Has anyone considered the black tailpipe mod?

I've come across a post but been unable to find it since. Be interested to see any photos of anyone that has.

They look great on the 530D M Sport IMO

Here's a DIY to paint the originals, all i can find atm:

And here's confirmation on the part numbers required for F30 330d, look at part 13, available is chrome, alu look & black chrome. $50 each, so probably about £50 each here!

Part number is 18 30 7 610 639 same as the 328i & 320d so probably all models.

No problem!

Usually cheapest place to buy genuine parts except ebay is:

http://www.bmminiparts.com/PriceFinder.aspx

They will require a reg/vin so if you don't have yours yet this is a 330d m sport reg YF62PWU

bmminiparts have got back to me, £69.86 for the pair + postage

I dare say you could recoup most of that by selling your chrome ones!

I've bought them, but they are still floating around in the back of the car, I havn't attached them yet, will post pictures when it's done, decided to do it to remove the last piece of chrome from the car as everything is black and white.

They look really nice, kind of a black chrome rather than just glossy.

Damn you Paul, I hadn't even considered the black exhaust tips until you mentioned them, now I keep thinking about them!!

I got bmw to change them, about £70 all in....looks much better..

Wait for the pictures, they ll help you

Look out for a 525 or 530 MSport to get a glimpse, that's what made me think they'd look awesome and work very well. Also obscures the twin pipes in anything other than good light which helps hide the model (keeping the 330d on the back of mine tho). Do share if you invest

Lol, this is where it all starts!

I notice your round the corner in Reigate, have there been any local 'meets'? I'm in Horsley.

I got the black pipes fitted prior to collection for £70 and it was money well spent.

A simple mod that improves the back so much

No meets that I'm aware of, did one once, all a bit awkward I thought. "...so, you have a TT too, and on the forum you're called TTnut... hmm nice car. " Probably my cynical view on the world. It was OK, but can't help think it's for young 'uns.

Anyway, I'm not talking to you because I've just ordered some black paint which YOU made me to buy!

I still can't get over the Moonstone paint, outstanding choice sir. Imagine those black pipes go so well. I'll find your pict posts to see if I can spot them.

[teaston]

Well i've pulled the trigger on these!

After looking at this photo with the M5 with black tips in the background i knew i had to have them!

[Paulvr6]

This helps

Hi,

You can order them from the stealer for £41.10 each (including VAT) so it would be £82.10
