It would be doable on a 4 pot, however the shape and mounts of your silencer are different to the one from the 3.0L pre facelift.

The mounts would need changing on the main box, as they are in different places, and the rear pipes too.

See in my head I'm seeing the ££'s and I'm thinking '£50 for a quad exhaust!', when in reality it's £50 for some of the tools, then plenty more for all the work I'd need doing to convert it.

It's the work bit I can't afford. Shame :(

Don't forget you will have to either modify your rear bumper or replace it with a 3ltr version to accommodate the two extra pipes at the other side.
3ltr didn't have quad pipes, the 3.2 M did.

Well you lean something every day :-) I thought the 2.0 had a singe the 2.2 and 2.5 a twin and the 3ltr had quad, clearly I'm wrong, cheers for that.

Yes e85 only mate.
The pre facelift was for the M54 engine roadster. From 2003 to 2005 I think? Maybe 2006. If you're a e89... won't work!
Cheers mate, thanks for the reply. GLWS. :)
