2024 G87 M2 Build with Akrapovic Comparison

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

After owning my 2024 Toronto Red G87 for about a year (after owning a 2020 F87), I decided it was time to change it up a bit.

Details:
Akrapovic Exhaust & Link Pipe with Carbon Tips
Akrapovic Carbon Rear Diffuser
SST Exhaust Flap Control
AutoTecknic Carbon Center Bumper Trim V1 in Red
Adro Carbon Front Grill
Indiv Carbon Front Air Inlet Set
Alpha-N Carbon GT Front Lip
Akrapovic Carbon Adjustable Rear Swan Neck Wing
Eventuri Carbon Intake System
Motorsport+ CSL Yellow DRL LED Module
IND Painted Front Reflector Set
IND M2 Gloss Black Painted Front and Trunk Emblem
Rogue Engineering Short Shifter Kit
IND Carbon Floating Wheel Center Cap
IND Carbon BMW Roundel Set
3D Design Aluminum Pedal Set - Manual
CDV Removal
Window Tint

A comparison between the stock exhaust and the Akrapovic can be found here.

In short, I love the change - it can be really quiet when I need to be and loud when I want.

Sounds great.

But, I cannot justify Akrapovic prices.

Looks good but needs lower and spacers or lower offset aftermarket wheel set up to reduce that gap and tie together with all those nice mods.

Nice! I'm curious what the full system sounds like with catted downpipes or catless.

Sounds great, but I’d love to hear it with some not so normal driving with the valves open

Send it… 💨

You’re not wrong these G series cars come like they’re sitting on shipping blocks

Perfection - still made better by Akrapovic infusion. Sharp!

I somehow think it’s better than what BMW is selling under the ///M Performance brand

It is better for sure but if you have to take a second mortgage on your house to get one I dunno...

I agree wholeheartedly… 💰

best exhaust brand hands down, nothing like it out there. Their fitment is 100 percent OEM. Nothing to adjust or wires to zip tie.

Yes indeed

I’d love to hear some full throttle runs… 💨

I drive it year round in Canada so snow clearance is a consideration... Fully agree that the look improves considerably with a few changes there.

I'll see if I can get this done this weekend. It snowed this morning and still have the summers on but it is supposed to be nice later this week.
