Exhaust tips question
Can anyone tell me if the chrome tips on the exhausts are the slip on kind as they are on other M's? And also, are they the same size as, say an M5's slip on tips? Reason I am asking is because I want to order Black tips from cyba and he hasnt done an X6M yet. Id like to confirm the size. I dont have the truck yet but want to order the tips. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx to all.

We wanted to offer an OEM option in Matte or gloss black but found out the tips are not removable like the M3/M4/M5/M6 and even when ordering with BMW the tips only come with the new X5M & X6M muffler systems. Not possible to order them alone.

I just installed new black tips. Got all 4 tips from a local muffler shop for $300 with install. Yes, they are angle cut and same size as stock ones. Got the badge from Supreme Power near Fullerton, CA. I accidentally deleted the first photo, I'll start a new thread soon of my car with more pix

Tips Look great. Any details? Same size as stock or bigger? Also double walled or single? Can't tell from pic. They look angle cut.
Looks great. How was badge done?Painted a stock one? More pics of your truck. Love it in white.

Has anyone figured out a way to do this without cutting and welding? Nate@IND, are you guys offering anything at this point? Neal23, can you post some pics? I'm in LA as well and can certainly make my way to Fullerton if you like the work Supreme Power did. Not my preference to go the cut and weld route but if I have to.... Thanks all! |

I taped off the entire back of my car, the. Sanded, primed with flameproof primer and then added 3 light coats of flameproof flat black paint. Works great, we did this on my wife's rover and it has been on the road for 6+ months and looks great. Mine has been on for about 2 months and looks great ( in my opinion).

So it seems to be the consensus that the F86 exhaust tips are welded on. Bummer. So I'm open to having a muffler shop cut them off from the inlet pipe, but before I take the plunge I need to figure out which aftermarket tips can fit the stock inlet pipe. Can someone tell me the size of the stock inlet pipe (leading to the exhaust tips)? Thanks!

Hey all, need your help. Does anyone have a stock F85/F86 X5M/X6M stock exhaust tip that they're willing to sell? Without boring you with the details, I took the plunge and cut off the tips, powdercoated them, and re-installed. One of the tips was damaged in the process.... If yes, please let me know how much you would want. Thanks a lot guys!
