Eisenmann Exhaust Systems GmbH has been a leader in hand built, German made exhaust systems for BMW M cars since the company’s inception in 1988. These decades of experience grant Eisenmann perspective in designing exhaust systems, granting Eisenmann engineers the ability to create the best exhaust systems possible again and again. After so many years of experience as the best exhaust manufacturer in the world, however, the ability to reinvent and remain creative becomes of paramount importance. The new X5M Eisenmann Race system represents precisely that ability, and is a new approach for Eisenmann.

We worked hard to give our clients a multitude of choices for the new super SUVs, and so have created two completely different styles of exhaust system with Eisenmann. The Eisenmann Race exhaust system is designed specifically to maximize power output and exhaust note while maintaining the lowest possible exhaust system weight. The original BMW muffler is deleted and two high flow resonators are put in its place, allowing Eisenmann to tune the exhaust note while minimizing restriction.

Each race system is hand-built from 304 stainless steel, and is available with either four 102mm steel tips, or four 90mm carbon fiber tips. The race system will showcase Eisenmann’s signature flawless fitment and sound, along with a dramatic weight savings that is always welcome on this large SUV.

Similar to the standard carbon tips we introduced a few years ago, this Gold Series edition carbon outer shell is CNC-laid 100% carbon construction. But instead of the standard silver inlay, a strikingly vibrant gold appears—a finishing that utilizes real gold material to achieve a lasting impression—both for the exhaust and the slew of onlookers its sure to attract.
