You can't buy the exhaust tips from BMW so I am looking for someone who is scrapping an exhaust back box, I'd be happy to take the tips (need all 4) in any condition as long as they are not physically damaged.

I want to try a coating on them instead of the normal finish to see what they look like and how they last.

Thanks.

Are you 100% sure about that ?
Last time I checked (about 10 months ago) they were available... BMW part No.: 181 078 32 644
Mind you @ around £80 each (£320 for all 4 tips) I thought it was a bit rich so hunted down a set of 4 excellent used ones on fleeBay for a fraction of what BMW wanted :thumbs:
BTW what coating do you have in mind ?

It was a while back (5 years) when I checked but at that price I wouldn't buy them from BMW anyway, I am thinking of this: http://www.zircotec.com/page/tailpipe_coatings/197 in diamond black

I heard great things about Zircotec. Top stuff but expensive as I recall. Black zircotec tips would look amazing on our cars although stock tips could look even smaller that way.

Where did you order from since there seems to be a disparity in price

BMW, I get 15% off for being a BMW Car Club member, they were £133.62 all in.
