1998 523iSE E39 Exhaust

   Hi Guys, 
I have the above car and the exhaust is fried. What I want to know is, can I fit an exhaust from another model ? I'm planning to fit a sport rear bumper so ideally a sport system would suit me aesthetically. What are my options ??

	If you look at www.realoem.com you'll see that there are different part numbers for the exhausts on different e39's so it would appear they may not be all interchangeable. IIRC the m52 520i and 523i may be the same but the 528i is different. Not sure how substantial the differences are though.
	Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93. Prev: e46 328i SE Touring, 330Ci, 318Ci. e39 523i SE. e36 325i Coupe *2, 323i SE, 316iSE. e30 325iSE 2dr, 320i Conv, 320i 2dr, 316i.

	Cambell how about going for a custom stainless system that way you could have it any way you want it to go
	If you can't be good don't get caught --------------------------

	Looks like I'm going to just replace the bit thats burgered and replace the rear box with a nice twin outlet number. It just means I'll have to get a bit of welding done.
