Ignoring the advert from Ark The rest of his car looks good, he even has racing seats and a roll cage in there. But to me it's like they were to cheap to buy or fabricate an exhaust that tucks in nicely like an OEM system. Again to each their own, but any mature car enthusiast will tell you that is the "boy racer" look.

Again just my thoughts
Ignoring the ad from ark and focusing on the 135i with the canister exhaust; this could easily be tucked up nicely with just a touch of dedication to a job well done. Notice how the section off the mid pipe seems to sag straight away? They messed up. There's a huge cavern up there where the stock exhaust goes. You could tuck the piping and find a can that has the tip exiting low. Keep it tucked and it won't look old school JDM plus you keep the upscale nature that BMWs should retain. Personally if I were making special attraction to the ass end with a 4+" exhaust tip I'd also probably also go carbon fiber on the diffuser to help finish off the business end. It's only money right.
