impulse purchase on an MPE

[BBDC5]

Don't know what happened but bought an MPE while the M3 is in a service at Endras today. The story was that they were driving a floor model individual M3 with the MPE out the showroom as it was sold, wow the exhaust sound is unbelievable...." and even my wife said that "it sounds amazing...".

Well, it is non-refundable so it is too late to regret.....

That's the problem, I still need to wait for 2 more days as Endras does not have one in stock. The anticipation is killing me and the feeling is similar to the time that I was waiting for my M3.

Wow 8k and here I was contemplating whether I should order it for $4500.

Yep, I missed the chance to order when building the car so now need to pay the premium to get the toy.

Maranello quoted me $5K for this exhaust for my car. Debating on it... maybe next summer.

$8k for an axle back? Jesus Christ. At least if the can cracks, you'll have a warranty through the dealership.

Good move Dude. You'll love it. Sounds great. Carbon tips are awesome. I've not regretted it at all.

Yes, it's a bit pricey. Yet put it in perspective. The car is pricy too. Those critical of cost should maybe consider a Nissan Versa for next car. Just kidding......

Thanks VeloF1, the smile on my wife's face was priceless and that's why I pulled the trigger. Yes, it is very pricey as I need to admit.

Hey Parabolica, you should order it while you have a chance. So regret that I did not order in the first place. The sound is so different comparing with the stock or even the sport exhaust in the competition package.

It may be too late now as my car is into production. Id love to hear it on a car with the sport exhaust from the competition package and then one with the MPE.
