Well, I should have read sooner, my loss I guess. I purchased a used MPE today with 18k on it and low and behold I ran downstairs to see if it was starting to split. Only on the right side on the can, looks like if I find someone who can weld titanium in my area this will be a quick fix. Even though there is no way this part could be out of warranty due to age of the newest exhaust possible, BMW will be no help to me (as usual).

It really is disappointing for the cost of these units. No help for me from BMW either

They are all stamped up with BMW logos and part numbers you would think it is something that could be traded in, hell ship it Germany and have it fixed and sent back or something.

Wow. These cracks are going to get worse too, unfortunately.
Somebody needs to take BMW to task over this bullshit. MPE is grossly overpriced as it is. |

Now I have some one local that will be welding mine back up. The bad part is the can must come off the car to do so, so I will need a off day to drive the muffler can over to the shop with the GF's car. I will also post a rough estimate as to what it cost to repair then we can adjust the used MPE accordingly. P.S. this exhaust sounds amazing. |

I wouldn't necessarily they're entirely SOL, however the chances of one getting it covered under warranty second hand may be difficult... Unless like I said it was either port installed or unless the original owner can give a copy of the purchase order to the next order(for this particular reason). Understanding that logically it doesn't make sense but like most businesses there is a protocol and guideline that has to be followed. Apparently based on this short thread, guess it's more common that I had imagined...

Yeah it's unfortunate, guess it's more common here on the interweb... I've literally only seen two recently in my service department.
