Today, it’s about a loud BMW M2, which became even louder, thanks to the Akrapovic Evolution Line titanium exhaust. It looks mean, it sounds meaner and it collaborates perfectly with the turbocharged V6 engine. What else could you wish for? Lightweight? Oh, it’s light, allright: being made of titanium, it looks hi tech, weigh less than the original and has that specific ”grrrr” sound.

However, as you can see in the film, there’s even more than just the exhaust. It’s also a new, lower KW Clubsport 3-way coilover suspension, which really transforms the M2’s stance. It looks way meaner then in its original form and it probably also drives better, but mainly on the track. On road, the distance between the BBS Flow Forming CI-R 20″ wheels and the fenders is so small, that I have doubts about its stability on bumpy surfaces. However, there are various ways of achieving the right setting for the suspension. Anyone can find the right setup in only few steps.

The engine is in its original form, but that’s ok, because 370 hp and 500 Nm of torque will satisfy almost anyone. On road, that’s a huge amount of power, and you won’t probably need it. In a race, though it’s not so much, but the engine is so easily upgradable, that it’s no problem squeezing 100 hp extra pretty fast and simple.

And while this just might be an off occurrence, brought on by the excitement of a new model, it is nice to see that the 4 Series Coupe is gathering such a following.

One of the latest aftermarket specialists that jumped aboard is Akrapovic. Best known for their high quality, high performance exhaust systems, they recently presented one of their items for the 435i. As usual with Akrapovic, along with the technical data on power improvement, they also attached sound files for both stock and tuned versions of the BMW 435i, even going so far as to provide a nice video.

Using the Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system, the BMW 435i will see an increase of 7 Hp at 5850 RPM, while torque is upped by 10.5 Nm at 3500 RPM. Of course, some weight was also shed, if only just 800 grams. No price yet, though. And for a taste of things to come, check out the video below.

Along with the audio files, both for the standard exhaust and the Akrapovic Evolution system, the aftermarket specialists also delivered a very nice little video showcasing their new product.

The Evolution exhaust system from Akrapovic is made from high grade materials like austenitic stainless steel and carbon fiber. Featuring two central pipes and a new design for the muffler, the exhaust system will also be using dual mode valves that will produce a standard sound at low rpm while delivering shivers at high rpm.

Over the stock system, the Akrapovic Evolution exhaust brings an improvement of 7 Hp and 11 Nm of torque while also reducing the weight by almost 1 kg. And the video presentation really outlines the best this product has to offer.
