E89 exhaust tips

[Nictrix]

if the exhaust tips are anything like my 23i then they come off pretty easy... spray WD40 at the rear where it meets the exhaust pipe, I used a bolster and a hammer just on the edge to gently tap it off (took a couple of minutes). I put some cheap tip replacements on (that actually look good) and Im having the old ones polished as there is nothing wrong with them.

just got my old genuine exhaust tips back from the polishers...20190905_175354.jpg

Look good. I really dont understand why BMW would use stainless material and then coat them in that dull silver finish.

Well pleased with them, a guy down in Govan done them. They are like new, hard to believe they were the same old manky pipes

I posted on here a while ago after getting ours polished, it was a guy round the back of Howdens that done ours.
