X3M exhaust and diffuser on M40i ?
Hello everyone
I searched for a while to be sure not to post double, but didn’t find this specific question. I have been looking for a nice quad pipe exhaust for my (hopefully to be delivered soon) 2020 Alpine White X3 M40i but don’t find many options... Therefore, I was thinking, maybe I can just order a X3M exhaust and install that one. So my questions, is there anyone with the same idea, anyone tried it? And maybe most important, anyone that would be able to verify if this fits without modification? If not, does anyone know which manufacturer offers an exhaust for the M40i. I know supersprint does but they don’t deliver the certification we need in Europe Thanks a lot Sam |

1. Such few manufacturer offerings 2. Likely a limited market 3. Shipping costs

Anyone here has done this swap to put F97 diffuser on G01 M40i?
Seems direct fit ... but ... ... looking at the underside picture, seems like F97 may have mounting points that G01 maay not have ? But the picture below is with G01 M40i so looks like the mounting points are indeed there also with G01 (???), or more parts need to be replaced that aren't obvious ... |

Seems like, wasn't obvious to me, that the F97 muffler sits lot closer to the front of the car than the G01 M40i.
I wonder if there are other parts needed to fit F97 diffuser to G01. |

So expect to have exhaust system with G01 diffuser to look worse off with F97 diffuser installed. 3D Design diffuser it is. If anyone insists on F97 diffuser then exhaust options seem to be, Supersprint (they have setup with G01 diffuser and F97 diffuser on X3 M40i), or Fi-Exhaust (their install photos show with F97 diffuser on G01 X3 M40i with their exhaust, so ...) |

After speaking with the local performance shop i work with, we are planning following, a) swap out the G01 for F97 diffuser, probably some painting is needed here b.1) stick with stock G01 exhaust with different tips (for quad tips look, probably can now go up to 114mm tips), will need some fab work here obviously, -- or -- b.2) get DINAN's F97 axle-back exhaust and drop it in, again probably will need some fab work here as well, with two flaps in F97, dunno yet if we can keep one side always open, and just have car control driver side flap like it is with stock G01 exhaust flap electronics, Seems doable with underside of G01...

There is a good replica X3M diffuser available, I installed it on my X3 M40i and bought some carbon tips off of Ebay. They look fantastic. The only thing that doesn't match is the body colored paint on the diffuser.
