Cool Best deal in the GTA for a PE (installed)

Hello folks!

I searched this forum for this topic, but only saw a lot of FS/FT/WTB threads that expired long ago.

So here's my question, for those of you who've gotten a BMW OE PE at a GTA retailer; what did you get it for and how much did you pay to get it installed?

I'm definitely in the market for one after seeing/hearing one in person on a e92 328xi recently. But I'm a bit sticker shocked at some of the older threads here indicating it's some $2000 installed at a GTA dealer. I'm sure the super negotiators of this forum has gotten better deals and I'm very interested to hear what you got!

Here's what I'm thinking:

Option 1: Get you fine folks to tell me which GTA BMW dealer offers the best deal to have a PE installed (looking at $1500 range all in) - most convenient and safe option, but probably most expensive.

Option 2: Order the PE from Tischer ($990 USD shipped), get it shipped to Buffalo, then find an indy shop in Buffalo to install it and drive it back across the border - least safe and most complex option, but probably least expensive.

Option 3: Order it and get it installed at a BMW dealer in Buffalo (assuming the PE is cheaper over in the US) - probably most safe as it's being done at a BMW dealer, but questionable about overall cost savings.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my inquiry!

Thanks kstylez!

Is Nick in the Service Dept or the Parts Dept? How long ago did you get it installed so I can reference it when I talk to him?

Thanks!

Talk to Vereen at BMW Toronto he's the parts manager. Tell him Dilan sent you. You'll probably get a good deal on the exhaust. I got it installed by Ivo at Columbus Auto for an hour of labor

Thanks for the input folks!

So I got Nick (Parts) at Budd's BMW to match kstylez pricing ($1523 installed including tax); but I had to leverage the fact that my front brakes and oil is due for a change and let them do that for me too.

Thanks for the input folks! I knew you guys would help me find a good deal!

A little bit too late to help you, but it is actually really easy to install yourself. I put a remus exhaust on mine in about an hour in my garage.

Can you post pics and sound of your PE?

I have a 328xi - is a PE worth for it? or its only worth for 330/335s?

thanks.

It's definitely the worth it. You don't need to play audio in the car anymore in summer. Just roll down the window and listen to the real tune!

Been driving with the pe on my 328xi e92 for almost a month now and I have to say, it's sounds amazing. Especially driving slowly around parking lots, downshifting and cold starts in the morning.

Makes the car sound much more masculine. I love the burble when I release the throttle and the rumble at any rpm.

As the previous poster said, just turn off ur radio, roll down the windows and make sure ur have a full tank of gas

As for videos. There are lots on YouTube. But trust me. It sound better in person.
