Chrome Exhaust Tips for a E70 3.0si ???

Alex Bidarian · #1 07-17-2007, 12:05 PM

Has anyone changed the standard dull looking black exhaust tips of the 3.0si to the chrome tips ??? If yes, who has the best deals on the net on these puppies with a BMWCCA discount ?

Thanks,

See attached photo of chrome exhaust tips as fitted to my 3.0dSE. These were supplied by BMW.

X5JDX,

Are these from a 3 series 335i and they are just plugged over the standard tips?
Thx

Pretty sure that they are specific to the E70, the cut matches the rear profile perfectly.

I will post the part number and price here soon (don't have the spec sheet to hand just now).

BTW: I was hoping that the dealer was going to fit the 4.8 squarer tips, but to be honest the round ones look pretty good and I don't have to go hacking and welding a brand new car. The price of the round tips was very reasonable.

Thanks X5JDX, I also prefer the round ones vs the 4.8, and they look like a very easy fit too. They do look great. Any moreinfo/part numbers greatly appreciated.
thanks

I myself are looking at changing the factory exhaust tips for the E70 3.0. Does anybody know if I can fit the large 4.8 E70 tips into the 3.0? I just love that look.

Appreciate the input.

I guess you cannot put the factory OEM chrome tips on the 3.0si from the 4.8i. I am sure you can buy some aftermarket ones and put them on, but not the OEM ones from the 4.8i.

Good luck. I just ordered the same ones as the black X5 3.0 above from a New Jersey dealer for a $100 + shipping.

That sucks. I guess I have to look around for the aftermarket one's. If not I'll do the same chrome tips that you're getting.

Thanks.

Do you mean like this?

I think he means similar ones, but not quit yours look too round/oval....

I looked into the same thing...

The reason you can not get the E70 4.8 tips is because they are part of the muffler and for a set it will run you about $600 USD.

Here is the next best thing. You can purchase the E53 (X5) 4.6/4.8is tips...they are very similar to the E70 4.8 tips and are OEM...you can order them from the board sponcer Morristown BMW for $220 (set).

...Or if you want to spend even less, then just get the aftermarket ones like some of the people on this board already did from e-bay for $110.

through my research this is the best you can do...unless you find a totaled E70 4.8 at your local junk yard purchase the rear mufflers with the exhous and cut the tips off then have them welded....
