Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

What is the diameter of the exhaust pipes on the 2019-Present BMW X5?

The 2019-Present BMW X5 features dual exhaust pipes with a diameter of 80mm (3.15 inches) for the standard trim. The M Performance models may have a slightly larger diameter, typically 85mm (3.35 inches), to accommodate increased exhaust flow.

What type of exhaust system does the BMW X5 use?

The BMW X5 utilizes a stainless steel exhaust system with a dual-pipe configuration. It includes a muffler, catalytic converters, and resonators designed to optimize exhaust flow, reduce backpressure, and meet emissions standards. The M Performance models may feature a sport exhaust system with enhanced acoustics.

How often should the exhaust system be inspected?

BMW recommends inspecting the exhaust system every 30,000 miles or during routine maintenance intervals. Look for signs of corrosion, leaks, or damage to the pipes, muffler, and hangers. Immediate inspection is required if unusual noises, such as rattling or hissing, are detected.

Can I install an aftermarket exhaust system on my BMW X5?

While aftermarket exhaust systems can be installed, BMW strongly recommends using genuine BMW parts or approved aftermarket components to ensure compatibility and performance. Non-approved systems may void the vehicle's warranty, affect emissions compliance, or compromise safety.

What is the exhaust backpressure specification for the BMW X5?

The exhaust backpressure for the 2019-Present BMW X5 should not exceed 0.5 psi (3.45 kPa) at idle and 2.0 psi (13.79 kPa) at 2,500 RPM. Excessive backpressure can indicate a blockage or malfunction in the exhaust system.
