BMW M240i (F22 LCI) 2016-2021 Coupe B58 Mid Pipe/Midpipe Centre/Center Section – Resonator (Res) Delete, Centre Silencer Removal, OPF/GPF/PPF Delete – Non-Resonated Straight-Through Performance Exhaust Upgrade

Transform the soundtrack of your F22 LCI BMW M240i 2016 to 2021 with a centre section upgrade that unlocks the B58 straight six. This mid-pipe replaces the factory middle silencer or OPF/GPF on later cars, giving a deeper tone, a sharper edge under load and the addictive burble, pops and bangs you want from a fast road and track-focused 2 Series.

Designed as a direct fit from the catalyst to just before the rear silencer, the 3 inch 76.2 mm mandrel-bent pipework improves gas flow and wakes up the car’s character without changing the rear box. Precision TIG-welded hangers deliver an OE-level fit and finish, and the kit includes the required fittings and gaskets so you can revert to stock if needed.

• Fitment: BMW M240i F22 LCI 2016 to 2021 coupe only not suitable for cabriolet
• Pipework: 3 inch 76.2 mm mandrel-bent centre section replaces the entire middle pipe
• Sound: deeper, more vibrant tone with enhanced burble on overrun and a 7.5 percent dB increase
• Construction: precision TIG-welded with robust hangers for an exact bolt-on install

• Fully guaranteed by the manufacturer for peace of mind

Why enthusiasts choose this mid-section for the M240i:

• Instant sound upgrade for the B58 without swapping the rear silencer
• Removes the restrictive OPF GPF PPF on later models or the centre silencer on earlier cars
• Improves exhaust flow for a more engaging drive
• Cost-effective alternative to a full cat-back while delivering the tone you want

Real-world results from our workshop: We have installed this upgrade for multiple M240i owners at MJ Modifications and customer feedback has been consistently positive. Clients love the richer note on acceleration, the cleaner rasp at higher revs and the subtle crackles on lift-off. It is the perfect res delete mid-pipe style solution for drivers who want more theatre without drone.
