What Eisenmann offers for the M3 E46, what it costs, and what changes with a Rog system made from your M3's VIN.

Eisenmann and the M3 E46: what the catalogue says.

On its official online shop, Eisenmann offers for the M3 E46 coupé, and the M3 CSL, a rear silencer that bolts onto the original flanges, in a "Sport" or "Race" version, with four 76 or 83 mm tips. The rest of the original system stays in place.

The Rog system replaces everything after the manifolds, with valves; catalysed manifolds can be added as an option.

The price of Eisenmann on the M3 E46.

On the official Eisenmann online shop, at the retail price checked in November 2026 with German VAT, the "Sport" rear silencer for the M3 E46 coupé is listed from around €2,100, with a delivery time of 60 days stated at the time of checking.

At Rog, the price is shown on the product page: from €2,490 in stainless steel and €2,990 in titanium for the complete cat-back system, valves and remote included, with free delivery in 20 working days.

The S54 sound: your choice.

The M3 E46 gets the S54, a naturally aspirated 3.2-litre straight six with six individual throttle bodies: 343 hp and 365 Nm. The Rog system lets you choose:

• the character, at the same price: straight pipe for the raw sound of the six-cylinder, or resonator for a rounder, slightly softer voice;
• the material: 304 stainless steel, or titanium about 40% lighter for the same design (+ €500), in a brushed, gold or purple finish;

The BMW M3 E46 system in titanium: brushed, gold or purple.

• the control, at the same price: your original valves, refitted on the system and still controlled by the drive modes, or Rog valves already fitted, with their remote;
• the front section, as an option: 200-cell or 100-cell catalysed manifolds (+ €1,070), or decat (+ €710).

Valves open, the S54 goes from a hoarse growl to a metallic song, all the way to the howl at the end of each gear. Valves closed, the M3 returns to a calmer presence, without drone. The system fits without welding, with clamps and gaskets, in about two hours at the garage of your choice.

Four tailpipes, Rog tips with the engraved R: black, burnt titanium or polished stainless steel.

Frequently asked questions.

How much is the Eisenmann exhaust on the M3 E46?
On the official Eisenmann online shop (November 2026, German VAT), the "Sport" rear silencer for the M3 E46 coupé is listed from around €2,100, with a stated delivery time of 60 days. The valved Rog cat-back system is listed from €2,490, delivered in 20 working days.

My M3 E46 is a convertible: does the Rog system suit it?
Yes, the product page covers the M3 E46 coupé and convertible from 2004 to 2006. For an older car, send us the VIN: we check before manufacture.

Does the S54 need a remap?
Not for the cat-back. On this naturally aspirated engine, the map refines more than it transforms: the product page lists 383 hp and 410 Nm in Stage 2.

Can I keep the BMW valve control?
Yes, if your M3 has it: the system takes over their control. Otherwise, the Rog valves are operated with their remote, which is included.

Does the Rog system drone on the motorway?
No. With the valves closed, the gases flow through the whole rear silencer and the cabin stays calm at a steady speed.
