Possibly

It is an extremely long screw though. From the bottom of the bracket (#3 on diagram: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/w/m/82.png) to the top of the Ractive tip, the screw only came down about 2 inches. I'll see if I can take some pics after work to explain it better, it is confusing without seeing it.

For reference, this is without trimming anything off the Ractive tip - tip sitting flush against muffler.

I also don't know how guys were able to weld the tips on without dropping the exhaust or removing the bumper, there's barely any room in there.
