The Akrapovic S-BM/T/10H Slip-On Line is engineered specifically for the 2019 and 2020 BMW X3 M and X4 M (F97/F98) models equipped with the OPF/GPF particulate filter. The S-BM/T/10H replaces the factory rear muffler assembly with a lightweight titanium system that saves 3.9 kg while adding a verified +3 kW and +6 Nm to the twin-turbocharged S58 inline-six. The result is a sharper throttle response, a deeper and more aggressive exhaust character under load, and a cleaner visual presence at the rear of the vehicle. Tail pipes are required and sold separately. Tips are compatible with Akrapovic carbon fiber or titanium tip sets for the F97/F98 platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the S-BM/T/10H include exhaust tips?No. Exhaust tips are required and sold separately. The S-BM/T/10H is compatible with multiple Akrapovic carbon fiber and titanium tip sets designed for the F97/F98 X3 M and X4 M platform.
Will the S-BM/T/10H fit my 2019 BMW X3 M Competition?Yes. The S-BM/T/10H is engineered for the 2019 and 2020 BMW X3 M and X4 M (F97/F98) with OPF/GPF. Both Competition and standard M variants on the F97/F98 chassis are supported.
Does this slip-on fit the X3 M without OPF/GPF?No. The S-BM/T/10H is designed specifically for F97/F98 models equipped with the OPF/GPF particulate filter. Models without this filter require a different Akrapovic part number.

What are the confirmed power gains for the S-BM/T/10H?Akrapovic's dyno testing on the BMW S58 shows +3 kW at 5,050 rpm and +6 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm with the S-BM/T/10H installed on the stock engine and ECU.
Is the S-BM/T/10H street legal?The S-BM/T/10H Slip-On Line is designed for road use on F97/F98 models with OPF/GPF filters intact. Verify local noise and emissions regulations for compliance in your state or region.
How long does installation take?A professional technician familiar with Akrapovic slip-on systems typically completes installation of the S-BM/T/10H in 1 to 2 hours. All required hardware is included in the kit.
What is the lead time for the S-BM/T/10H?This is a special-order item. Typical lead time is 2 to 4 weeks from order confirmation. Contact us to verify current availability before ordering.
Installation Instructions
- Allow the vehicle to cool fully before beginning. The exhaust system retains heat after operation.
- Raise and support the vehicle securely on a lift or jack stands to gain safe underside access.
- Loosen and remove the factory muffler assembly clamps, heat shields and rubber hanger mounts. Retain OEM parts.
- Slide the factory muffler assembly off the mid-pipe and remove from the vehicle.
- Slide the Akrapovic S-BM/T/10H left and right titanium silencers onto the OEM mid-pipe connection points.
- Attach the provided Akrapovic clamps and position the rubber hangers on the factory mounting points.
- Install your chosen compatible Akrapovic tail pipe tip set onto the silencer outlets.
- Start the engine and inspect all joints for leaks. Retighten any hardware as needed.
- Conduct a test drive and re-inspect all connections after the first full heat cycle.
