Today I saw my first 08 550i Sport in person and the car is AMAZING! However, I noticed that the exhaust tips where in a black finish but in the 08 brochure it shows them in chrome. The car was Carbon Black so I do not know if this had anything to do with it, but for people who have a 08 550i Sport what color are you exhaust tips? I am also looking for photos of the car in Alpine White and Titanium Silver, could you please post links?? Thanks!!

The exhaust tips are a sort of "black chrome" -- the finish is similar to the one on the wheels that BMW used on the E39 540i sport package around 1999 and on.

They look sweet!

Here's a link to some pics that sort of show the exhaust tips on my car before it went through it's PDI:

Rudy's beautiful photos make the exhaust tips look black. In reality they are black chrome and quite beautiful.

This gave my the answer to why the 535i exhaust are the same size as pre LCI V8's.
