I expect a small diameter difference which isn't a concern. Looking for overall fitment insight.
Considering same things on my 2017 230i
How difficult was that?
Is it possible to be done with clamp only or should be welded?

Do you have any pictures of that?
It took a bit of effort, about two hours. They had to create a bridge-type piece of 3" pipe to connect from midpipe to muffler since the M235i's muffler has a slightly different bend.

Clamp was not going to work in this scenario, had to weld. Absolutely worth it.

Just ran down and took some pics for you. The bridge pipe was expanded to 3" in order to sleeve over the midpipe and muffler end.
