Question AWE Quad on 320i (M3 conversion installed)

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and got my first used 320i that has M3 conversion installed.
The exhaust system has been upgraded by recent owner and it comes with quad outlet. I'm going to replace that by AWE exhaust but seems like the quad outlet just supports for 328i or 330i. Is it possible to have an adapter to fit the AWE quad to my F30?

You'll be able to get it to fit with minor adjustments. I'd be more worried about getting the tips aligned with the new diffuser

+1. Exhaust 100% won't fit. The AWE quad is for an M Sport bumper. I'm not aware of any exhaust built for the M3 Rep Bumper besides the Mars Performance one from Australia. It doesn't sound very impressive though. Your only option aside from that is to go the custom exhaust route. It's why I went with the M Sport rear bumper when I did the M3 front bumper.

I just wish you can measure the diffuser against an M3 diffuser from center. If this measurement is the same there should be a possibility the exhaust tip will be at the proper place. But hanger points for the exhaust is another thing to worry about

Yes, so in the end it won't work. Need a custom exhaust.

So, only sort of related... I'm in the process of planning a rear diffuser that will fit to my 2015 F31 base bumper and accommodate the AWE Quad tip exhaust. My intention is to design a more subtle version of the F10 M5 diffuser to be fitted by cutting out the molded "panel" from the base bumper and mount the diffuser in from behind, giving a unique, sporty appearance without the FuManChu mustaches of the M-Sport rear bumper. I'll be thermoforming these from ABS. Although I'm doing this as a fun project for myself, Once I get closer to starting, I may post up to see if anybody is interested in the set up.

(new here, so can't post reference pics yet)
