Stopped at my local dealer the other day and checked out the exhaust tips on their M6 convertible. They are just simple slip on's and can easily be taken off.
I ordered 4 new tips and plan to have them powder coated in shadow line black to replace the current chrome tips (the UK M5 edition (black) tips are not yet available via the parts system) . As others have mentioned Dimsa is also an option I used their tips on my old E90s and they worked great.
