Hey guys just managed to snag a custom order off a boat that fell through for someone else and I lucked out so my Alpine White M235i with Tech and Premium
package is on it's way and should have it in a week or so.

My question is I've seen that the Exhaust on Ebay from various BMW dealerships
for the M is available but I'm not sure if my dealer has it available as of yet. The Steering wheel and brakes seem about it as of now. Has anyone actually had the performance exhaust put on? This is my first BMW so I was wondering if the M exhaust is worth it or if aftermarket outside of the MFG is the way to go.

I can't wait to get it and start adding parts as they become available.

So from what I see you can buy parts from here for some of the best prices. Not sure how it affects your warranty and all but thats the route ill be taking when mine comes in:

From what I understand there should be a section up for the M235i soon enough on the site.

With regards to the exhaust I am going to be doing that myself, you can hear what it sounds like towards the end of this video:

From my drive of the M235i I know it needs to be louder, too quiet as of now for my taste. Doing a down pipe may be worth considering as well.

really great site, thank you. I saw a member mention akrapovic and meisterschaft that had a similar exhaust on the same engine as the m235i and it sounded ridiculously good. Which I'm sure it will be much more expensive too, but something to think about other than just mufflers.

I am tempted by exhaust and performance wheel with display. Still undecided as bit sure how loud exhaust will be day to day
