50i & M exhaust - why not symmetrical?

Anyone know why the mid muffler or expansion chamber is different from left to right? Also do the crimps at the rear suspension look like an afterthought?

It's not a question of looks, why would it be different from left to right?

I think this is something only the BMW engineers can answer with certainty.
Everyone else would just be making guesses... unless they have some automotive background.

I may be wrong, but I think the OP is talking about the pipe layout underneath the body.

no idea... the only thing that sticks out like a sore thumb to me is the exposed muffler can but i just haven't gotten around to painting it.

i was under the vehicle yesterday staring at the exhaust and prepping it for painting and i have no idea what the op is referring to. the exhaust on the 50i looks symmetrical to me and centered. what am i missing here?
