Question about downpipe for 320

Which downpipe you have on your f30 320 xdrive? (For bolt on fit)
I can use a 328 aftermarket downpipe ? Because i think that the exhaust is bigger on 328.

I would check out VRSF for a downpipe, I recently was in touch with Tiago at VRSF and was provided AMAZING service.

You just need to find out if you have a n20/n26 and buy it. Piping on 320i is NOT different I believe, 328i to 335i are different sizes. But if the VRSF site says it fit, I would go for it!

Downpipe is the same from 320i to 328i. I would recommend against VRSF, I had serious fitment issues with my VRSF DP and had to have it machined down to fit right, even though the website obviously said it would fit. Others have had good experiences with them though, so seems like a roll of the dice. I would go with ER, rarely hear of issues with them, good company.

Downpipe is same between 320i and 328i but midpipe is different. In 320i there is 65mm diameter midpipe while 328 has 75mm midpipe. You can make it fit with a 75 to 65mm clamp.

Sent you a PM, please send over your order number so we can get you setup with a reimbursement. We had a batch of these early on that were machined .5mm off spec and I'd be more than happy to either replace the downpipe or reimburse your machining costs

Downpipe is the same just make sure you get the correct one for your engine (n20 vs N26)

Wish you'd do the same for me. But the machining for me was taking a dremel and wearing down turbo side and had a muffler shop cut and weld to the midpipe. Cant exactly take mine off anymore. Oh well it works.

Eh, don't
Nothing came of it. It was a nice gesture to reach out, but an even nicer gesture would have been to reach out with some cash!
