M135i with adaptive suspension.
I like the comfort setting, I commute 70 miles per day. 1M was not the best choice for daily driver.
So yeah, I'm getting old.

I hear ya! Have driven both the M135i and M3 and found them more comfortable than the 1M for longer journeys. Can't blame you.

M135i is a cracking car and a good alternative. Wish we could get xDrive in the UK.

I was snooping around, finally found that supersprint have made an exhaust for the 118i and 125i/d. You can have 2 on the left hand side or 2 exhaust on each side. Lets just hope no matter who it is, being milltek, supersprint, or akra please make it 4 exhaust not the usually 2. Also how come apr never dove into the bmw market they only do vag cars?

I'd go for a sports exhaust but my memory of Akrapovic exhausts is that they cost slightly more than putting a man on the moon and sound excessively evil, so I think I'd prefer something more realistically priced and slightly more usable on a daily basis.

I have to admit I'd be stuck if Akrapovic brought out an exhaust for the M135i, I've been keen on the M Performance exhaust all along (despite never having heard it) My dad has had Akrapovic exhausts on the 335i and it sounded pretty special tbh. I've also seen the many videos of the 1M Akrapovic pipes and again sounds fantastic.

Stumbling block for many would be the price I guess if such an exhaust was developed for the M135i.

I'm not holding my breath tbh

It's all about you

Akrapovic have no exact schedule for this car but don't expect to start testing before the end of the year.

I need some louder exhaust...
the M135i is so silent...
