Black Exhaust Tips

Post by Kisscorky » Tue May 16, 2023 3:50 pm

I am new to the BMW Z4 World and have a few questions. I have a 2014 BMW Z4 35i. I want to replace the old exhaust tips with new ones.

1. How hard is it to remove the old exhaust tips?
2. Where can I find new black exhaust tips?
3. How easy are the new ones to put on?

Thank you in advance!

Yours are welded on so need to be sawn off..

Given that its a weld job thereafer..

Not sure a painted tip would survive welding..

Maybe that answers question 3?
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Leave the ones you have, don't clean them. They will be suitably black in no time! :lol:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!
