Will 07-10 exhaust fit a 2011?

Hey guys, found an exhaust that I want to install on my car, but its built for07-10 model M3,

My M3 is a 2011 however.... So will it fit ? If not, are the neccessary modifications easy to fix in order for it to fit?

Any info would be helpful!

Thanks!!

Identical system! I regularly switch exhausts with my friend, mine is a '10 and his is a '08. There isn't anything different accept the length of the tips on the back-box. As long as its from the same shape (EG: Coupe to Coupe) then you will have no problems what so ever

I can't remember in which order but are the E93 (Convertible) tips the longest? and the E92/91 are the same?

You are switching between 08 and 10 meaning it is the same,

when you search for exhaust it comes 07-10 as one category, and 11-13 as another.

I want to put an 08 exhaust on a 11...

Also its off a convertible, my car is coupe

Still the same, as long as its for the correct body shape then the it doesn't matter the year of the car. Identical systems. I'm sure more people will chime in and put you're mind to rest if you don't believe me.

Then it won't fit properly at all, the tips will either be to long or too shorts. It will look AWFUL. It must be from the same E9X shape.

length of the tips is different from years?

I think you are mistaken. E93 and E92 use the same exhaust. The only difference in an e93/92 in the exhaust setup is the triangular brace bar underneath e93's. This prevents you from running some aftermarket exhausts like the Megan.

The tips on E90 are shorter, but e93/92 are swappable. I have swapped an E92 OEM exhaust onto my car without problem.

This man knows!

I knew one shape was different, i guess its logical that the saloon shape has different length tips as the back end is pretty different.

OP - It looks like you're ok! It should fit

Not throughout the years, just between the shapes. The Saloon has shorter tips, ///M3THOD just cleared that up.
