I’m convinced they added GPF filters so we would slowly climatise ourselves to electric vehicles, if we no longer had that noise and visceral experience of proper “engines” then we wouldn’t miss them as much. Hey can’t make combustion engines seem appealing more than the milk float alternatives can we! Great video Joe finally sounds like it should
It's obvious. The EU pushed for regulations only for the purpose of switching away from combustion engines to an electric powerplant. The reasons aren't eco reasons, it's purely political. EU terrorists know that oil prices will probably spike because of something they're planning (hence why they're the first to know about it). So to prevent a collapse of vehicle travel because of some WW3 they're going to ignite...they're pushing for electric alternatives right now rapidly. Either that or oil is running out but they're keeping it low-key, because they don't want the dollar to collapse
@@EDKKPR I'm beginning to think the wrong side won WW2. "But Hitler was a prick!" - yeah..so was Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt. France also became terrorist pricks too not too long after WW2. Why is Hitler any worse? While the others are praised.
Totally agree. And in the clips with the original exhaust, the tyre noise is actually louder! What will they force upon us next, skinny wheels and tyres? I’m sick of these restrictions being forced on motorists of performance cars. The noise restrictions are taking the soul out of our cars. And like you say, conditioning us to electric “silence”.
I’ve got an F82 M4 Comp with a stock sports exhaust and I have to say that it sounds almost on par with your upgraded Milltek system, I get plenty of pops, crackles in Sports Plus. Honestly that is loud enough. To me it sounds purer, more natural through the rev range. I think for people generally commenting, if you haven’t heard both versions yourself it’s hard to make a judgement. Watching a TH-cam clip doesn’t really do justice to how a car sounds in person
Where are you located? There are pretty heavy noise restrictions where Joe is that causes BMW to essentially neuter the sound on their cars where he is.
@@SeanZherdev I’m in the UK as well. So with my F82, I didn’t realise how loud these cars are until I actually got mine, even with the stock sports exhaust it is loud enough throughout the rev range, sounds amazing
@@ravib3494 that’s awesome to hear. I feel like everyone I’ve seen from the UK has negatively commented on it, glad someone is finding it loud at stock. Enjoy your car in good health, thing is a beast!!
Another fantastic video Joe. When my dad had a Miltek system on his TT I really didn't pay a great deal of attention. He was raving on about it and I can see why now👍
Miltek is underrated, this car has woken up in a modest way, what a beautiful exhaust, shoutty enough to bring out the M3 to the party,it should have sounded this way from the factory...niceone, Joe..
You are getting an Xdrive????? ooohhhh now I like you even more for being brave enough to "rectify" the initial choice..... :) All the best my friend!!!! cant wait to get mine in March!!!!!
Sound is why we love combustion engines...look what happened to the F1 live experience in the hybrid era. Great Mod and......to companies like Milltek, we appreciate you :)
Wow that sounds amazing, love how similar it sounds to an E46. I know its all about taste but I don't know how a car enthusiast can live with a stock exhaust on any car!
@car crazy guy SA I just commented above before reading your comment. I disagree, I’ve got a F82 M4 comp, stock sports exhaust. Sounds fantastic, pure and natural. There is certainly nothing muffled about it and it is loud enough
Had a Milltek exhaust on my V5 Golf years ago. Sounded amazing. Sad to think that from 2030 no new internal combustion engine cars will be sold in the UK and exhaust modifications and the firms that make them will slowly die off.
Great to see the system on the car and making it all work for you. Happy miles until the xDrive arrives and you can swap it to the new one. Next is coding out the interior sound and installing the LEIB Engineering CAN bus module allowing you to switch the exhaust valves via the button on the dashboard among many other features 👊👊👊👊
Thanks for sharing, Joe. Oh my, now that sounds so much better! Fabulous product from Milltek. Just a pity we now need to spend extra to unleash a proper soundtrack on our cars.
I have a E46 M3 but I’m told I can’t have this standard exhaust fitted with a noise reducer (valve) inside because it is a 2006 model. Do you know different.
The design of the rear muffler is also part of the aerodynamic underfloor measures. Maybe it's not the prettiest but it does fill several functions in ways the Milltek system doesn't.
Going to get slated for this but prefer the stock exhaust - sounds like a 10 year old M3 with a broom handle stuffed up the exhaust to break the back box so it sounds louder - it’s like when a car like this drives past and you think knob…
Love the video (and I don’t think you’re a knob Joe) but I’m afraid I have to agree with you Steve. Definitely not a fan of the sound or look compared with the stock option.
I think the pipes are too big - looks a bit stupid. Noise? Milltek always seem to get a great sound without being too 'offensive'. Had one of their systems on my TTRS (OPF) and it was spot on.
Nice piece of kit, looks very good but, to me, only sounds marginally better. More noise, cracks and bangs, but still does not quite deliver the delicious metallic music we should get from a straight 6. Beyond the various exhaust filters imposed by regulations, there is a more fundamental issue with turbocharged engines which are the norm these days. They just sound rough. Interesting question below: does the manufacturer warranty still hold with this customised exhaust ? Insurance costs going up or not ? Keep up the good content Joe 👍
@@antonystarling Hum, Tony does like disgreements...you like noise, cracks and bangs, fair enough. As all quick modern turbocharged cars sound like that, you must be in paradise ! Not my cup of tea but that does not take away the quality of the craftmanship nor the gain in aesthetic. My opinion mate.
congrats on the exhaust but I don't like the sound try to get a valvetronic the sound is really something different. This is just louder and still sound like a vacuum cleaner
@@JoeAchilles1 and the drone inside is not too bad? BTW, great videos. You always do a great job on the commentary. It is enjoyable to watch. I used to watch a lot of Doug DeMuro, but his stuff gets stale after a few videos. Keep up the great work. Also a question, I am looking at a IS500, I am not sure you guys will be getting it in UK, and the M3, manual, and I just cannot make up my mind. One is NA one is manual, and each of those things attract me. My question is this, how is the BMW reliability in your experience?😁
Sounds good great improvement , though it’s no match for my b7 rs4 with a valved milltek but nothing touches a naturally aspirated engine. years ago a friend had an e36 328i with just an induction kit and that was one of the nicest engines I’ve heard.
Joe, considering you've now removed your gpf,you may as well get a stage 1 or 2 flash.I'd highly recommend wrench studio's/protuning freaks.You'll easily have one of the fastest g80's in the country This system though is amazing to say the least
What will be very interesting Joe is to know how you get yourself out of the RWD and into the X drive in such a short space of time, without being in negative equity on your pcp (if you’re on a pcp) and not losing shed loads of money on the depreciation. Having done many pcps over the years and also on m3’s which I currently have (g80 x drive 71 plate) I’ve always known one thing, you need to go relatively deep into the agreement otherwise you can bleed money on it.
@@jakewoolley9533 yes I’m sure you’re probably right, it’s certainly a crazy market and has been for a while. I’m sure Tony Lewis is looking after Joe as well 👍
Great content as usual. You mentioned that you was “brave” with your colour choice (car) - why is that ? The colour of your car is lovely but l wouldn’t say at all outrageous. More importantly it sounds epic - l have used Milltek several times and never disappointed and Scorpion once - quality great but a bit too conservative sound wise.👍
Totally agree, the car sounds fantastic.would love to remove my GPF.what happens when you need that mot,with no GPF fitted. You can’t keep removing/changing over exhausts,can you?.
Joe did you notice an improvement in turbo responce ? In top gear on the motorway, it feels like the turbo is spooling up much stronger about 400 rpm lower in the rev range. Before the turbo was spooling up around 1500 to 1600 rpm, after unblocking the exhaust, its like at 1200 to 1300 rpm there is some boost. Did you also get a small 3 to 4 mpg improvement ? Im comparing a long motorway run at 70mph before and after, improving by about 4mpg. Also love your channel and content. And the info on VRT and Vat taxes pushing up new car prices.
Your findings could well be true since you remove obstructions from the flow of the exhaust. The improvements in mpg are so difficult to determine. Those could well be a bit of a placebo feeling.

That is actually the reason why the db is forced to get lower, though I believe the authorities realise themselves soon it's not realistic in the end.

Makes such a difference Joe,and you get that unique BMW rasp on the up changes.Definitely worth having done.

Now that sounds like a proper m3 we'll done Joe
Sounds like a beast 💪

superb sound👍👍 but them exhaust tips look comical, but love the way BMW designed the exhaust so an after market could be fitted without any hassle 👌👌
