Hi
Been lurking for a good while, unfortunately I have been very ill for a long period so never got stuck in to my E30 until now.
Anyway, I'm a little better now and want to get my 320i SE ready for its MOT
I guess ECP seems cheapest for the usual service parts (all filters, plugs, dizzy cap, brake discs and pads etc) BUT...
I can't seem to find anywhere that does a decent exhaust for the car (I don't want to go down the Magnex / Scorpion type route at the moment if possible)
Any advice on where to source one, and cost would be appreciated.
If it helps, I'm in the Chesterfield area, Derbyshire.
Many thanks,
Andy

ECP sometimes stock Eberspacher exhausts which are very good. Avoid their Klarius/Timax ones - they're junk.

If you plan on keeping the car you can't beat a genuine exhaust from BMW but they're not cheap.

Service parts from ECP are fine. Just stick to the more premium brands rather than their budget specials.

Hi, I have some exhaust parts stashed away, what is your system type? two or three piece and is it twin pipe all the way or two into one at the middle box?

I am in Derby.
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
