Yeah what did it cost and who installed it?

Can you takes take any videos clips?

Do you guys think the sound would change much on a 320d?

Awesome, thanks for the pics and would love to see some videos.

How long did it take them to order the stuff in, and how long to fit it?

I take it this fits a 2014 F30 320d but the sound might be a little different?

It took 7 days to get it from Germany as it was on back order.
Left the car morning and collected at 4pm today.

Yes it will fit f30 320d but it's a diferent part number as pipe sizes are diferent and control module is diferent.

I guess the sound will be still very good but not sure how loud comparing to 330d.

Whats the part number for yours, my dealer can probably use it to find the 320d variation.

Ah so they have to order the 3 parts as separate, there isn't one part number for the whole kit.

I assume they do order 3 separate parts but when ordering they need to come as set.
They only giving separate numbers in case one is faulty so you don't replace whole exhaust if control module fails.

It is kinda tempting, especially with my car remapped with its faster revs etc could sound nice!

Hmmmm to do, or not to do lol

Be cool to see your videos though, not seen anyone on this forum yet show any videos of this mod.

Did you get a good deal on the parts, most places online are quoting £1500, did you get it down from that. Like what was the price of parts and then the cost of fitting broken down?

First price quoted was £1860 fitted
Got it for £1543 so nearly 20% off

To be honest with You. I wanted that exhaust as soon as they released it. But been informed it's only for Facelifted models.

Tried again after 6 months and this time it fits my car lol.

I just wanted to have some exhaust note coming out of my car. Being 300bhp car and looking good, that was all I was missing.
But I never expected it to be so freaking loud.

If you seriously considering it- get it.
You will love it.

It feels like I'm driving diferent car now. Honestly.

I cant wait to start it up tomorrow and drive around the street with no reason 😂😂

So you just haggled to get the price down?

Also regarding LCI/Facelift, it was originally just for these cars but now you have it fitted on your pre-LCI car?

No mate.

When asked about it, they told me original price and than what they can do for me as I bought a new car from them.

Exhaust was good for all f30 from the beginning.
As it was new product and BMW dealer was probably scared to try and fit it, they informed me it wont fit.

Now after months, same product fits fine, cause they know what to do 😂😂

Ah right as lots of websites out there are still selling the LCI and the pre-LCI version, so I take it they are just waiting to sell their stock and then list as just 1 version!?

I phoned snows BMW today they quoted me £1850 same as your first quite really. Now to try and get them down.

Today's video

Few things to remember.
Recorded with iphone 7 so not best sound quality really.
Tried my best.

Please use some headphones or good speakers to appreciate the sound.
Best sound is under load. When driving it's much louder and more burble coming out of it.
I would say double the volume of what you can hear on this video.

Thanks
