Well the cost is 3430 x 81% (we don't pay VAT) x 1.35 $/Euro = $3750 retail, hopefully we get some discount, but still costly.

Group buy?

I got the impression that BMW doesn't just blindly apply a 1.xx conversion rate for these things - according to what I've seen, the MSRP is roughly the same but expressed in $.

If that's the case, and taking out the 19% VAT, the MSRP would be around $2800. At under $3k MSRP and $2400-2500 street price, they are going to sell quite a few, it's ballpark for a quality M3 exhaust these days.

What a bargain...I'll take 2..

You and I seem to always be laughing at exhaust systems

Depends the power it can produce for a cat-back. If it sounds better than the Akra, then it might be an option...still a little too pricey

74mm tip? That's definitely not big enough.

That's what she said!

Will this come with connecting pipes or do we need to cut the stock exhaust? Perhaps Tischer will have a good price on this at some point.

I would guess it is a bolt on.

For reference, the e92 Performance Exhaust (non-M) is a cut n clamp.

We'll see once this is released.

That blows. BMW should have a bolt-on replacement.
