Not exactly... These will require cutting and welding for clearance. I asked Tiago, and he pointed me toward a forum thread in which someone had done the rework. It's not terribly hard if you have the capability to weld stainless, but it's certainly not just a bolt-on mod.
There's at least 5 people looking for down pipes for the 535xi, I'm one of them.

And since I'd be cutting and welding anyway, I'd like to insert some bellows so these would have a little give like the stock ones.

Thank you all for your great feedback thus far. I need to bring the car back to the dealer for a couple items, but have the Burger DCI and CC ready to install upon it's return. VRSF intercooler is en route and I've been running the MHD stage 1 flash for the last week. Very noticeable gain over the stock tune, and I'm impressed with the easy and flexibility of MHD. Development seems to be constant and I'm looking forward to trying out the other maps as soon as the bolt-ons start-a-bolting. The stage 2 tunes require downpipes, so that may prove to be an issue...
