They've never done an OEM exhaust mod on an E90, but given their experience, it shouldn't be a problem. I'll post a video and update this evening when I pick it up.
Cool. Thanks.

On a separate but related note, I got a quote this morning from Performance Bimmer in Raleigh for rod bearings and new motor mounts (they say they are typically shot when they go in to do the bearings and they're right there anyway) when doing the RB's.

$3100.

I wanted to go ahead and get the price from them because that's going to be the first thing I get done.
Not sure about Motor Mount cost, maybe it's the difference here, but I got a quote from Motorsport Connections for $2,200 for RBs using the recommended bearings and bolts I read about here.. They didn't mention mounts, so not sure if they assumed they were ok... good to know though so I can ask.
