Got new tips to replace my Porsche Cayenne style tips. Took them off and replaced them with 3.5" tips I got off ebay. Don't look the same. It's been less than 1/2 hour and I miss my tips already. I miss how my tips flow with the M5 bumper. It's like it was made for the car.


Replaced them with these. I should've gotten staggered tips. Doesn't matter. Selling the car soon anyways.



Comparison

I don't hate it. Just not used to it. I keep on thinking I have my old tips on. These tips are nice. They are like the Magnaflow 14816 I used to have before the quads. Think they would look even better gloss black. I wanted to get them powdercoated but didn't want to spend the extra cash on a car I'm going to sell.

I really like your new tips. The other oval ones belong on a Porsche SUV and they just don't look right on a BMW. In my opinion, that is.

He He i see...

you guys in that matter are realy lucky because you can easily buy one M5 for something like 40.000$ ~ 29.000??

And a guy like me who lives in Portugal one used M5 in here is something like 90.000$ ~ 60.000?

Not to mention the gas price just so you can have one ideia 1gal fuel in here is 7.8$, i dont know how much it is in there now but i'm prety sure its much less

Any way good luck with the sell and let us know how it is going
