Slip On 3.75 Inch Black Exhaust Tips

Been stalking this option since before I got my F85 and was disappointed that Burger Tuning stoped making them. It all started with this thread (can't thank the OP enough)...

https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1554557

From there, I had decided on painting them and was ready to order the paint when someone pointed this out...

https://modeautoconcepts.com/product...8207e294&_ss=r

Decided to take a chance and give it a shot. Ordered from Australia on 10/3. $256.49 USD shipped (Last DHL shipping update was 10/9) and the vendor was super responsive saying shipping was taking longer than normal. They magically showed up yesterday! Loved them right out of the box.

They are beefy for anyone who knows how big a large Dunks cup is...

So, in the Burger thread above, the OP cut the ends of the tabs of inside (you do this because, remember, these aren't made for the F85/86). I didn't have tin snips so I just bent the tabs flat with pliers. You have to lift them up and be careful not to damage the mouth of the exhaust tip. WARNING! - I was bending the tips back at first to work from the back of the tip and I broke a whole tab off. Thanks god it went on securely with 4 and my hack job repair on the one I broke.

Before:

Had to be patient (not my strong suit) and wait a day after I ceramic coated them:

Finally put them on today. It's snowing like crazy here so my pictures stink with no room backed into my garage. Will add better pictures when weather is better and the M is clean. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with how they fit and look. I did flatten the tabs inside as much as I could with my thumbs as my initial test fit showed they were going to take a ton of force to get them on. After flattening, they slide right on and almost click into place. They aren't going anywhere.

Anyway, if you've been on the fence or waiting for me to be the guinee pig, DO IT!

Nice option for those that don't want to change their entire exhaust.

Just installed mine as well from the same company. I bent and broke off a couple tabs so I used Permatex Muffler and Tailpipe sealer between the outside of the stock tips and inside of the new tips. They are bonded for life as well as friction fit.

Looks great! I've been debating on doing this and think I may have found the same ones on AliExpress cheaper.

I love these forums. I think I only have 6 pieces of chrome on my car left: the roundels and the exhaust tips. Already have new roundels on the way. And I am going to pick these bad boys up next. Thanks OP!!!

Edit: just purchased from Mode.

Definitely, let everyone know if you get these. If they are the same quality and fit, that's a great price even with $58 shipping.

Nice! I'm on the fence on the roundels, but everything else is black on mine as well.

I installed these on my wife's M2 a month ago and they're fantastic. Enough to make a difference, yet subtle enough to where they could be OEM.

Sorry...I just meant my roundels are stock and I'll probably leave them. I was just saying my kidney grills, side vents, X5M badge and exhaust tips are now all black on Donnington. Can definitely get you some pics, but I'm assuming you have all of these things done already.

Yeah. I'm assuming it does a number on the stock tips. I had brief second thoughts before I pressed the first one on, but just told myself if I hated the black tips, I could just buy $4k aftermarket exhaust to fix the tips.

My attempt at humor was a little weak there. I was saying if I hated the black tips when I put them on, and the OEM chrome tips were damaged from the press fit (and I'm sure they were), I could rectify the problem with a whole new exhaust!
