Is it that dealers do not want to fit the kits or the kits cannot physically be fitted to the post July cars due to a change of design in the new cars? Could the exhaust system be fitted not through BMW? If it can't, what exhaust system and ECU would people recommend?

Thanks

Thanks. Since i can't put the M Performance Exhaust on, what's the next best alternative for an exhaust system?

Remus exhausts seem to be quite popular, similar sounding

Seems the MPE is sold separately to the MPPK, priced ~£700 and £1200 respectively, supplied only. (.35 engine)

Didn’t bother getting main dealer quotes as my insurer seems to be anti mods, literally listing acceptable items and anything else isn’t to be done.

Stainless steel exhaust is on the list, so for sound purposes I can go with the MPE but as for the power jump probably not until renewal.
