I really dislike the trapezoidal exhaust tips that came as standard. I think they make the car look like a godless black smoke belching planet-destroying derv from behind.

Quite pleased with these 'chinky produced' but well made heavily chromed tips from the land of the slitty eye, which cost just £80 delivered.

Bigger brand names were anywhere between £200-£400.

Chav my zorsts. 

In photo one I thought they looked on the large side but in photo two they look great.    Looks like a proper M car now.

Don't forget to tell your insurance company that you've modified your car

I agree - the tips in pic 2 look great, far better than the originals . A pair of chromed twin tipped tailpipes look the 'dogs'
Nearly as good as the original stainless angled twin tips on an original fitment GM tailpipe on the 3.2 Elite....!

Some of the backward facing baseball cap wearing 'max power' boys probably go for 4 or 5 inches......but these are 3.5 inches which is the same as standard on the M2.

Personally I think they should have come like this as standard.

Some times I think car designers lose the plot.  The new 7 Series has the most hideous headlamps I Have seen on recent cars.

Plus going back to even the Lotus Carltom.  Wheels, same rotatation design on both sides, so looks the biz from the passenger side and the drivers side just looks wrong.  With CNC tech these days, just click a button, mirror the patern, click start.

I agree, it looks so much better.  I’d be well happy with that.

The whole front end can be described as that.

This is the bit of bent tin that came off. Quite large being about 12 inches across.

It really does look much better, but BMW are not about to fit them as standard. That would be an extra £10,000.

 BMW M2 is roughly £15000 more than the M240. I suppose BMW want to differentiate between the poverty spec M240i M-Lite and the full fat M car.

Personally I can't see £15000 worth of difference between the two.

Dare I say I prefer the originals, more subtle

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

The rest of the car isnt exactly subtle though.

They look like something you would find on the arse end of something that won't rev past 5000RPM and belches out thick black smoke.

Or that's fitted to a 1.6T snot box to hide the sad little 1.5" tubes in the middle (Audi being the worst offenders I've seen for this.

Personally I like the swap
