MPE exhaust clamp question

Hello ladies and gents!

I just purchased a new to me 2013 328xi! I am loving every bit of the car but want to start with some small mods starting with the exhaust. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything regarding the smaller clamp listed below

I bought a M Performance Exhaust from another gentleman but he needed the clamp for his original exhaust. To my understanding, the MPE came with a 75mm clamp part #18307560781.

However, when I searched for my vehicle online at getbmwparts, it listed this part number for the clamp. #18307560779 Upon googling the second part number, it is listed that it is a 60mm exhaust clamp.

I would like to double check with other members of the forum that I need the first one and not the second one or if I would need some sort of clamp adapter to mate the 75mm to 60mm pipe

Thanks in advance!

RealOEM shows that 18307560779 only applies to 320 cars in US.

18307560781 appears to be the part for 328i and it shows up both in M Perf kit and in regular exhaust diagrams.

I can confirm it's definitely the 75mm clamp for the 328

Hope you didn't spend $152.42 on it. Should be closer to $60

Thanks for the confirmation. I paid about 60 shipped for the piece.

I called the stealership to see how much they would charge for the install and was quoted $210!

I think i'll test my luck with a regular muffler shop since all the threads on here say its pretty simple of an install. Shouldn't be too difficult for them right? haha
