I really don't understand BMW's parts distribution. Last month, all the big online vendors were advertising the M Performance exhaust for sale. That may have been a lie and they really had none in stock, but they were advertising them. Fast forward a month and they've entirely disappeared from the face of the Earth. There are supposedly none in any US BMW warehouses and they can't be ordered from Germany because they are discontinued. I really find it hard to believe that not a single dealer has one in stock. Does BMW forbid them from selling a part that's been discontinued? I don't get it. I've bought new old stock parts that have been discontinued for 20 years.

*rant over*
Does anyone know how to find one now that it's officially discontinued? Unfortunately the Euro-spec version still has the butterfly valve which I don't want.
