That retails for €895 here in Europe and the E92 M3 retails for €3025 but that is Inconel so should be more expensive. So around the €1500-2000 MSRP is my guess. The M3 is more upmarket so the M2 exhaust should be cheaper to appeal to the lower price of the car.
Other factor why the M2 M Performance Exhaust will be cheaper:
  • M3/M4 MPE = correct me if I'm mistaken, but it's titanium (also the base material used by Akrapovič);
  • M2 MPE = stainless steel (+ either CF tips or titanium tips) ("for cost reasons", said BMW representatives at SEMA 2015).
If you prefer titanium: FWIW, a UK agent of Akrapovič hinted to a release of the Akrapovič M2 exhaust before this Summer (see here).
