550i Undercar pictures

So i got my new 550i Xdrive with adaptive drive up on my 4 post lift on saturday.
Love to see under my cars and inspect it, and learn more about it.
Here are a few pictures from my iphone. Mostly the exhaust do
The exhaust has a outside diameter of 2-3/4''OD (70mm) from the downpipes all the way to the mufflers. I must say i was impressed on the setup ( for a factory setup) Nice big dual piping all the way, with nice secondary cats. These pipes must flow pretty good. A few crushed areas to add extra clearance room. But not bad at all in general.
I was thinking of making a mid section to bypass the resonator x-pipe with a high flow x-pipe. This could add a bit of sound to the car. The 550 is just to quiet, needs a little more tone!!

My car has the adaptive drive suspension, i took a picture of the rear swaybar hydraulic motor that is located right in the center of the bar, the other edges of the bar is like a normal swaybar, but it has the hyd motor in the middle. This motor must increase and decrease hyd pressure as required by the suspension controler. Pretty cool stuff.
