Valvetronic Designs T304 Stainless Valved Sport Exhaust System - 2020+ BMW X5 M & X6 M (F95/F96)
This Valvetronic Designs system is a full 3.0" T304 stainless valved sport exhaust for the BMW F95 X5 M and F96 X6 M, diameter held at 3.0" from inlet to outlet. A centrally mounted X-pipe merges the exhaust pulses from both banks for a more harmonized tone as revs climb, and Valvetronic Designs settled on an unresonated design after testing because it delivered the stronger result.
The valves are the manufacturer's factory-style electronic units, so control stays inside your car's own drive modes with nothing extra to install or carry. Valvetronic Designs publishes this system as fitting both the S63 and the S68 V8, and it's a 100% bolt-on, reversible replacement for the factory exhaust.
Important Compatibility Information
BMP also carries this system in Grade 5 titanium for this same platform.
Why Upgrade
The centrally mounted X-pipe is the design choice that sets this system apart: it merges the pulses from both banks into one harmonized tone rather than leaving the two sides running independently. Full 3.0" flow and an unresonated design were chosen specifically for a more engaging result after Valvetronic Designs tested both resonated and unresonated configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fit both the S63 and S68 engine?
Yes, Valvetronic Designs publishes this system as fitting both.
Do I need a separate remote for the valves?
No. This system reuses the factory electronic valves, so control stays inside your car's own drive modes.
Does this include the downpipes?
No. This system bolts to your OEM or an aftermarket downpipe; downpipes are sold separately. The demo video above was filmed with the manufacturer's free-flow downpipes fitted, which BMP does not stock for this platform.
Is titanium available for this platform?
Yes, BMP carries a titanium version of this same system separately, with its own published weight-saving figure.
Which tip finish should I choose?
All finishes use the same exhaust system; the difference is cosmetic and, on the carbon fiber finish, tip outlet diameter. If you're unsure which fits your build, contact your BMP Tuning rep.
