Cool Retrofit "square" exhaust tip to my round ones

I have 2015 3.5i, xLine with pure experience .
Rear bumper looks like this:

For some reason I'd rather prefer those square exhaust tips:

I'm not even sure where they coming from. It's not M package, right? M has different 1 piece bumper. Is it pure excellence thing?

So I need to figure part names and stuff. It seems like I need two things: rear bumper lower trim with rectangular cutouts and new exhaust pipe tips.
But I am having troubles identifying those parts. Could you help me?

You need to replace the rear valance with the one for the X5 50i non M sport line. Several websites sell the part and the squarish tips for under $400. RGSport in this forum could get it for u and even paint in black. Good luck.

You can get 40e/50i bumper and then 40e/50i/MPE tips.

Neuera09 kindly suggested me in pm this kit:

Lower Valence - W/ Chrome Tips
https://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-F15-X5...ody/ES2727829/



Seems good, right? Need to check if I need to cut the original exhaust or I can just disassemble.

I checked under the car and you need to cut the original and then assemble this retrofit.

In your case, you will need to get them locally.
Shipping to PR won't be cheap since it is very big.

Question, I own a X-Line 30d, as far as I understand, the 30d and 35d engines are the same (N57T) do you have this kit for sale? PM if you do please, I have been looking for this a long time ago.
Don't worry about shipping international, I have a Florida address where to ship it

Sorry, just saw your PM and reply.
This forum app doesn't give me notification anymore when there is a reply to my post.
I'll PM you in a bit.

seems pretty straight to install, but you need to weld the exhaust tips as far as I know

From the picture above I don't think you need to weld anything it has clamps in the kit. You may have to cut the original tips in a specific area.

It is a clamp.
If they weld it, double check it, make sure they didn't cheat you with some cut out from stock muffler.

Just got a quote for installation of bumper and exhaust tips from my local bodyshop:
Rear bumper - 2hr body labor = $110
Exhaust tips - 3 hrs mechanical labor = $266
Seems reasonable ?

If I'd like silver bumper shield to be painted =labor $87+ paint $42. Buy I was thinking no to paint first and see how it looks and maybe plastidip it for fun.
