Exhuast tips - any chrome options
My car came with the dull chrome tips on it is there a chrome option? I don't want anything too wanky and I can't justify a new exhaust for now... (my wife is spending all my cash... )
I did think about just going to my local powerflow centre and getting them to stick a set on or is there a better option? J. |

I think Dave II on here has had the converstion done to his, all I want it a set of trims to replace the dowdy matt finish in my standard ones.
Looking on the web I should be able to get set from BMW.... J. |

Anyone know the size of the exhuast tips on the 330's? I know, I know I could look at mine but my car is parked off site a couple of miles away.
I'm guessing something like 67-70mm? J. |

I had mine done at RSR Bromley, it's the second time I used them with good results, they will offer you a choice of tips, sizes, cuts.

I'm toying with doing the "creepy twin pipes" mod...
But @Married Blonde - can't you just get a chrome tip? Plenty on ebay - search the EU for "e90 auspuffblende"

THere's lots for the saloon and touring but nothing listed for the coupe
I can get the BM ones from my local dealer but they want £90 which I think's a bit excessive, although at this rate my only option... #j. |

Are standard tips ok as most seem to be the type you put over your original and tighten a bolt?

Standard tips slide over the pipes - there are retaining 'springs' internally.

Indeed; Powerflow "dealers" are a little hit and miss, it all comes down to the 'franchise holder' and his skill etc.......which does seem to be highly variable.
