For more of an impact I removed the OEM tail pipe trims for larger versions. These just fit onto the original N52 backbox and are about as large as I could fit in place. I tried the usual "jet" slanted ones, but they didn't look right. I hated seeing the straight original pipe inside and the fact they were a slightly smaller diameter than OEM was even worse.

I would prefer a straight cut tip myself but the inwardly rolled still looks alright.

PM sent mate.

I needed a pen for the rear compartment holder. Got a set from BMW lifestyle along with a new cap (Blue on Blue). Excuse the dark pic, cover over the car in the garage.

When I purchased the car the engine bay was tidy but I gave it it some more TLC. I love how the under trays on the BMW keep these engines bays so well preserved.
