its relatively easy to do. jack the back of the car up both sides or better still drive it up on some ramps (homemade timber ones are ideal), there is a tiny dimple on the original pipe where it has to be cut using a reicprocating saw (£25 in wickes). cut it first then remove the mounting rubbers, a drop of wd40 helps here. fit the new one in reverse and use the clamp to join the two. the bmw clamp is quite expensive but ive tried aftermarket ones and ended up using the bmw one. its satisfying to DIY!
