No. Jason indicated that the ZCP exhaust was different. In order of aggressiveness, I think it goes stock exhaust -> ZCP exhaust -> M Performance exhaust.

Are we absolutely sure that, tips aside, the MPE and the OEM Akra are exactly the same unit?

As my aunt once told my wife when she took us to the Beverly Hills Chanel store, "child, never ask for prices around here. It means you can't afford it."

With that said, a later post said 8k-9k. Yeah, I can't afford that either...

This was inevitable as the trend has been leaning that direction for a while so my first thought was "it's about time." Beginning with BMW launching the M performance products to bring modifications in-house. It's a smart business plan, and they've done fairly well compared to other manufacturers.

Some in the aftermarket industry used to joke that Akra might as well be OEM since the fitment, quality, performance, and sound are so superb. BMW realizes this, too.

The quality is so unmatched that even BMW themselves know it is better than their own previous OEM mfg. For Akra, it doesn't matter, but for BMW, they see strong aftermarket demand for Akra, so might as well take a cut of the pie and make it an option from OEM.

atleast 6k + titanium materials ~ 8k least

I highly doubt a price like $2800, especially since its going to be "OEM".

Nope. I'm not sure who mfrs the E9X M3 M performance exhaust, but definitely not akra.

If I could swap my CF tips for M CF tips I might be interested? Maybe IND can do something?

More than you can afford, pal.
Glad someone picked up on it. Somewhat eerie after today though...

I wonder how much it is going to be. The sales man I bought my M5 from told me that it is going to be around $8,000
