There was someone on the forum that wrote that exhaust with part number 18302464492 is in fact the stock exhaust, just a European version. So this “MPE” is not even a true M-Performance exhaust, just an OEM exhaust for M-Performance car.
His reasoning was that European exhaust have stricter emission standards due to the laws there, therefore need for slightly different exhaust.
That would all explain low price- $1,500 and sound that is the same as stock exhaust. On top of that friendly reminder that first production cars were pre-tuned (BMW didn’t realize that) and later they were down tuned with the new DME update. That would mean that BMW has the tune, so why releasing just exhaust for $1,500 when they can release an entire M Performance Power and Sound kit and bump up the price to ~$3,000, and get much higher profits.
