M Performance exhaust from BMW?
Hello guys,
I was speaking with my stealer today about getting the M Performance exhaust supplied and installed prior to collecting my new car. They tell me it is not ADR approved so they won't supply or install? Can anyone please confirm this is so? I understand I can but it myself and have it installed I was looking to have it included in the lease though. Thanks in advance. H |

Mine wouldnt install non AUS purchased parts. Just buy from overseas and get it installed by any mechanic. Dont bother getting it done by a bmw specific mechanic as its an easy job. |

ADR stands for Australian Design Rule.
My undersatnding is that if something has not been approved with the ADR then it cannot "legally" be put onto the car, especially by the dealer. |

Wow, sounds like pretty heavy handed legislation to me, it's just an exhaust system. We have rules for noise levels etc in NZ, but this exhaust system easily complies.

Not to dis-similar to the reason why we will never see the RS3.. Audi would have to write off 3-4 cars just to get it past the AU crash testing and ADR mandates.. thats a lot to write off of a limited production car thats in huge demand globally. the thing that gets me is we (AU) think that our safety standards are better than that of say the UK, or Germany! FFS if its compliant in Germany where you can (and do) often exceed 200km/h on long runs (legally), it will do us nicely. My favorite example, as a cyclist is helmets. If I buy a helmet from the UK, it doesn't come with an ADR tag/certification and therefore I can not race competitively with it on. The EXACT same helmet in Australia, WITH an ADR sticker, costs over 40% more (but is obviously at least 40% safer!) So, people in AU tend to ride with crappier helmets as the cost is higher
