Thats awesome! Steve called me to say that BMW Aus does NOT have these instructions, but he looked on the european database listing and DID find this. As seen on page 2, with the table of data, it says that the silencer can be installed
without the use of the springs. At the moment I still have the springs in there as it allows for a bit of give and movement. Removing the springs will make the rear much more rigid and it won't have that small amount of tolerance for engine shake + vibrations and other general stuff that will cause it to move slightly. I suppose BMW says it is okay without springs, so I could give it a try.... it just sounds less secure and all the other applications still use the springs when installed, so what makes my car special enough to not need them?
Some pics for comparison. (compare bottom of bumper line in relation to the tips)
