My Manual M135i

[SMT]

It has FINALLY arrived. My 2016 Facelift M135i and it's in Manual, literally been turning the internet upside down trying to find this car and its finally here. (PICS IN POST BELOW)

Probably only seen about 3 Manuals in the year I have searched for this car, why are they so scarce. Manuals are the BEST!!!

Probably the first question I want to pick everyone's brains is about the M performance exhaust. Does anyone in the northern suburbs have one fitted that I could come to listen too?

I've called around different dealerships with different responses about the installation. Could anybody recommend the best dealer to go to, or even knows of one that is for sale from someone on the Forum? Is the maintenance plan still intact if you fit a used M Performance back box?

Then the second question is around the after-sale parts I've seen but have no clue where to find anything, is there a place that BMW has a catalogue with aftersales parts?

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks errbody

Congrats man!
Manuals are hard to come by because that 8 speed box is really a gem, but Manual is the one!
You can't go wrong with the M Performance exhaust, you really won't regret the spend!
Once you have a DP on, you have one of the best sounding 6 cylinders on the market! raise:
Many happy miles mate!

That's brilliant! Glad that you found 1 in manual.
I'm with upNcoming! You won't regret MPE and DP. Can't wait to see some pics of this car...
Check out Shop.bmw.co.za you input your vin and can browse through parts, just a heads up this site can be frustrating at times due to the slowness

Couldnt be happier with it, EI get a bigger grin everytime i drive it.

Does the M Performance Back box have alot of drone on the highway. Is there a big difference between normal mode and Sport/Sport + with this box?

Anyone have one installed i can come listen to??

I have m performance exhaust coupled with a downpipe and mid pipe and absolutely no drone....although m performance box alone has a very deep note to it... but once you put a downpipe and mid pipe it gets even louder just i find it looses abit of that deep growl with the mid pipe... but still sounds flippin awesome... no need to turn on the radio any longer

Awesome, thanks. I'm thinking the M Performance back box while the plan is still intact and then I'll have to pick your brain down the line.

Howsit, 

Do you work for BMW Bryanston?

We already have ABM as a partner for paid advertising.

Does anyone know where I can find an M Performance back box for my car. I've tried both BMW Sandton and Bryanston and they are both saying there are non in the country!!

Will my warranty be penalised if I fit a second-hand m performance box?
