chrome tailpipe trim

nr09 · 08-15-2012, 06:33 PM

just picked these up from the dealer. very easy to install only took a couple of minutes and a hex wrench. really improves the look of the rear IMO

BMW_Belgier · 08-15-2012, 06:37 PM

Big improvement

jacobsed · 08-15-2012, 07:57 PM

Don't they all come with that trim piece?

E90Company · 08-15-2012, 07:58 PM

Much better

2ndname · 08-15-2012, 08:36 PM

I picked one up from a fellow member here, it's worth every penny. Makes my janky looking pipes presentable, haha.

as far as I know, the LCIs have a different muffler design featuring a matte aluminum look but pre-LCI 325s and 328s don't come with any additional trim.

yeah i agree, I paid $110 which was probably too much but in the end I don't mind because it really improved the look of the rear

My LCI has a brushed aluminum style look, it isn't chrome.

Ok, I have a 2006 330xi and it has the chrome trim piece so I just thought they all did.

Nice looks good I need to do that to mine. Where did you get the tips from ?

Amini77 · 08-15-2012, 11:02 PM

Anyone know where I can get a pair of Remus tips??? I have these: (not my car and its dark out right now to take a picture)

Doesn't look to good on my car lol too much bling just cause they're so thick. But I do love the chrome if my tips weren't too fat. And sadly I don't think I can find REMUS tips under $100. Should I color them? Maybe gloss black? PLEASE HELP haha

seems like your thick tips are welded as one piece so you might see if a muffler shop can do a retrofit to something normal

My '11 wagon had chrome finishers stock. Did this change over time or is it an e91 thing? Like how all (LCI at least) e91s lack chrome window trim in the states.

Does BMW make chrome finishers for the Performance Exhaust? The tips are much bigger, but they are just the stainless steel pipes, not finished. Though I suppose they are so big they might not fit in the opening with finishers on them.

Tips do make a HUGE difference.

Off topic...but are your rims painted?

2ndname · 08-16-2012, 02:04 PM

Yes. Had crazy amount of marks due to the previous owner. Went ghetto covering it up with plastidip since the tires are brand new, haha

I have an LCI that came with the brushed aluminum; however, I removed them and put the chrome tips from the 330. Works like a champ and looks much better!

it just slides on and then you affix a screw to keep it in place. no drilling or welding required
