I ordered some Amazon center caps and they were crap quality. Looks like the majority of the aftermarket caps look to be the same build. |

I'm still getting used to it. Now trying to sell the Style 168's, asking price is 400 eur (470 USD). Might be a little steep because they have some marks, will see if there is any interest. |

Would love to see a link for those. How was the fit? I could use some new ones myself.

I ordered these for my 87s, but I paid $4.99 which makes me laugh but they look and feel like the factory ones...

I got the same ones as Purplecty posted. The price made me question the build quality but fitment is good. Also replaced the rear badge(non OEM item) as the old one had some small damage. My twin brother was approched by a local who had heard the story about my X5 that was stolen and found again. She still had some tow mirrors laying around that she didn't need anymore as they sold their E53 and got an E70 instead. The E53 tow mirrors didn't fit the E70. They had someone with an E83 X3 try them but it didn't work either. I think these are kind of rare nowadays, I could't find them for sale new or used. She didn't want any money for it at all! I want to give them at least a small amount of money to show my dignity. They will be moving away soon too OEM BMW E53 tow mirrors, perfect fit! Ever since I removed the resonator with simple straight pipe I was not 100% happy with the exhaust. Change is needed. 2.5'' stamped X pipe along with some 2.5'' tubing was bought: I'm still running the dual 2.5'' electronic cut outs after the cats. One of them is fitted perfectly out of sight but the other can be seen from the side, I want to relocate the cutouts to the place where the original resonator used to be. So I'm thinking of doing it this way: Stock headers -> Stock cats -> 2.25'' to 2.5'' converter -> 2.5'' X pipe -> 2.5'' cut outs -> stock rear muffler flanges to stock muffler. If the cut outs do not fit there I will probably get rid of them. If this is still too quiet then I will have a go at cutting open the stock rear mufflers and modify them. Either leave them empty or weld in perforated tube with sound absorbtion and stuffing. Probably the latter as the other option is essentially a straight pipe from the cats. Why not replace the rear mufflers completely, you ask? I want to keep my current tips and I could not find new tips that are nearly the same and if they exist they are pricey. When I get all this done I will post up some soundchecks and pictures of the exhaust and inside the mufflers but it might be november/december by then :-) Since I regularly like to use my paddles I decided to extend them a little Weather has been shit out here so still no high quality pictures of the freshly powdercoated Style 87's |
