Has anyone installed one of the above on their 135i/235i?

What is it like? Worth the money?

Yes had mine fitted 2 months ago (M135i). Really pleased with it. The cost is hard to justify and it isn't THAT much louder, but I have no regrets.

what does it do the exhaust sound? Is it just volume? Does it change tone or anything else?

what was the cost?

Pops, crackles, burbles and a bit of rasp. First mod (and essential mod IMHO) you should do.

It's steep for a back box only but a bit of shopping around, perhaps from Germany will save you a couple of hundred quid.

A guy I know had one fitted to an M135i.

I thought the difference was rather noticeable.

It sounded great.

Bloody expensive though.

Are people not gutting the backbox on these yet?

As people have said, it gives off nice pops and bangs and gives an edge to the exhaust note.

I got a fairly hefty discount from BMW's quoted prices thanks to a friendly PH'er steering me in the right direction.

I keep hankering after one of these, but I just can't bring myself to drop £800 on one.

Might go Milltek or perhaps try butchering the OEM backbox like I did on the M3.

I had mine fitted from new (at dealer once it arrived from the factory).

I test drove an M135i twice, before and after the exhaust had been changed - the difference for me was very noticeable.

I have had nothing but compliments about how good the car sounds...

There are plenty of videos on YouTube if you do a quick search, where other owners have uploaded their cars.

But as in the posts above, you get crackles, pops, and a nice loud *fart* when the auto changes gear in Sport mode.
