Just fitted some OEM Exhaust Trims

9InchPianist · 07-13-2011, 03:06 PM

I bought some genuine exhaust trims (part number 18307551507) from the BMW parts department today and have just slipped them on tonight (2 minute job).

I think they tidy up the rear no end - here's some before and after shots...

There were no trims on the car?

...looks much better.

None on the car when I bought it - are they standard then?

Also ordered some chrome dust caps with M-Sport logos on which should arrive tomrrow :-)

I like subtle tidy mods that are greater than the sum of their parts.

looks a lot more respectable

do not think chrome exhaust tips came standard on the base z4s.

I must get a set of those for my 2006 z4 3.0i!

My 2004 3.0i (the 'top' model for the year) Doesn't have any shiny tips. But the exhaust does look a little bigger. I've thought about getting those chrome tips, but I have dreams of something a tad bit more obnoxious.

I looked up the PN on Tischer and it says that these are for the facelifted Z. Do you know if there is a difference in the exhaust diameter/shape at the tip from the pre-facelift Z's?
