M635's pictures | I say keep them chrome. Your car is black, need a little contrast, and people need to see the center exhausts, which is awsome. |

 You're right, they would look great on the 6er with the subtle chrome trim that it has. Though, I wonder if they're going to be the correct size...? 45mm you say..? Is the next set also 45mm..? Let me check my sizing...! B. | |

direction88's pictures | You know my opinion on chrome but for exhaust I think its A-OK then again I would have to see the black ones if it were my car and choice. For now my vote is on the chrome. |

carter's pictures | I think they'll look great Mark... a little chrome on a black car will essentially just reflect shiny black. |

| Senior Member | Mark, My euro has a pair of busted-ass chrome tips that I've been trying to replace. I got a set of the 46mm ones that you can still get from the dealer, but they're too short. If you know where I can get a set, or if yiou want to part with a set, let me know.

| Senior Member | Jay, If you can find a pair of OEM Shadowline 45mm tips, you can gladly have these. I want my M5 to be stock so prefer the the OEM tips. Let me know before I try and strip these etc. The second set I have coming is sort of spoken for by a member of this board. (Blake) If he decides not to take them you can have those ones right away. They cost me $75 shipping incl. from Germany. Not sure if they have any more sets.
