My question is... Why?
The different pipes identify your vehicle from behind. For those that paid for the 4.8 enjoy standing out and for what they paid.. they should.
In my opinion... others will notice pipes that quickly identify your vehicle as 4.8 and then observe you have the 3.0 model. I have actually seen this done and it looked so stupid. The pipes did not even fit correctly.
I have also seen people debadge their vehicle. Anyone with a 4.4 or 4.8 would never do this so it tells everyone that you have the 3.0 anyway.
If you wanted the oval pipes... you should have ordered the 4.8 model. If BMW meant for you to be able to customize the pipes... it would have been an option at design time.
Point being... don't waste your time trying to look like a 4.8 model. In the end your car will look ridiculous.
