When I removed my exhaust on my E92 to do the Oem. exhaust mod. I used WD-40 .
After it was a piece of cake...

Hey I had the same problem when I did my exhaust. I had to get a torque wrench to remove the center bolt of the reforcement bar.

so.. finally I remove the center bolt 18mm of the reinforcement bar and the two 13mm bolt on the left and right side of the bars. I should of done this on the 1st place.

haha if I was working on a E92 I'll be done in 40 min max. The E93 have a lot of reinforcement bars under the car, making it much harder to remove the exhaust.
