Introduction to the Akrapovic BMW M240i (G42) Slip-On Line S-BM/T/32H
The Akrapovic BMW M240i (G42) Slip-On Line S-BM/T/32H is designed to enrich your driving adventures with enhanced power, torque, and a thrilling exhaust note. Constructed from lightweight titanium, this system cuts 4.0 kg for a 22.8% reduction in rear-end mass. Because it replaces the factory setup, installation is straightforward. The result is sharper handling and a captivating engine soundtrack, especially when pushing the carโs limits. Moreover, the tailpipes are hand-crafted carbon fibre, which merges lightness and an aggressive look.
Performance Gains and Technical Highlights
At 2,450 rpm, the Akrapovic BMW M240i (G42) Slip-On Line S-BM/T/32H delivers an extra 9.7 horsepower and 20.5 Nm over the stock exhaust. These improvements become apparent during spirited acceleration and mid-range pulls. Additionally, this Slip-On Line features:
- Dual valves for precise sound tuning
- TNG controller for the additional exhaust valve
- Two resonators on each side of the central muffler
These elements combine to achieve dynamic performance while retaining everyday comfort.
Dual-Valve Configuration and Acoustic Reflectors
Most OEM systems rely on a single valve, but Akrapovic uses two valves to tailor the exhaust note at varying revs. Under gentle driving, the tone remains smooth and subdued, free from intrusive droning. When you drive more enthusiastically, the valves open further, releasing a powerful, sporty note. Furthermore, the brand uses two acoustic reflectors at the tailpipes to direct some of the exhaust sound into the cabin. This creates a more immersive experience, heightening your connection to each gearshift and throttle input.
Control Your Sound with the Optional Akrapoviฤ Sound Kit
For those who crave total control over their exhaustโs personality, an optional Akrapoviฤ Sound Kit (P-HF1452) lets you adjust the systemโs valves from inside the cockpit. Shift between a mellow note for relaxed commutes and a more forceful roar whenever you feel like enjoying the vivid performance of the BMW M240i. This kit offers:
- Adjustable valve positions
- Enhanced cabin interaction
- Plug-and-play compatibility
Remember that using the Sound Kit may alter how the system is perceived for regulatory compliance, so consult local guidelines.
ECE Approval and Installation Requirements of Akrapovic BMW M240i (G42) Slip-On Line S-BM/T/32H

The product fits easily in around 210 minutes. However, an extra stock valve actuator (part no. 18 30 8 686 640) is mandatory for the BMW M240i (G42) to ensure proper functionality of both valves. Once installed, the system seamlessly integrates with your carโs electronics.
Carbon-Fibre Tailpipes for an Exquisite Look
Beyond the performance advantages, the carbon-fibre tailpipes lend a sporty, high-end finish to your BMW M240iโs rear profile. They blend aesthetics and function, staying cool under heavy driving and resisting discoloration. Each tailpipe is carefully hand-crafted to match the Slip-On Lineโs aggressive stance, reinforcing the premium feel associated with an Akrapovic upgrade.
