Z4 35is exhaust tips change help?

Post by sunnydays » Fri Oct 06, 2017 2:52 pm

Hey all,

My 35is tips imo are a touch to small, and im not keen on the brushed finish. These are welded on and need to be cut off to be changed. I am how ever happy with the way it sounds.

I saw some M exhaust tips at the dealers a few days ago but I do not know enough about exhaust modification to know wether these would fit. (67mm internal diamater from what I remember)

Does anyone have the measurements for the 35is tips and wether there is a certain internal and external diameter criteria that needs to be hit?

Thanks!

Did someone not put X6 tips on and they looked really good. I think there was quite a bit of work to get them to look right though.

Think it was X5 tips. Do you need to cut the old ones off?

This is a thread with the car I was thinking of. The exhaust tips just fit so well and the slash cut just looks like a factory finish.
