And here is the getting on it (not WOT) at 38* ambient temp and raining. Very happy with a sound

It has more to do with re-using the stock gasket/clamps than with the downpipe

Just ordered @ xp-h! Hopefully, shipping time to The Netherlands won't take too long. Read some bad reviews on the cheaper catted DP's while this one is priced in the middle of the cheapest and most expensive ones. This one has the least bad reviews and the best support online from the seller/manufacturer so far imo.

Could any garage with experience in tuning do this job easily? My friend has a garage specialized in tuning and repairing modern American cars, could they do the job? Or do I need to find a shop which knows about BMW tuning and fitting of downpipes

Any competent mechanic can swap the DP.
Heck I did it myself and I don't consider myself a competent mechanic in any sense of the term.

Ok great. Found also an install vid on youtube seems pretty easy indeed.

Shipment is expected to arrive next Tuesday the 20th of October already Thanks @ Mike

Final question:
- can this cat safely run with the stock mppsk burble tune?
- can this cat safely run with the bm3 stage 2 tune with burbles and what would be the max. custom setting to run?

Asking because I saw some people melt their CSG1 cats on this forum.

My pleasure

- yes
- you can run it safely with the bm3 default burble settings . I do not recommend increasing the burbles on catted DP
