CLS63/M157 Fluid Motor Union Custom Exhaust


I can't imagine what it cost to have them build this exhaust. They did one for a C63 for a "Legit Street Car" build estimated at $10K. Definitely sounds deeper... but, IMO, sounded pretty good before.

What kind of bmw work you need done? I find bmws to be 70% easier to work on vs Mercedes, yet I still ended up with one.

- bill jacobs wanted $3500 for turbo coolant lines - fmu said they were all just fine didn't need replacing
​​​​​​- BJ said door lock soft close would be $2500; fmu replaced the bowden (sp?) cable for $80 and charged $400 for labor
- bj wanted to do water pumps for $2000; fmu did it for $450
- bj wanted $3000 for brakes, fmu did it for $1200

my 550i has 93,000 miles (all mine since new 2016) and it's not required any significant work, anything under warranty when I had a warranty is was trivial interior stuff and a new battery

I enjoyed that exhaust video as well. They do some great work. Peter, If you talk to OJ let him know he’s amazing when he just speaks naturally and just spouts his knowledge. It’s some of the best out there. It much better than when tries scripted portions. IMHO.

That shop as well as the detail shop that’s popular out there make me want to travel for some car care one day.
