Am I missing exhaust trim pieces?

[gadgetJunky72]

Hi,

Should there be silver trims over these exhaust tips or is this normal or maybe even an aftermarket exhaust? Thx

Seems to be a standard 2.2 / 2.5 pre-fl back box to me. You can buy OEM chrome trim pieces though, they will increase the looks of your Z4's bottom. :wink:

Hi,
Those are the normal factory exhaust tips and many have oem or aftermarket chrome tips installed on them. Some have polished them instead.

Just need a new set of tips.. plenty on ebay/amazon for around 20 quid

Thanks.

Look so much nicer with tips on. I was lucky enough to pick these up for £15. The now famous Machine Monkey Stainless exhaust tips. Other makes available

I've got a set I took off my exhaust, going spare.

They make OEM exhaust trims for the Z4. :roll: Guess if it makes your Z4 look how you like it's worth the extra few lbs.

thanks for the really kind offer but I've already ordered some off eBay.

I finally got round to fitting the trim pieces I got from eBay, but they don't fit.

I think I'm using RealOEM correctly. The part that it showed for my 3.0 is 82120151088.

This is also the part number that I purchased from eBay, but they look more round than oval. I didn't want to force them as I may need to return them.

I'm not sure if I just need to man-handle them a bit to get them to fit.

Yep the trims are round, even though the tailpipes are oval on pre-facelift cars. Have they got the bolts underneath to tighten on the pipes?
If not, then they're not genuine.
Post-facelift trims are push-fit but the tailpipes are a different size. And round.

Got the seller to double check the part numbers then managed to get them on with the help of a rubber mallet.
