Even more so, I don't know if they know how and are willing to install those other components. Does this dealership have special experience in installing these exhausts? Also, does one need both the lambda adapter and CEL delete kit? Thanks.
I am also quite surprised that BMW is installing an aftermarket product for a customer. Now that's service!

I am the lucky owner of the Frozen Gray M3 in the pictures showing the BMW of Murray shop. It arrived at the dealer two weeks ago yesterday and I must admit, the first time I saw the car, it was in a dark garage and dirty and I wondered if I had made a good choice. However, I had many plans to do some upgrades. My favorite was the Akrapovic cat back installation, which the dealer completed for me. As the pictures show, it looks awesome and the sound quality is even better than the improved looks. It has an aggressive edge without being too intrusive at freeway speeds. I am completely happy! Alek at alekshop.com was great to work with and I would recommend him to anyone interested in the Akrapovic products.
We then pulled the stock competition wheels, as seen in the photos, and sent them out to be powder coated satin black. I also had all the chrome parts-side gill insert, M3 insignia on the trunk-painted black. The windows have been tinted and the chrome grill inserts have been swapped for black ones. I also added carbon fiber mirror covers that offset the CF roof nicely. When I went to pick up the car last Friday, I couldn't believe the transformation. The car looks absolutely fantastic! The paint is different enough to really catch your eye but not flashy in any way. Very stealth and subtle yet those with an appreciation for the unique looks are totally awe-struck. I will get some photos of the completed car and post them.

Im excited to see the pictures. I got to see it while it was in the shop when I was picking up a car from Murray. But that was with all of the pieces taken off of it! Maybe we can get you to come to a meet and show that thing off!
