Thanks for the update. I am having my BMW dealership install these inserts tomorrow. I have a magnaflow catback installed. Were the exhaust hangers you use BMW parts? When I talk to my service advisor tomorrow I would like to tell him. Or would I be better off bringing it to a muffler place after the bushing insert install?

I just installed a Vanguard exhaust and the exhaust tips were hanging a little low. It's because one set of exhaust hangers attaches to the bottom of the subframe mount (which is now slightly lower with these inserts). To fix this I needed to get different exhaust hangers which were shorter to compensate.
