Lost one of my exhaust tips a few months back, so been driving around with just the exhaust as is.. managed to source a fresh pair, very clean.. but now I've fitted them, they look kind of chavy and out of place.

I never minded it before they were lost, but now they stick out to me.

Cars an original SE but what's the history behind this? An SE option or standard?

Opinions?

They look fantastic as they were always meant to be.

I think they look fine...where did you get them from?

Shiny exhaust pipes are all ways a nice touch.

My Bmw is A 320i 2 doors with m-tech 2 kit 1989 with the original rear box it had black tips rolled at the edge crimped on, i managed to salvage them when a fitted a new box.

There are NLA as far as im aware.

The black chrome tips for M technic cars certainly are.

Posted: **Sat Feb 21, 2015 10:41 pm**

Yes NLA from the dealers.

Posted: **Sat Feb 21, 2015 10:42 pm**

Sorry is slightly off topic but do you know if shadow line aerials are NLA?

Posted: **Sat Feb 21, 2015 10:45 pm**

If they aren't I bet they cost a small fortune!

Posted: **Sat Feb 21, 2015 10:46 pm**

The last pair i bought were about £30.

For many many years now like all those gadgets. Shame really.. Think it would still sell today if reasonably priced.

I think the Crome ones are but you can get a shadow line mast new and just sand back and satin spray the mount of an old hirschmann and assemble. Just look for "sw" on the code for schwarz

Here you go, look on YouTube for mast replacement instructions.....pretty simple.

i dont like the new chrome pipese either much, its not the blingy thing, they just look a little after market / town centre saturday market .99p. the shadow line black chrome ones are mint though, if these are NLA , does anyone do a after market repro set?. i need new ones for my 325. do the E36 ones fit? same diameter rear exit pipe? are they NLA? does anyone know if its an option on a newer model than the E30 and could be used??.

Ebay.. replicas... by part number.. to the human eye there was no difference between this and the one remaining genuine tip I had left.

Ah, OK, thanks.

45mm. I'm after the 60mm version.

Ben

Posted: **Mon Feb 23, 2015 9:04 pm**

I thought only 45mm or 50mm was made for the genuine E30 exhaust pipes? The 50's being single piped... Or maybe that's just 320i's

Posted: **Mon Feb 23, 2015 9:18 pm**

Mine are 46mm. S-Eta has same double pipe exhaust as the later 320i's. Think the 50's are 325i as the pipes are thicker.

I might give this a try

Posted: **Mon Feb 23, 2015 9:23 pm**

I wouldn't go for them, as they don't resemble any E30 tips... These look more appropriate

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281305645436? ... EBIDX%3AIT

Posted: **Mon Feb 23, 2015 9:26 pm**

I got the ones here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=18&fg=20

It says they are 60mm. I haven't measured them but they fit my OEM back box.

Trouble is they are cut at a slant not square.

Ben

Posted: **Mon Feb 23, 2015 9:30 pm**

Bit pricey but depends how much you want them

Those are what I got. 82119401456. They are slant cut.

I want the square cut type.

Posted: **Mon Feb 23, 2015 10:04 pm**

No mines are nr 5 with the lip at the end which is convenient as i don't like the roundness tbh.

The best looking imo will still be to cut them off and chrome them. Also the backbox desperately needs sandblasting followed by a few coats of heatresistant silver before the rust gets any worse. Painted it when new 4 years ago

Looks the business with chromed endpipes! Should have done it then.

Cut them right about there at same length
