335 Dual Exhaust

[T5R+]

Could someone here help me understand why some of the 2-3 year old 335d xDrive has a twin exit on the nearside whilst others have single on both left and right?

Can you attach a link to one of the examples with the exhaust either side, as I'm sure I've only seen the petrol variant (RWD) with that design unless these examples have a aftermarket exhaust.

With an example may be possible to see if there's any else distinguishing.

I know I've seen the twin nearside design on pre facelift and facelift models.

Because it’s probably something to do with the BMW chav pack that’s fitted - standard 335ds only have a twin exhaust on one side

Last part of first paragraph of ad, concurs:-

FULL M PERFORMANCE BODYSTYLING PACK (NOT A HALF HEARTED EXAMPLE).....FRONT SPLITTER---- SIDE SILLS--- DECALS----REAR DIFFUSER -----REAR SPOILER ---BLACK GRILLS--- TWIN EXIT EXHAUST SYSTEM (very rare looks stunning)

Although as inferred by their claim very rare, I'm not 100% sure if the twin exhaust was part of the pack, or it's another extra. as I'm sure I've seen 335's like these apart from the twin exhaust.

Either way, it's distinct from a standard one and I think looks good in black.

I'm pretty sure full M perf pack cars are still twin pipes at one side.

I prefer the twin singles.

Given the tiny cost of that lower black piece of plastic from a 335i/340i to get the twin single cutouts, and then an exhaust place to make a free-flow backbox, I'd get the right car and then mod the exhaust yourself.

I'd budget say £250 tops after selling the old bits.


I'll be doing it to mine, assuming the insurers aren't idiots, once it's out of warranty.

My understanding is that the only F30 with an exhaust either side is the 335i.

F30 335ds only have the exhaust on one side from the factory according to realoem.
