Cheap exhaust tips

[therealmc]

My 35i tips (on a 30i) have got tack welds that would need to be cut in order to remove them but the original 30i tips slide on and off but with quite some resistance - there’s some sort of spring clip thing

Don't want to appear stupid but I'm sure others may be asking the same question but once you get them off and polished, Do they just slide back on or are they bolted or something?

On the 23is they just tap off, looking at the image above the 20is must be the same & I think 35i &35is have a weld on them

I know this is a E89 thread, but if they are the same as E86 tips, they just push back on (with a little assistance from a mallet). It’s a very secure fit.

the 35 tips are welded on mate, this thread seems to be primarily about 23/2.0 cars where the tips slide on and off

Yep just slide back on, makes it easier for cleaning

I think they’re held on with some spring clips internally

Just played 18 holes of golf yesterday with very dodgy knees which today are letting me know that I shouldn't have. Once the ibuprofen has kicked in will get down on my knees and have a look under the car as I can't find anything definitive in the manual.
