A BMW 3.0 CSI Performance Exhaust is the definitive upgrade for the E9 chassis. The BMW 3.0 CSi (E9) remains one of the most iconic grand tourers ever produced. With its elegant pillarless coupe design and motorsport pedigree, the E9 remains a benchmark in classic BMW engineering.
Recently, Paramount Performance supplied a BMW 3.0 CSi performance exhaust system to a mail-order customer seeking to enhance both tone and flow while preserving the character of this classic machine. When upgrading a car of this calibre, authenticity and craftsmanship matter.
Why Upgrade the BMW 3.0 CSi Exhaust?
Original BMW E9 exhaust systems were designed around 1970s manufacturing standards and period compliance requirements. They are restrictive. Decades of use also mean most original units are now suffering from internal corrosion.






A modern BMW 3.0 CSi performance exhaust upgrade offers clear advantages:
- Improved Exhaust Flow: Optimised internal silencer design reduces backpressure.
- Corrosion Resistance: High-grade stainless steel construction ensures longevity compared to mild steel originals.
- Sharper Throttle Response: Faster expulsion of gases allows the M30 straight-six to breathe more freely.
- Refined Soundtrack: A deeper and more purposeful inline-six note that remains faithful to the car’s heritage.
The goal is not to modernise the car. It is to refine and preserve the mechanical driving experience.
Respecting the Character of the BMW E9

The BMW 3.0 CSi’s naturally aspirated straight-six engine is central to its appeal. Any exhaust upgrade must complement that smooth mechanical tone rather than overpowering it. A carefully selected BMW E9 sports exhaust system enhances the driving profile:
- Low-end Warmth: A richer sound at idle and low speeds.
- Mid-range Resonance: Clearer acoustic feedback during spirited driving.
- Classic Straight-six Note: Retaining the signature BMW “growl” under acceleration.
This is a subtle performance enhancement. It provides a more evocative sound without losing the refinement that defines the 3.0 CSi.
