Well, maybe I'm alone, but I think the 520d exhaust looks just great as it is Why add bling to what is a clean piece of machined SS?

No i think they more like a dual exhaust than one big oval exhaust.
Andy like you say; you gotta like it, it is your car

Could be true because i didn't see that it was like 2 pieces.

But what do you guys think about this comparision :

Before:
Attachment 17667

And after:
Attachment 17668

Should definitely look sportier
I've found some oval shaped ones which might fit. Would you be able to measure the height/width of your tail pipe and i will check. I am looking too as my 520d arrives in June.

This may be a daft question, but don't BMW offer one as an aftermarket extra? I seem to recall seeing such an option for the E90 when they launched the 320 models which have single oval tail pipes.
