640i GC Exhaust System...

Hi Guys,

I have noticed on my 13 640i GC that she (yes its a she) has loud exhaust sounds.. I am starting to wonder if she has a low tuned exhaust system - i didn't buy her second hand - but up to what my dealer said, they don't get the 640i Models with an Exhaust System and an Exhaust system wouldn't work on her.. Just wondering do all 640i Models come with a low tuned Exhaust System?

It probably is the M Performance Exhaust system from BMW.

M Performance Exhaust is separate from the M sport package.

I saw the video, it sounds like the M Performance Exhaust.

That's great news for me... I've always wondered why my car is louder than usual


Its pretty accurate because thats 100% its sound but what surprises me is that my exhausts aren't blacked out, they're the normal chrome... Either way still pretty happy bout it

If you have the ///M marking on top of the exhaust you know its the M Performance version. It is around $1,000~ USD.

That is a bit strange. It sounds exactly like the M Performance Exhaust though.

Standard sounds pretty much like yours.
Camera just further away from the car in the video below.
Gran Coupe sounds louder than the 5 Series
