328i M Performance Muffler Clamp size?

Anyone know what size the muffler clamp is that comes with the M Performance exhaust? I'm purchasing a used exhaust from a gentleman selling his car but he's keeping the clamp. So I need to find the right size. I'd prefer not to spend $70 on buying a new one from BMW when I can find one on jegs or summit racing for $13. Thanks in advance for the help!

Has anyone tried 3" clamps? That's 76.2mm and significantly cheaper and more available than 75mm size.

I used this 3" clamp. The extra 1mm appears to be just enough for the clamp to slide on the pipe while fully tightened. It's not sliding freely, but it's enough slack to move it with bare hands. The other downside is that it's creating just enough room for tips to droop.

I'll stop by a local exhaust place to inquire if they have 75mm clamps. OEM BWM part on eBay is ~ $65 shipped.

hi, did anyone figure out where to buy the clamp instead of the dealer( $95CAD) ? I called multiple places and no one has a 75mm(2.95") clamp, closest thing they have is a 3" clamp.
