It says it only fits n52 and up to 2012 but I'm thinking it should be fine for the n51. I don't think there is any change between 2012 and 2013 either.

Also would this setup cause a CEL?




Picked up my 2013 128i a couple months ago and have been loving it! I almost gave up on looking for one since finding a manual that wasn't peasant spec'd seemed almost impossible. I waited and got everything I wanted, manual, M sport, Nav, bi xenons and just about every other option.

Couple of points...yes, you'll get a CEL removing the lower cats; there's sensors for them and the cat heaters...BYW, you MUST remove the heaters, otherwise they'll stay hot all the time trying to heat the non-existant O2 sensors.

If you're only looking for sound, you'll get it with the SS pipe...but if your looking for power, you might consider what I & others have done...Stage3 intake, AA headers + their tune, aFe intake, and Magnaflow catback... Now, the car will actually move, and not just make noise.

There's a reason I bought my "peasant" spec'd car, basically no options except manual sport seats (perfect), let me point out that I'd rather pick my own options, rather than use BMW's hi-priced stuff. Now that LED's are available, zenons are old school, and I'll take my coil-overs and hollow swaybar with adjustable heim-joints, over M-sport. Plus 6-piston BBK, wavetrac finned diff, 18" wheels, oil cooler, oil pressure gauge, Whiteline sub bushings, Blackline tail lights, and on & on...
