Revolutionizing the Sound of the BMW G90 M5: A World-First by Valvetronic Designs
By: Brandon Arpin
At Valvetronic Designs, we’ve always been driven by a passion for engineering excellence and delivering unparalleled exhaust solutions. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a groundbreaking achievement: the development of the world’s first valved exhaust system for the BMW G90 M5. With this cutting-edge system, we’ve transformed the car’s exhaust note from a muted hum to an exhilarating symphony of performance.
The Challenge: From Vacuum Cleaner to V8 Sound
The BMW G90 M5 is a marvel of automotive engineering, combining luxurious comfort with blistering performance. However, one aspect left enthusiasts yearning for more: its exhaust note. Many described it as reminiscent of a vacuum cleaner—quiet, subdued, and lacking the character one expects from a car of this caliber. Our mission was clear: craft an exhaust system that adds depth, emotion, and personality, while preserving the versatility that makes the G90 M5 a joy to drive improving the overall driving experience.
Engineering Excellence: How We Did It
Creating an exhaust worthy of the G90 M5 required leveraging the latest technologies and assembling a team of highly skilled fabricators. Here’s how we brought this ambitious project to life:
- 3D Scanning: Using state-of-the-art 3D scanning, we captured every detail of the G90 M5’s undercarriage. This data was instrumental in crafting an exhaust system that integrates perfectly, avoiding any guesswork.
-
Advanced CAD Modeling: We began by meticulously designing the exhaust system in CAD, ensuring every component fit seamlessly within the car’s complex underbody architecture. This precision allowed us to optimize airflow and performance while maintaining compatibility with the M5’s factory setup.
-
Precision Fabrication: Our team of expert fabricators brought the design to life, utilizing high-quality materials to ensure durability and performance. Each weld, bend, and component was executed with meticulous attention to detail.
The Valvetronic Advantage: Sound on Demand
From factory, the G90 M5 actually doesn't have any valves. Making this car extremely quiet on the outside, and making the only exhaust note you hear FAKE! The exhaust sound stock is just pumped through the interior speakers. What sets this exhaust system apart is our signature valved technology. With electronic valves, drivers can toggle between two distinct modes:
-
Closed Valve Mode: Perfect for early morning starts or cruising through quiet neighborhoods, this mode offers a refined, subdued exhaust note.
-
Open Valve Mode: For spirited drives and track days, this mode unleashes the full potential of the G90 M5, delivering a powerful and aggressive exhaust note that truly brings the car to life.
The Result: A Symphony of Power
The result is nothing short of transformative. The G90 M5 now boasts an exhaust note that matches its performance pedigree. It’s louder, more dynamic, and infinitely more engaging, all while offering the versatility to adapt to any driving situation, really bringing out the F90 style sound from the twin turbo V8.
Why It Matters
The development of the first-ever BMW G90 M5 valved exhaust system underscores Valvetronic Designs’ commitment to innovation and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in automotive performance. For M5 owners, this means not only a more enjoyable driving experience but also the pride of knowing their car features a world-first upgrade.
