2012 e70 N55 Performance Exhaust

joeschmoe623 · 08-19-2013, 07:19 AM

Does anyone know of any performance exhausts for a 2012 X5 n55 e70? I've been searching for months and still can't find anything but Meisterschaft. I've heard a lot of negative reviews for the customer service at Meisterschaft and found some youtube videos of the exhaust and it sounds obnoxiously loud. I want something sporty, yet noticeable. But not noticeable to a point where the next county can hear you coming...

*Update* -
Sorry, forgot to mention that it's for a 35i. I've found plenty of exhausts for 50i and X5Ms. Just nothing for the 35i.

Thanks in advance!

What about the BMW Performance exhaust?

The Meisterschaft GTC model has the valve control which allows you to select your tone from mild to wild.

Unfortunately, the BMW Performance exhaust is not compatible with the 2012 35i (that's according to my BMW rep). If he's bullsh*tting me, please let me know so I can find a better rep.

Yeah. I saw that, but just the thought of having a switch to turn on/off the valves just sounds a bit annoying to me. What if that switch doesn't work one day? How much of a pain would it be? Do I find someone to fix the switch or do I get a new exhaust?

I thought the 2011 was exactly the same as the 2012. I wonder why he's telling you it's not available for the 2011s then.

Or maybe it's available for the 50i, but not the 35i.

Could be. What part number is he giving you for the 2012 35i?

Actually, the performance exhaust is available for the 35i IF it had the M-sport package (since the openings in the exhaust would be wider), which I don't.

just open the other side with a zip tie and walla !! performance exhaust sound

Murph335 · 08-22-2013, 12:47 AM

Catted dp, tune, air filter should give some sound and good power. Exhaust might drone.

have you looked into the arqray exhaust?
I'm thinking about getting it but it seems no one has it, just one video on youtube from japan.

I just picked up a Meisterschaft GTS (not GTC) performance exhaust and it bolted right in and sounds decent. I purchased from gthaus.com, pricey, but I'm happy. I too couldn't find any other options out there... I also ran with the H&R kit and, just yesterday, got the Dinan N55 stage 2 tune - sweet!
