Best place to get 335i MPE

I read about all these members getting steals on these exhausts through dealers. Where's the cheapest place to get one these days? Thanks in advance, Cheers!

Cheapest seem to be on eBay. They sell for $999 new pretty regularly. With the discounts that run pretty regularly (such as this past Wednesday) it would come down to $899 for part 18302354340. That’s for a 335i which is listed on OP, not the 328i listed as your drive.

There is one now for $775 plus $100 shipping with no bids and ends in about 36 hours.

What are the “steals” people are claiming?

Seriously doubt that’s true.

If someone posted that, why don’t you ask them?

Keep an eye out on the forum. Scored mine off a local guy for 550 then I sold the tips for 90 (bent and scratched). All in all I say that's a good deal!

2 years ago. And you reused your old tips as well, so still not seeing anything close to $750 with tips.

Prices have risen since then.

$899 vs $789 is in line with increases. In fact if they charged $100+ for shipping, as some others on eBay are, its about equal.

BMW Dealers in smaller cities might have ordered and customer backed out. After sitting on shelf for who knows how long, they probably just wanted it gone.

The eBay auction ending in 18 hours includes chrome tips and blows that price away, fwiw.

And no one purchased it.

Great price for MPE With Tips, IMO.

People will be looking for this deal in future.

Anything's possible with the right exhaust shop. It wouldn't take too much fabrication to make it work. I doubt it would make much noise though.

Best price new on MPE or really ANY BMW parts seems to be, Brian at SunmotorsBMW. They do have an eBay store, but if you email directly his prices are usually $5-10 cheaper than even their listed eBay prices AND includes shipping!

They're in PA and always ship same day and has ALWAYS been better price on parts than any of the other forum vendors.

Brian is the best. It's a tossup between direct or eBay if you get an eBay coupon that works jump on it. Brian + eBay coupon you are literally not going to do better ever.

$10 less than the other MPE on eBay priced at $999.

So with eBay coupon, $899 would still win

However, the new MPE that I pointed out and everyone passed on with new tips for $900 total blew all those away.

Agreed. Those 15-20% codes on eBay seems to come about once a month. If you don't mind waiting you definitely can not beat it.
