It's an easy solution for those enthusiasts who don't want to throw down 80 hours of research on the best exhaust for the dollar as well as those enthusiasts who don't want to just blindly trust their internet forum buddies' research. But BMW isn't out to do anyone any favors, they're here to make money and aftermarket exhausts have gotten so ridiculously expensive, they see opportunity to make more money.
I think they are basically remarketing an Akrapovic setup. Not sure if it is the same as one you can get with Akrapovic branding or not, but this one worked out well for me. Had the car in anyway, so saved on some labor and hit a "promotion".
