IMHO the oval tailpipe looks better than the twin setup. Looks very butch and makes a power statement. But of course if you want other drivers to believe the car is a larger engined model the oval pipe has to go. The majority wouldn't know the difference.

Scroll down to post #18 and have a look at the chrome tailpipe. The owner confirms that the tailpipe costs 18 EUR at the dealer (see post #36). Is the E90/91 excaust the same as E60/61? It looks the same anyway.

The standard 320d exhaust is an oval one going downwards because it does not have a particle filter. On the option list of bmw you can take the option having a twin exhaust, but you are obliged for taking the option particle filter as well.
So I think there is a difference with 320d. I doubt it will fit on 520d.
I have seen exhaust from Schnitzer. Not a twin exhaust, but the edge of the exhaust looks like a twin one, except it is completely open in the center. You understand what a mean ?!?
