Downpipe same as M235i?

Can someone who has a car check? Can we order a M235i downpipe and throw it on or are we gonna be paying a M tax?

I was thinking about snagging a cheap one to check. I'm not sure I want to roll around with a CEL before a tune comes out though.

There is a working DP fix now, for all engines including the N55.

Yeah I forgot about the simple fix. I guess I have no excuses now.

Developed w/N55 owners. Latest version works 100%. Finally.

Also, look at the "N55 downpipe fix found" thread in the E90 N55 forums for owners posting their positive results.

As it's just a sim, it will also work with any other car.

I have ER DP on my m235i. Curious if I can swap it to the M2 when I get one.

Short answer is Yes - same DP for M235i and M2. Crossed checked the DP's part numbers

M2 via BMW ETK - https://www.parts.bmwgroup.com/webetk/FzgIdCtrl

Mx35i EWG via Realoem - http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/part...8+32+8+602+882

Both share same DP part number - 18328602882

News is not good, according to Realoem

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=18_0921

DP part numbers are :-

EU5 compliant 18328603873

EU6 compliant 18328602884

Neither of which are the same as Mx35i and M2

Rob,

Could well fit but needs someone with deep pockets and or brass cajones to start fettling.

Nice car BTW, isn't it a bit too soon to begin tearing down your new ride for the sake of R&D !!!

We did this at our facility last night, and it is not a direct bolt on. You can make adjustments to make it work but if you expect to do this on a jack stand as a clean cut process, you have another thing coming. There are a few brackets near the turbo that require some shape shifting. Off course we made the adjustments and got it done.
