On your 3.0 ,you will have to buy "Y"piece tips ,where on one side they fit your oem tip,on the other end they will show twin tips.See the sketched examples below.To fit these ,you need to weld them.

I am sure my 6 year old and small peolple will disagree with you on the functionality of the RBs!

Juan,

I think all of those would look great on your X5. I really like the titanium stuff I put on mine a few months back. I also put the chrome exhaust tips on mine and love it........(I have Steel Gray Metallic) and I think it blends nicely...........

You've got my vote for all of that!!

I just posted the tip photos to give Juan an idea on how to install on his 3.0i
and how important it is for him(if he goes ahead with it?) to use a "Y" tip for
his install.

I am sure that ther are better sites with more choices outhere.

Juan,
Make sure you get the running boards before the closing. That tax bill may make her change her mind.
Get your angel eyes free, get a set of DPE's from jlevi.

Yeah! They serve a purpose to the vertically challenged, although they are a tad slippery when wet/snowy.
