Interest in Akrapovic exhaust?

As stated in some other topics, I have a close relationship with Akrapovic and we have discussed the exhaust of the BMW M2 numerous times. To see if I can set up something for Bimmerpost users, like early delivery or being one of the first having the new exhaust on the car, I am trying to collect people here who are interested in the new exhaust.

I have already a number of people who send me a direct message with their name, country/location and the interest in the exhaust system. If you are interested in the exhaust from Akrapovic or any other of the Akrapovic parts available for the BMW M2 than please let me know and send me a private message on this forum.



I will collect all names and see in which way Akrapovic could potentially use that list to make sure Bimmerpost members get their exhaust sooner or faster. I am not promising anything, but we have a bigger chance if we combine all our interest in one single message to the exhaust builder. In the end, you never know if it might open up possibilities.

For those of you who would like to hear or see the exhaust, please refer to this topic: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1267239

If you have any questions about the exhaust than mention them below. The kit will be similar to the BMW M3/M4, and pricing is expected to be slightly lower or similar to the M3/M4. Other than that early information suggests it is a complete Evolution system with remote, down pipes and carbon fiber diffuser.

I am just a contact. I will see what can be done for people here, but that is about it. People still have purchase the exhaust via their local dealer, but perhaps we can get them the exhaust sooner and put them higher on the production/delivery list as Bimmerpost members or perhaps they want to do a groupbuy set up in which you get a nice discount. No idea if it works, but we can at least try. In the end you have no and maybe a yes to such a question.

In the end I got an offer with a 10% premium on the day I left for my 6k km European road trip, which I arrived back from yesterday evening.

Furthermore, it has been at the Pagani HQ, Monaco F1 GP, Mille Miglia, a road rally in Tuscany and serviced in Italy while it is a Czech registered car. Also in the meantime, the car got a cf rear spoiler, gloss black grills, gloss black side gills, cf mirror caps and a cf roof wrap. Also the rear lights and rear reflectors were tinted, the BMW logos are not blue but black with white and there is Coyote mini installed in the cabin. Oh and my BMW logo on the back got nicked in Italy and the 2K km service was done.

It was an one major organisational challenge and a close call in the end... The plate shouldn't have come a day later, else someone in Germany would have driven my M2! The Akrapovic exhaust is next on the agenda. I hope the project is finished before the end of the Summer and then the next project car will arrive.

This sounds like a Group Buy.

I partake in Group Buys on other forums for discounts on car parts.

It sounds like it, but I am not sure if it will be like that. I will suggest it of course.

Does anybody know if there is a slip-on system from Akrapovic for the M2 as well?

They almost always release a slip-on with an optional link pipe. So I would say with 90% certainty they will for the M2 too.

I spoke the other day to a BMW product manager responsible for after-sales add on equipment including M-Performance stuff. She told me the MP exhaust has been developed jointly with Akrapovic and that when Akra bring one out it'll essentially be the same one.

Lol, just look at the finish. It is NO Akrapovic. The M Performance exhausts by Akrapovic was for the M5 and still had Akrapovic logos. Move on people...

Yes it will be homologated for Euro 6 I think. The set up will be similar to the M4.

On the subject of those two photos, the MPE is not a Akrapovic at least not by the looks of it. An Akrapovic exhaust is made of Titanium and the welds are totally different. The one I see here is not Titanium I believe, and the welds look a lot less than the quality I have seen on Akrapovic exhausts.

My idea is to start a comparison between all three and see if we can compare them sound wise. I will first make a video with mine, then with a M2 with MPE which is available in Czech Republic and then fit the Akrapovic.

I`m not sure whether it`s an akrapovic setup or not.

But after hearing the akrapovic I directly placed my order for the MPE since the Akrapovic does not have the typical titanium sound I loves them for.

And what can be louder than straight pipes as a cat back system?
