"alex bidarian" or anyone out there..??

This idea that you can't just buy 4.8i tips and put it on a 3.0i or disesel is what I've been told by aussie dealers/parts department too...(they've told me the tips dont have a part no. they came with the muffler already

though has anyone heard of any bmw stores (online) or e-bay that have identical 4.8 replicas...or any companies that produce exhaust tips for european cars (esp replicas of certain models)

sersiouly the round ones are just too round, the (E53) 4.6is/4.8is are too flat, the 4.8i (e70) are the best....are we sure that no one anywhere has caught these somehow, somewhere....

Help people....

thanks
