UK exhaust upgrades - MOT issues?
I ordered the performance exhaust for my F90 M5 Comp and was told it is not being sold for EU markets and would fail an MOT in the UK - presumably the same is for any exhaust modification increasing the exhaust noise.
Has anyone in the UK had an MOT yet with an F90 M5 exhaust upgrade? I see there are some people on this forum getting them fitted anyway.... any issues? Seems to have the same risk whether BMW or another brand used. Just weighing up my next step.... thanks! |

Lots of folks here can fit what exhaust they like because they dont run this filter set up, as i believe its just an EU thing, and this is mostly an American site ?. |

Thanks for the feedback. So to summarise, the M5C's OPF is currently not compatible with an M Performance exhaust in the EU - or presumably other full systems. This may or may not change.
In the meantime, my only option is a rear system - like this one from Remus that Evolve sell? https://www.evolveautomotive.com/rem...bs_tags_tabbed Does this sound as beefy as the M Performance or Akrapovic? Also, would this help increase the sound further? https://www.evolveautomotive.com/rem...90-m5-opf.html There was a warning on this too that it might deactivate the OPF. Imran - thanks for your help! Sorry, this has been a little confusing to me... before I just fitted the exhaust I wanted without researching into regulations. Sounds like I'll be needing to visit you in Luton soon. Will call soon to book in and see what other mods might make sense... |

Your only option at the moment is a back box from Remus/ACShnitzer, but one of them is far less costly than the other. You cannot change anything alse. |
