I just heard that Akrapovic for the F30 is planned, but development won't start until 2013 and it takes a couple of months. So we are speaking almost a year from now to get one.

Is there really any alternatives in terms of fit, finish, sound and quality?

I have used Akrapovic since the 90's on my motorcycles and they really are a notch above the rest there so I'm guessing they ain't to bad on the car side either.

What other lightweight systems are available?

And I am not talking about Meistershaft or something like that now. Akrapovic puts 4-5 months in to making the best possible system, so I am not looking for something that a company put 2 weeks on doing.
