Personally, I am weary of changing any muffler unless you have proven gains for your specific set up. Losing HP to make your ride look/sound good is a fail in my book. The OEM muffler and most OEM parts on this car are designed with a lot more consideration than we realize.
pre-lci rear bumpers i.e. 06-08 should fit your car just the same. You could get a one sided m3 rep bumper or go mtech oem. I paid $350 by a bmwna certified body shop to paint my rear bumper. They did it after hours and use OEM products. Try to ask around to see if someone knows someone who knows someone. Also, I only paid about $285 for my rear m3 bumper. Shipping was extra. Contact Suvneer.com and ask them to price match ddm tuning. You will get it a better price.

I agree on that part. There's not enough power there to trade it for sound. I definitely want a louder sound. I love the I6 sound, but I feel it's too quiet as is. I don't like the stock tips at all, I definitely want to change them out.
I couldn't find an M3 bumper on either of those sites - could you link me? I love the quad tips look and wouldn't be afraid to get a quote on something like that. I'm also pretty interested in the M3 front bumper. I read that the 06-08 bumper only needs a slight modification to fit the LCI models. I'll shoot a respected BMW bodyshop an email and see what they have to say and get a quote. I will probably just stick with the single side exhaust though.
So much for my budget...
