Are we certain this is a stock unmodified resonator? In the days of cutting costs, it seems odd that BMW would go through the extra work and expense of making a dummy resonator, especially when they offer an performance exhaust system for the 135i that has a y pipe in place of the resonator.
Photos are legit..

Place a 135i/N54 mid pipe alongside a 1M mid pipe and shine a torch in the resonator exit..

No rocket science needed here, the difference is quiet obvious.
