Are those the port-installed prices? Those typically have an install charge built-in, while the MSRP on the first page is just for the parts. Also, FYI you can usually negotiate like 10% off the MSRP of the port-installed stuff.

Wow. $100 per horsepower. BMW is certainly looking out for #1.

Depends how one looks at it, you might also say we all paid about $150 per horsepower for the first 320 of them so $100 each for some extra might not be too far out of line. Personally I'd rather have the HP and torque anyway than an extra $3500 in the bank, it will provide me much more pleasure invested in the car.

Someone please install this kit and post the Dino results. I'm overseas so it'll be a few months until I get the opportunity…

American muscle is where it's at for that, usually. And the new rustang is actually surprisingly good. (If I didn't need usable back seats, I'd probably be buying one of those instead). |

Thanks Jay, I must say you guys did come through.
I'm getting my kit installed next Friday! Ended up going with the stainless tips and my dealer came through with what I consider a good price at just over $2,900 out-the-door. |

$2900 out the door is a great price!

It's all relative and I justify it this way. A 3rd party exhaust for my X5 is $4,500, that doesnt include install or a software upgrade. A BMW exhaust for a M3 lists at $4,400 w/o $1,000 tips. No software is included from BMW. To me, $3,200 seems like a deal for two things plus piece of mind for another 44 months, 47,000 miles - no taking off the tune when going in for an oil change, no logging in to check error codes. It's a worry free system that wasn't cobbled together and it gives you better sound, -.2 0-60mph, and Hp/Trq bump.

I'm sure you can find some rationale to spend ten times more. The fact remains, it is not a good value. In fact, it's likely the absolute MOST you can spend for that performance increase.

That's a silly analogy because no one wants a nuclear fusion generator on their BMW. Some people do want full exhaust systems, even though they really don't add much in terms of hp. Full exhaust systems (mid pipe plus muffler) go for $1900 or so roughly for the 340i so far. In that context, this is not a bad value. If your point is that a full exhaust is a stupid mod on a car you don't own, congratulations, but you should probably take your campaign of righteous indignation to the launch threads of the AWE and Dinan exhausts as well, for consistency's sake.
