BMW X6 M - Eisenmann Exhaust?

I'm trying to find a BMW X6 M or X5 M to purchase and came across this:

http://www.autopalacecolumbus.com/we...Ohio/19478460/




Any exhaust experts know if this is what it's supposed to look like? The dealership told me it's an aftermarket Eisenmann Exhaust but it looks like it's not made for the car.

Not a fan of what they did to the painted grille or center caps for the wheels, but easy fixes.

Thanks. Oh, if anyone is thinking of selling theirs... send me a PM!

That is definitely not an Eisenmann. Looks like a poorly executed custom system.

Would you be able to get a pic of the muffler part? I had the E-race on my X5M (I couldn't stand the noise and switched back to stock). However i've seen many of the Eisenmanns installed and some are not done properly. This could be a bad install job. I've seen way too many hanging too low and not in the exhaust "pocket" of the rear bumper.

I agree with reihani... this looks like an Eisenmann that was installing using the low hangers for ppl with diffusers, which it look like that truck has. I have the Eisenmann Race now , idk why everyone says its too loud. It definitely is loud on cold start but it quiets down nicely after the truck is warm. Coming from a catless e46 M3 this is not a loud setup. Again looks like an Eisenmann with a poor install, easy fix. I was particular about my install and mine doesn't sag at all.

I had an Eisenmann Sport on my M3, and after initially installing it the look was similar to this.

Had to go back and adjust it to get the tips to tuck under, and then it looked great.

Wow.. regardless what brand or custom exhaust that is I am surprised the previous owner didn't find it out of place.. that is sticking out way to much..

That's heinous.

The Hamann roof spoiler and M Performance spoiler are nice accents. The center caps are cheap to replace and a section of the exhaust tailpipes can be removed and the tips welded back on for less than $100. You should be more concerned about tunes than anything else. I would even be worried about aftermarket downpipes as well because error codes thrown by them are "tuned out".
