My Ride: 2010 BMW 530i E61, alpine white, cream-beige interior, sports-auto-transmission and a lot more-
do you guys find that the tips would go under if I mount my black diffuser?
it was painted high gloss black, so the tips must be painted also high gloss, or maybe matte?
decision over decision..
the biggest question is, where I can find other tips that fit my exhaust(530i)? possibly black?

My mods are coming!!!!
The M5 Mirrors, M5 Trunk Finisher and M5 Trunk Spoiler have been painted and are at Schmiedmann ready for shipment! Hopefully installation next week or the week after... now comes the intense phase of the waiting game
The windows are being tinted tomorrow afternoon
And I just ordered the OEM Black-Chrome exhaust tips that come as standard on the US LCI 550i Sport
I think it gives a clean look and I think they're also a slightly different form, which means they might actually cover more of the exhaust tail pipe
All will become clear soon!
I know I said I was not going to post any pictures of E60s in the E61 section, but seeing as narvselius and ivano are considering this mod(- yes, its their fault
) , here is what the OEM black-chrome tips look like on Carbon Black.

Nice!! 
Now it's your fault that I want my tips black!
We'll see if I can wrap my tips with CF-wrap that I left over from the last interior wrap-action(last E61)...
Will the wrap last long,since the tips become very hot
?

I had the 128s on my M-Sport E61 and loved the look
(I am selling a set of OEM M5 mirrors - pm me if you are interested.)

My Ride: 2008 Black E61 530Xd - M-sport - Comfort - Advantage
Today just ordered the first KW3 x-Drive suspension in Finland (bought from the importer, dunno if anyone got it straight from Germany). It was promised to be shipped to Finland in couple of weeks.
Also ordered a set of (too small) 19" wheels from Breyton.
I know most of you don´t like that size, but it´s all good for my purpose...but no worries there will be something extra with that set
If everything goes well the suspension and the wheels will be installed at 29.5.2010
I have the OEM gloss black kidneys and will install them at the same time.
