M3 M Performance exhaust unboxing and review
Updated with my review:
Quote:
I picked up the recently released M Performance exhaust at a significant discount from the (pretty ludicrous) BMW list price through Steve Thomas BMW (thanks GOLFFRR) last week, and it arrived today. Wanted to show you guys some pics of the unboxing before I ship it off to EAS for ceramic coating. Enjoy. Packaging: ![]() More packaging: ![]() ID plate: ![]() Perforated interior: ![]() And finally, the laser engraved tips: ![]() I also picked up these as a bonus: ![]() I'm not sure why some of the images auto-rotated when I hosted them... I'll post up more pics of the finished exhaust installed on the car in a few days.

Nice! Good to see they retained the OE-style heat shields on the connecting pipes. Seems like it'd be pretty easy to just drop the muffler too...

Honestly - Steve Thomas BMW FTW,
I just love their attitude about pricing - screw MSRP, sell everything at a hair over cost, and build word of mouth business. They hooked up my Euro Delivery for 300 over invoice despite the fact that it took months and months of work to get right. I've seen Golffrr offer people the Performance Lip spoiler for COST, and now this.

David - can the exhaust be residualized on a new lease? Would it factor the same as any other option on the lease?

Except OEM probably abides by some dB laws ...if you get tagged for loud exhaust it's probably because it's too excessive haha

do you ever have anything positive to say? or are you just consistently negative about everything? every time i see you post its either harsh, critical, or insulting.
