Wonder how much a dealer would ask to fit a brand new OEM exhaust (to an iS)?

A fortune? Or one of those things that are actually cheaper and better?

Looking probably the whole lot, from engine to tailpipe.

Thoughts welcome.

nothing nicer than a dealer Exhaust, but prepare to be reamed big stylee !

Why don't you ask them ?

Three points for this:

1) You say you want to go engine to tailpipe, but the manifold for the iS is no longer available

2) I seem to remember getting a quote for the rest of the exhaust at around £800 for the parts alone from BMW in December last year

3) You've then got to add dealer prices for fitting, although that isn't a long job in theory.....

Its a very long job when your paying £90 odd per hour!

Middle section to tailpipe then?

Yup they're still available, still expensive

I got a manifold-back system from Fritz's Bits for ~£500 after VAT and delivery, and they do a manifold for a further £500 it's a nice system, slightly freer following apparently (yeah right!) and uses all the original mounting points and looks relatively subtle and stock Here it is shortly after loosing a fight with part of an electric gate

Which considering a lot of dealers offer the 10+scheme at £50/hr, you'd be an idiot to pay.

Slap dash FTW!

If you can justify it, BMW zorsts are the best. My E32 system lasted 18 years and the system on my iS is the original.
