Gents as you know the 320D comes with a rear silencer facing downwards, after checking on the Bay i observed some modifications.

Just checking if any members here have fitted the following kit and whare to find one at a decent cost.

Not all 320d's have a downward facing pipe. See here for example:

Your pictures look like they may be of a BMW Performance exhaust. In which case you can only buy them from a BMW dealer.

Ive got one of these fitted, got it 2nd hand from this site from a user.
It does make a difference to the car, also a better exhaust note

Thanks for the picture, that's the one i am after.

The one presently fitted from new is not so appealing.

I have just been provided the part No BMW 18302185802

Many thanks for the information, would i be correct that the threaded whole is already there from new, for the items 2 & 3.

And also after the original back box has been cut the new silencer will slip over the original pipe and then connected using clamp 5

My task now is get one at a reasonable cost, there is big difference here but it may be there is the fitting kit that's with the one costing more.

Please let me know if you know whare to find the complete kit at decent coin

[Phil325i]

You may not need to order a clamp separately. My Performance Exhaust came with the clamp supplied...

I am not familiar with the costs of these parts in the UK, please can you point me in the right direction whare i can make the purchase with the full fitting kit and have the items delivered to an address in London.

[Phil325i]

I suggest you approach BMW dealer Cotswold BMW. They offer a discount to members of this forum. See this thread:

I had my single pipe back box deleted and a twin pipe convertor piece installed for £120 at an exhaust specialist. No problems.

[bishbosh]

I bought my perf exhaust from liebmann in Germany, but that was before brexit so the exchange rate was better.
