They would love it if I showed up for autocross or a track day with that contraption attached to my steering wheel.

By "love it" I mean "fail my car at tech inspection."

That's the stock exhaust. The real giveaway is that the entire thing is a single piece of metal.

The converters are dead center in your second picture.

I have the same problem. I'm 6'2", and can fit in the car if I get the seat just so. But the reach to the steering wheel is more than I'd like it to be.

I've had the same problem. I thought it was due to having a 500gb hard drive on the USB port, which is not a BMW recommended configuration. But apparently it's not.

You need to confirm this with a service rep. If they really recommended an idler pulley to cure a rough idle, then they are either incompetent, crooks, or both.

Two points.

1. This isn't important.

2. If you cannot figure out how to look up parts on your own, put the hammer away and let the mechanic fix your car.
