125i exhaust options

nocarknowledge · 09-05-2023, 01:41 AM

Hello, Im new to the forum and looking for advice on upgrading my stock exhaust for my 2013 125i e82 M sport (n52). I'm just looking for something that is slightly louder than stock and not too expensive. I think this leaves me with three options: bmw PE, magnaflow catback, or installing a muffler for the 135i (and pairing with res delete?). Btw all the exhausts I have found are for the 128i but from my understanding, my 125i is essentially just a 128i without a tune so Im assuming their stock exhausts are the same? Also would it be a good idea to just do a simple muffler delete? Any advice is appreciated.

I have the n55 135i muffler (a little louder) and res delete installed, I like it, I definitely would not want the car to be any louder.

I like my cars not too loud, what I did was had the muffler installed first and then revved the car a bit to see if I want to go louder with the res delete. Pretty happy so far, been running this for 3 years.

If you can find a PE people seem to really like them but they are hard to find.
