I would have DEFINITELY purchased a factory "power kit" and "exhaust" but they are NOT offered by BMW for the e89 (ridiculous considering the new iS version and the power kit for the 335!!! This is something I have complained about loudly and often but to no avail; so, BMW forced me to look elsewhere and now may try to punish me for it. Make no mistake, this is not just a local dealer issue as it is now sitting on BMWNA's desk to make the call.
Frankly, at this point I am thinking I should have just bought my wife an M3 coupe, thrown the Akropovic titanium exhaust on it and been done with it, but I am a happily married man so I purchased what she wanted - a Z4. It is a great car but jeeze . . .
