Is the exhaust routing the same on the x3m as on the M40i?

I guess my real question is, is that going to fit without modding it?

It will definitely take some modification. The exact details I'm unsure of but it's not a bolt-on.

Will report back on the install.

All we've done so far is the put the car on the lift and basically "eyeballed" using various "pictures" of underside of both g01 and f97, f97 with and without the exhaust install.

The cutting point on the dimple will probably be different location on the stock pipe. Hoping that is about it, and no bending is necessary for clearance. May need to add washer or two don't know yet to clear the underside brace. If that's about it then rest should be bolt on (meaning less fabs needed), arter replacing few g01 parts with f97's.

The pipe routing looks exactly the same. Did it fit right up or were there some adjustments needed?

How does it sound?

LOL, i have to ask my son about how to upload video clips to YouTube...

The exhaust work, along with 15mm spacers are i'm told done, except i goofed and the stock g01 flap actuator doesn't fit 100%, so had to order another one of the f97's (now the exhaust will have both f97 flaps), overnight it...
