Like I said I don't know if Monkey is making these for others as the stainless steel used was different to stuff used for the the E85's and cost a lot more to get it.
If he does want to make them and the price has to double it's still worth it as they look loads better than the painted OEM ones that you can't get clean!
The old ones are easy to get off, just pull.....or if they are stuck, tap the back of them with a mallet and piece of wood. The new ones slide on (nice tight fit) and tighten up the locking nut provided with an Allen key (I cut mine down a bit so they don't stick out) :wink:
They look smart Steve 8)
BMWs exhaust trims are pure rubbish and very poor quality, the problem is they're painted and unless waxed and sealed and cleaned weekly will start to pit in no time as the heat, water, soot etc corrodes them. Mine were starting to go and thats with weekly cleaning which is made worse if you use anything remotely abrasive so bought a spare set. The M135is trims are painted black and seem even worse, lots of moaning on babybmw. I've been using wheel sealant on mine and seem to be holding out. BMW have got carbon tips available but you have to buy the M Performance backbox for them to fit

I can't talk about E89's but the OEM E85's seem fine to me :wink: lookie here :roll:TitanTim said:E85, E89, F21 all the same :wink: Tim.thepits said:We're talking E89 here of course. The BMW OEM Tips for an E85 are of course top quality chrome-plate, and after fitting some MM's I just happen to have a pair available at a very reasonable priceTitanTim said:
As I have some material. I am happy to make a few sets. Until the material runs out maybe 5 sets?
You will have to pull the old tips off and measure the exhaust pipe to see if it's 60mm diameter. It it is these will fit I won't make another post advertising as I am tying not to do as much this year.
They will be £55 delivered.
