My Ride: Bmw 530d 2004
I've managed to go pretty far with my blacked out theme in my car, but I haven't been able to find black exhaust tips yet...
That's pretty strange, since I thought it would be such an easy job
.
Anyone know where I could get ones. I'd prefer some Europian seller.
And about the eBay... I just don't understand it, I mean that I suck in searching things in there

ObD Suggested these:
part # 18107500498 - Exhaust pipe extension SCHWARZ, 4.4 L E53 with sport package
I need to make sure they'll fit though since he's got at 535 and mine's a 530.

I wasn't aware of OEM part. Maybe I should visit the local dealer and ask if it fits my 530d...
Any other choices?

It's called Powdercoating, which is what I did to my exhaust.

Thanks Calvin (got the name right?)!

I just got off the phone with my local dealer. He said the 535 and 530 (US version) tips have a different part number, but the description did not list the dimensions, so he's not sure if the it's the size or shape that's different.
Does anyone know if a US 530i and 535i and a Euro spec 530d have different diameter exhausts, and if so, what sizes?
Thanks.
