The BMW E9X M3 remains one of the most iconic M platforms ever produced, powered by the legendary naturally aspirated S65 V8.

Version 2 of the Valvetronic Designs exhaust system introduces major improvements in both sound tuning and long-term reliability by utilizing proven vacuum-actuated valves. Constructed from premium T304 stainless steel with fully mandrel-bent tubing, this system allows drivers to switch instantly between a refined cruising tone and a raw motorsport-inspired S65 V8 soundtrack. Finished with premium burnt exhaust tips and designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade, this exhaust system delivers exotic sound, improved flow, and aggressive styling for the E9X M3 platform.
