Down Pipe issue for LCI 535

I bought a Dr. Euro DP from a forum member here and we both didn't know that the DP wouldn't fit. His was a 13 and mine a 15. I went to install the DP and the waste gate is a 4'' and the DP was a 3.5''. I just don't wanna see anyone else run into this issue. It's par for the course for me though since everything i do seems to always be an issue lol

Wait so just to clarify, LCI(assuming 14+) 535i N55 requires 4"+ downpipe?

Wow interesting. Ok, by different do you mean that even this one wont fit bc a different design/bend is required for 15+?

http://www.**********s.com/Evolution...-bm-exh009.htm

Or just as long as its 4"+?

It's 4" now and the design is a bit different.

the electronic waste gate is a 4'' opening on LCI models....prior it was 3.5'' and the bend is slightly different....so you have to make sure you know its its pre LCI or not

According to Mike, who I'd trust since he is a trusted vendor here, its 2015 when it changed not at lci(2015). I'm sure he will clarify if I am wrong or missing something

From what we have been seeing is that the downpipe changed at 2015 not 2014. If we have a customer car with production date 2014, we ask for the VIN number or a actual picture of the DP to double check

It is not the LCI issue. I think it was from production date 07/14 F10/F06/F12/F13 N55 are using a new design downpipe which is similar to N55 F15/F16 X5.
