BEST SOUNDING BMW G42 M240i!! Full Valvetronic Exhaust + GESi Downpipe

[@automar8497]

This is the best sounding BMW. Better than any other G8x/G20. This is what the M3 should have been. Not an M5 body with a TT. You guys need to get this car back for more content. The perfect spec with ZTK package and black/taco red.

Best sounding BMW are the planes they manufactured in the 1900s. The second best is any M5 from any era. Then maybe E92. This is not the best sounding bmw

I absolutely need one of these now that exhaust combo is perfect and sounds much better than the actual Ms

[@bimmermann18]

Just picked up one of these, but for my M340i and installed this past weekend. With the AA downpipe and Valvetronic setup, I'm finding ways to take the longer routes 😅 Assembly and fitment was spot on. If you live in a neighborhood with close proximity houses, valves closed definetly sounds stock enough to not upset your neighbors at 5AM...

so outside of the exhaust setup are you tuned or is stock

@ 6 Months in and I can report no CEL/ or light popping up. Even with the valves closed,(normal driving mode) the AA downpipe gives a bit of bass.

Sounds dope. I am between doing a downpipe on my G42, full catback, both, or waiting and getting a manual M2 in a year or two and doing a full catback on that....I annoyingly just bought a house though 😑

[@valvetronic]

@@LitleBear hey there, this is Austin. I’ve had the pleasure of driving both of those cars extensively and I must be completely transparent, I think I prefer the G42. It just feels more exciting. I’m not exactly sure why but definitely do the downpipe and the exhaust.

[@LitleBear]

@@valvetronic Good to know brother. Keep up the good work. I am thinking just the cat back is enough for a fun daily without annoying my GF/neighbors too much.

[@valvetronic]

@@LitleBear it’s a good start for sure! Did the cat back first and you can always add the downpipe later to increase the volume. This is always what we recommend! Looking forward to you enjoying

[@cmoney360CS]

Does this give the same burbles as 2025 m2/m4 comp? I test drove those and fell in love with the stock burbles, sounded like the car was spitting fire Edit: I think @6:18 answered my question😂

Awesome content fellas. Any chance of doing some content with a golf 8r. This is definitely on my radar as a potential mod. Tah

[@Murkman_D]

Yeah I need that… so the bolt on tips is that because you can not run them and leave the exhaust pieces? Because not a fan of that bolt on look. Or I guess you could weld em if you don’t burn the carbon??

[@infinite562]

I wish there was a way to open the valves 1/2 ways just to be barely legal with exhaust sound laws

[@misrble]

sounds good better than m3

[@TheWwhhiizzzz]

How does valve closed inside compare to stock (non M performance)?

[@valvetronic]

@@TheWwhhiizzzz it’s actually quieter than stock, we believe in engineering exhaust system that gives the ultimate experience on both ends. Making the car even more reserved and relaxed when in the comfort mode with the vowels closed and a much more exciting rock experience when the valves are open in sport plus

[@CalvinWillys]

Wow! いいね 👍

[@skua_legend1297]

do you need to get the same down pipe so it sounds like that?

[@ronnietherapper2477]

[@blocksource4192]

Hey, I am debating whether to save a few months more and get a M3 or just go for a m340i with all options. What would you recommend? What are the pros of one and losses of the other? You produce exhausts, do you think a 340i would sound better or a m3.

[@jdbsoccer100]

If M3 is an option and you aren’t stretching yourself financially, that’s the move. I love my M240i but the S58 is another beast

Has to be an earlier model as it doesn't have that large rectangle dash.

I am certain it is a matter of time to get caught by police if it is such loud on public roads.

Thats why you close the valves ;)

[@2seep]

Still sounds so average. Sucks that the b58 is an undersquare design which doesn’t allow it to rev high when built.

No denying the execution but modern BMW engines sound terrible, (even with this exhaust). Dunno what they are thinking.
