The issue is not that the PE isn't ADR compliant. The issue is that BMWA didn't see the potential volume for the PE, and thus margin, to justify the expense of getting it tested and approved for ADR.
One can only guess whether it would have received ADR approval if BMWA had been bothered. But based on other cars that are MUCH louder than the PE, I think we know the answer.
Thanks BMWA (and I mean that), you forced us to look at other ways of sourcing your product, and given the extortionate mark-up you put on your product in Aust, you saved us all a lot of money - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
