320i exhaust tip

Hello to all. First time poster.

I'm looking for an oval exhasut tip for a E90 320i. I don't like the OEM chrome tip, but do like the OEM matt finish tips they started using the last couple of years, but my dealer says only the chrome one is available for purchase.

Found this but they won't ship to Europe (UK only) . Found some other exhaust tips on eBay, but the quality doesn't look good.

Also looked around the forum, but couldn't find anything for the 320i other than the one mentioned above. Does anybody know where I can find good quality exhaust tips like this? Or the part number for the OEM matt finish tip? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Proximo,
I too drive a 320i. My understanding is that the oval tip on the 07 320i is slightly different in shape to the oval tip on an 08 320i (although they look exactly the same.
I had the OEM chrome exhaust tip for my '07, but it would not fit on my friend's '08. So be careful when ordering the OEM matt silver tip for your car, make sure that it will fit on your model year 320i.
I recently bought an after market dual exhaust tip and it looks far nicer IMHO. Welding the tip on my standard muffler cost the equivalent of about 20 Euros, though I'm sure labour is far cheaper in my home country.
I do hope this helps.

A990,
My tips are 76mm in diameter (since they're dual tips, it's 76mm x 2. There's about a 5mm gap between the two. This is a great size for the standard cutout, not too big, not too small).
I don't have pics on my own car right now but I am including pics of another 320i owner with the same tips (I hope you don't mind that I'm uploading your pics man ).

You will see in the pics that he had to remove a small bracket on the standard muffler to properly install the tips (so that they do not stick out of the rear bumper).
Hope this helps.

A990,
These tips are made by a Korean company called Junbl. The company is quite well respected round these parts. And yes, they are double walled. The tips cost about the equivalent of 80 euros.
Good luck with your modding.
