Does anyone know if the dual exhaust system that comes standard on the 8 cylinder e63/e64 - would fit on a 545i?

sorry, it won't fit.

The 545i right hand side has the battery compartment in the way for a OEM E63/64 muffler, whereas the E63/64 has it's battery where we have our reserve wheel (allowing space for the right muffler)

you'll have to go aftermarket with other type of solutions - I'm sure quad modders will chime in.

yes, i would love to hear other options as the 645 and 650 sound amazing and my 545 does not. i have an rdsport single. it sounds ok, but a little f1. i have all my resonators in. i would rather my car sound like a real v8

In short will not fit! Beside stock exhaust is restrictive, and heavy... Go for some magnaflows and let the beast breathe, and you will love the sound!

My concern is droning and poor fitment.
