If that is the case with their e34 unit, get it. Otherwise I wouldn't worry too much and would stick with the aluminized ANSA... (do let us know if the Bosal is SS).

EDIT; sorry I typed that wrong I meant to say 'tips' :D

How much is it? Had mine done about a year ago now and it cost £130.

i have found it at several different sites for as low as 292.00 to around 350.00 i did a web search for "bmw replacement muffler" and looked around . this price does not include the coupling sleeves or install.

apparently the muffler for the 530 sounds really cool on the 525 (as per old post)
