Hi Zed

I am looking at this exact same thing just now.
I managed to remove one of my original tips and measure it.
The pipe is 60mm so any of the aftermarket 63mm will be ok unless you have a side by side exhaust, thats when things become a bit more difficult.

I haven't found anything other than replacing with BMW original yet.

:cry:

I really fancied the Akropovic style tips but can't seem to get the diameter's to work on a side by side. Would love for someone to find some slim ones. Keep us updated bud.

And yes, the two right hand are false exhaust, but looks great :D

Hi there.
That's a good look wouldn't know unless you said that the R/H are dummies. Can I ask did you cut the bumper yourself and if so what did you use?
And how did you fix the dummies and to what?
Think I would like to borrow your idea. :)

Ive ordered some cheapies from Amazon, even if they don't last it will give me an opportunity to get the originals professionally polished :)

Two versions, i stuck with the lower.
I made a simple bracket that bolts to a bumper mount. Two lengths of exhaust tube welded to bracket.
Then just sawed the the cut out, after tracing off the left side.
Gives it a proper balanced look.
