I had this muffler laying around for a bout 2 years. I originally bought it for my 2003 540i but sold the car. It looked like it would fit so we put it on, enjoy.

 

There is supposed to be a youtube link.. keywords R56 Magnaflow.

 

Fixed the video for you....

 

Any chance you can take a video of a driveby?

 

And the reason for putting this muffler on is???

 

Prolly to make it sound better? It worked. It looks better too.

 

Thanks E30r56 - I installed it since I wanted a lower throatier sound. I also plugged the noisemaker on the firewall. Total price was around $250 installed, beats 900 anyday.

I have a camera and will post inside as well as drive by videos... FWIW the mufler has been on for a few miles now and it sounds even better.

 

Mild acceleration video - muffler is starting to break in and it really has a mellow low tone. Drivebys probably this weekend sometime...

 

Interesting, this was the exact exhaust that I had on my '06 Rio that I traded in for my MCS. I always wondered how it would sound on the MINI. Not bad at all, especially for the price.
