Question: 325i Owners Only Please

BMW786 · 08-04-2005, 08:58 PM

Hello...I just wanted to get an idea about the chrome exhaust tips (i.e. to get them, not get them). If you are a 325i owner or soon to be owner, please vote. Thanks.

At $50 there the cheapest thing you can do to add to the look of your car. Even my wife noticed them, that's saying alot! They look great!

yeah, they are a necessity; and they are supercheap. They make the back end of the car look much more "official"

If the pipes get rusty they will get covered. If they are stainless, they will stay as is, or may get polished if I get any spare time.

I got chrome tips...but not the car. They do not add much to my look when I walk around holding them - but I think they will look nice on the car.

UncleWede · 08-04-2005, 09:37 PM

The price is definately right, and they do finish off the back end nicely.

Silver 325i · 08-04-2005, 10:22 PM

waste of money, who cares if your tips are chrome, buy somehting else, you already have a BMW which is better than 95% of other cars

ward · 08-05-2005, 12:25 AM

I posted pics of my car with standard tips EEEWWW on the other thread on this issue

you can hardly tell the difference.

Hunter399 · 08-05-2005, 01:14 AM

If you don't have them, you have to get them.

They really look great!

rudyboy · 08-05-2005, 01:23 AM

Mine,i bought it at pep-boys for 18.00# a pair.It looks the same as factory.

1stTbuyer · 08-05-2005, 01:24 AM

I saw the single, oval shaped chrome exhaust tip for the diesels. The large diameter of the ellipse seems to be the same distance as the two tail pipe's of the gas models. It had a big lip, so the two pipe's might barely show. I was wondering if one of those could be slipped over the 325 and fastened if purchased from overseas. Those from outside the US who've seen them in person, what's your opinion?

It won´t fit. You´re mistaken about the size. It´s way to small.

bzzbenz · 08-05-2005, 08:42 AM

I think it made a big difference in the look of the rear end. A must imo.
Also you can take them off if you need to give them a good cleaning.

scottz5 · 08-05-2005, 08:44 AM

I like the way the 325i looks better IMO.

itznin · 08-05-2005, 08:59 AM

They are a MUST especially for the price!

Thanks for the reply. Too bad; it was one way to be different, specially with option code 0320.

BellasBmw · 08-05-2005, 12:21 PM

I got the chrome tips, they look great on my car! I love how silver looks with chrome accents. So i would def get them!

BMW786 · 08-05-2005, 01:47 PM

Hmmm.....looks like about 80 percent of you already have them or will get them.

Did you guys buy factory and how much did you pay for them?? It seems like $40 plus $10 shipping seems to be the norm around here...

With tax and shipping it was $52 total.

LEDZEP · 08-05-2005, 07:19 PM

I think they "complete" the look of the car. A must have.

Jimifighter · 08-05-2005, 07:49 PM

Got mine today and installed them in 27 seconds, look great.

UncleWede · 08-08-2005, 11:52 AM

I was toying with the idea of having them bead-blasted and then powder coated in black or some shade of blue-greeen to go with the Arctic. Might wrap them in electrical tape to get an idea of how it would look.
