Exhaust BMW X5

Exhaust systems for the BMW X5 vary by generation and engine type. Options include factory OEM parts, stainless steel sport cat-back systems, and custom-made exhausts with performance valves. These systems offer improvements in horsepower, torque, and weight reduction while maintaining European homologation standards.

The common material used is high-quality stainless steel, specifically AISI 304 (T304) and INOX 409, known for its durability and corrosion resistance. These stainless steels ensure long-lasting performance and are CE and ECE-R90 certified where applicable.

Options vary by generation and engine:

• E53 (1999-2006): Stainless steel duplex silencers and cat-back lines with plug & play installation.
• E70 (2006-2013): Full stainless steel lines compatible with 3.0d engines and OEM-style exhaust collectors.
• F15/F85 (2013-2018): Custom valvetronic cat-back exhausts, Akrapovic system for V8 bi-turbo engines, and race catalytic converters available.
• G05/G06 (2019+): Stainless steel cat-back systems with valves, including options to remove DPF.

Each system is designed for optimal performance and sound control according to engine and model specifics.

Yes, several exhaust systems for the BMW X5 feature valve control technology. These valves, often remotely controlled via Wi-Fi or a dedicated controller, enable the driver to modify exhaust flow and sound profile for comfort or performance driving modes.

• Valvetronic designs for models like the X5 M F85 enable sound tuning.
• Some valve systems integrate plug & play hardware compatible with factory vehicle controls.

This technology balances factory-level control with sporty exhaust sound and performance benefits.

Yes, many aftermarket and upgraded exhaust systems provide measurable increases in horsepower and torque, as well as reduce overall system weight compared to stock parts. For example, an Akrapovic exhaust system can add approximately 3.9 kW of power and 8.4 Nm of torque while shedding about 15 kg of weight.

• Improved exhaust flow optimizes engine breathing and throttle response.
• Weight reduction contributes to better handling and efficiency.

Performance gains vary based on the specific engine and exhaust configuration.

Installation is generally plug & play for many exhaust systems, with all necessary mounting hardware and gaskets included. However, some models and engines, such as those with M57 or N57 diesel engines, might require specific adaptations or software tuning for optimal performance and emissions compliance.

• Ensure the exhaust system matches your BMW X5 generation and engine type.
• Check for compatibility with factory valves and sensors.
• Professional installation recommended to avoid warranty issues.

Always verify parts fitment using your vehicle’s VIN and consult authorized professionals for installation.

Yes, exhaust systems intended for street use are CE and ECE-R90 certified where applicable, ensuring compliance with European emission and safety regulations. Catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters (DPF) are designed to match manufacturers' specifications to maintain low emissions levels.

• All catalytic converters replace original parts and are rated for vehicle Euro standards (Euro 4, 5, or 6).
• DPF-equipped vehicles should have exhaust components compatible with factory regeneration systems.
• Aftermarket parts must not compromise legal operation or inspection compliance.

Non-compliance can result in penalties and vehicle inspection failures; always choose certified exhaust parts.

Exhaust components, including catalytic converters and DPFs, are covered by a 3-year warranty with use limitations up to 100,000 kilometers. Proper installation by certified professionals using correct methods and replacement of related sensors and gaskets is required for warranty validity.

• Support is available via technical teams for compatibility checks and installation assistance.
• Warranty covers factory defects but excludes damage from misuse or clogged filters.
• Free returns within 30 days may apply for unused products returned in original packaging under specific conditions.

Contact customer support for claims, detailed installation manuals, or technical inquiries to optimize your vehicle’s exhaust performance and longevity.
