Unfortunally according to bmwvin mine is a Euro4, guess I'll have to see if they can sort this out. But you did delete the second cat or did i miss something?
But I'm still thinking of the 3" to two reasons. More bhp/ less torque and the sound. Can you make a flyby video of the car?

That mpg is just absolutely fantastic.

Mine didnt have a second cat but my mates euro4 did. He just cut it open, took everything out then welded it back up. Mine isnt any louder than standard maybe a little more turbo whistle

Turbo whiste is a sign of good flow i my world. Guess there is nothing stopping me of getting that 3" turbo stainless exhaust. Then we can make a compare.

Cheers. Fronts are 19 x 9 & the rears are 19 x 10. Cant remember the offset but you do need spacers on the front to clear the legs

Fronts were fine. Ive pulled the rear arches out a bit & theres no scrubbing but i need to try it with weight in the back. If need be ill pull them out a little more. Most people run 225 35 19's on the font & 235 35 19 on the rear. I didnt want streched tyres so went for 235 35 19 on the front & 265 30 19 on the rear

Not gonna happen lol. Not going smaller than 265's its fine with no weight so if it does rub with weight they wont need pulling much more
