I am looking to buy an after market 545 exhaust that a certain someone has for sale. Problem lies in the fact that I have a 550. Will it fit on the after market 545 exhaust fit on the 550?

I looked up the BMW part #'s on Real OEM which are different but everything looks the same. The only physical difference I seem to find is the pipe on the 550 looks to be 85mm while the 545 is 75mm.

Thanks in advance exhaust experts!

yea it will fit, most aftermarket exhaust are designed to fit both the 545 and 550. If there's a difference in the piping's diameter, it's nothing that a local exhaust can't solve by inserting different sized pipes
