Default Need m5 rear bumper exhaust opening specs

Does anyone have the specs for the OEM M5 rear bumper openings for exhaust.

I just purchased an M5 rear bumper and some oval exhaust tips. I fear the oval exhaust tips I have ordered are too wide in length.

I need to know the dimensions of the openings on the m5 rear bumper. I was told its between 7-8" and my exhaust tips are roughly 9.5" and I fear I will not be able to install them.

I may have the body shop shave off the edges of the bumper before installing it if needed.

Too big, the max u can use are dual 3.5 inch. Which is total 7.5 with 1/2 in gap between the 2 tips. My guess is the opening is about 8 1/4. That is a lot of shaving for that tip. It will be way out of proportion, and won't look nice. It's just my 2 cents.

I am comparing my tips to the eisenmann tips used widely on the m5.

the dimensions of the eisenmann's are 4x120x77mm

120mm x 2 = 240mm = 9.44 inches

the eisenmann are hugged tightly together but are roughly the same length unless my calculations are completely off some how.
