I'd like to know too. I thought it had the same exhaust as the 30si.

I also want to know if the M sports steering wheel and rectangular exhausts now come with the sports package on the diesel? If so, very cool.

In any case, very nice.

Hahaha. Thanks guys .... let you into a bit of a secret.

I did the retrofit on the car with the rectangle exhausts. The retrofit was talked about on the forum. If you search, you will find out more on that.

As for the steering wheel ... thats the regular sports steering wheel but with the M-Sport trim piece. I removed the other trim piece as I wasn't fond of that shiny plastic aluminium piece in it. I found it distracting.

As for wheels and stuff ... I have a question. I really like the 20" 214 style wheels, but I dont really want to keep switching wheels between winter and summer. Can you put all season, run flat tires on those 20" wheels? Thanks.

Nice!

Enjoy,

Thanks for the info.

Did you have the dealer install the rectangular exhausts or did you do it yourself?

Don't know about the 20" (have 21" 239's on now and change the wheels).

I like the modifications, but would think that your aluminum dash trim would be more distracting than the trim pieces on the steering wheel. No?

The front grills look great with the matching kidney grills (should come like that). Nice job!
