Chrome Exhaust Tips for a E70 3.0si ???

[proveg]

On the home page there are instructions on the E53 bumper removal, I imagine they might be similar to the E70, sorry searched all over, but havent found any specific instructions. the E70 Trailer hitch instrucitons include info about removing bumper but nothing detailed enough, but could be your starting point.
Please let us know how it turns out, can you for now attach tips without cutting pipes and show us some pics?
Thanks.

i have AC Schnitzer exhaust tips i want to install but i may need to have the stock tip cut off an inch.... there isn't much clearance to cut around without touching the bumper/plastic area...and i don't want to scratch it or risk damaging it...

does anyone have documentation on removal???

i was more concerned about the PDC sensors on the bumpers.. not sure how they are affected when removing the rear bumper...

just wanted to know if there were any hidden connectors that needed to be removed..

i also plan on attaching the bolt-on tips without cutting anything this weekend just to see how they look... the tips are shortest i've found...(6.25inches long) and believe me i've been searching for months.....

but just from the looks of it, they will stick out a couple of inches...

Another member explained how he fitted a Euro tow bar to his E70 which required the removal of the bumper

That's ridiculous! How can installing end pipes affect the warranty on the muffler ? It is just a tube you are installing !

+1. Your SA is telling you BS. I had Hartge exhaust tips installed on my 6 series, I had AC Schnitzer exhaust tips installed on my 7 series. Hell, I have an Eisenmann Sport exhaust installed on my M6 and never did my SA tell me warranty would be void.

He may be talking differently if he would be selling the Hartge exhaust tips. If you like them just go get them. They look great.

Have any of you guys seen these tailpipes. Look very similar to the ones on the 4.8i.


I think they look better than the tailpipes offered by Hartge
