still cannot decide whether or not i should go with 4" tips or 3.5"
because when you look closely, 4" tip looks REALLY huge, but i think maybe it will look ok when installed, and maybe even look better on highway because people look from far away

here are pictures for 4" tips, do you guys think it looks too big?
please help me decide, if 100% people say it is too big, then i will not install and go with 3.5"

Well, for one thing - hold them level and they will look better Really, they look great and fill the opening nicely, just stick with them

I am sure they will fit, I have the ASR exhaust on the M5 and I am pretty sure they are also 4" tips and fit perfectly. Just double or even triple check that the tips are straight when they weld. Check for side angles and rear views and most importantly the tips should stick in too much or out. Share some pics once you done, GL

Agree. Not to mention that finding and/or building a set for the XI is not easy, nor cheap.

would love to see how it looks installed.. or a shot showing the whole rear end with the tips. I think it'll look sweet!
