The performance exhaust is restricted by country. (Law)

The HUD is restricted by the limited supply of windshields with the reflective layer? (The glass may also be certified by country.)
If, at the moment your dealer places the order, one is available, you get it.
If not, your dealer may be able to trade for one on his stock order. My dealer managed to. It took a while.

Am very interested in hearing the sound on an E53 with the performance exhaust. The reviews I've seen on YouTube don't seem to feature it.
This video is absolute realistic.
I love the sound.

I think I've seen that video already - Didn't realise it had the performance exhaust, or maybe I just don't remember. Guess I'll just have to watch it again!

I really enjoy this guy's work and he does seem to get his hands on some really great machines.

He absolutely fell in love with the E53 and even tried to get one for himself, but like me, just couldn't quite make the numbers work.
