[QUOTE=fmzip;29921711]You have to remove the trim rings on the factory diffuser in order for the tips to pass through. With the trim on, tips will not fit. 3.5 inch tips will fit with both the CF diffuser and or the factory diffuser provided you remove the trim rings
You also need to cut the old tips off and weld in new piping That makes sense now, thank you! |

Thanks so much for that info. That makes sense.
While still somewhat straightforward there is a little complication insofar as removing the splash bottom and then carbon diffuser to get the tips off. Not that it is hard or anything but my shop aren't skilled when it comes to tinkering with body parts, haha and I am not sure if I want to trust them with it. |

I will need to watch some diy videos on removing that carbon fibre diffuser trim. That’s the only way I learn , I am not super handy but if it’s not overly complicated then I should be able to do it.

Replaced the Netami black chrome tips with some 3.5 matte carbon fiber tips suggested by fmzip . Looks less like looking up someones nose imo . Had them recessed a bit more so they sit more flush with the diffuser. Like the look a lot better.
Previous tips were a 4 and definitely noticeable going down a size. Of course have to preface excuse the poor quality Iphone rain pics. Had to have the shop do it since the welded on the last set.

I’ve got a whole thread on here looking for ideas - this is EXACTLY what I’m looking for! Any chance of a DM with some contacts etc? I’m in the UK but more than happy to pay to have this shipped to get the right thing. That look is perfect - and we have the same colour too! 🥰

Hey did you ever follow through with this? Im looking into this on my M850i, I also have the CF package and was hoping it would be as easy as you guys previously discussed.

Call BMW and ask them if you remove the resonator would it impede your warranty coverage................ That's beyond cosmetic appearance mods or replacement. I would guess they tell you warranty is void on exhaust related issues since you removed a piece of it. Granted I don't agree but they'd find a way to decline a claim if they can Last edited by fmzip; 12-19-2023 at 10:34 AM.. |
