Best knock-off M Performance exhaust tips?
At some point I'll find a great deal on a used M Performance exhaust, but until that time I have to do something about these tiny polished exhaust tips. I think BMW has priced their OEM tips past the point that any reasonable human would pay, so I'm looking at knock-off's as a band-aid.
If you've found a great set at a great price, please let me know. If you've found a terrible set at a great price, let me know that too, just so I can avoid them. Pix help. Thanks in advance! |

I went with these for my car: https://kemir.en.alibaba.com/product...4f247bdastZhoy, and they've lasted well so far for just over a year. Here are some photos of them installed: They look like the genuine M Performance tips, and they've fooled most people as well. In the photos above, I didn't have the M Performance carbon diffuser fitted, but have since done that. The clear coat on the tips is slightly different, which is a shame, but it's so close that I think even genuine parts might have that much variability. For reference, for the stock exhaust, I ordered:
Oh, and I think I paid around $250 for 4 and had them in mind hands within a week.

Thanks guys, I've ordered a couple of sets from a couple of different places. Once they come in I'll compare and send the ones I don't like back, and update the thread.

Just a quick update on this. After looking at exhaust tips ad nauseam I've decided that the ones I like best are the Remus 102mm carbon angled tips. Unfortunately there are no knock-off's available, so I had to choose some similar Akrapovic knock-off's.
I'll update when they come in. |

I just put on M4 slanted tips, not a fan of the weird sleeve over tip look. Would be too much CF with the MP diffuser anyway

Thats a good question.
I take them off for track days. Otherwise they would probably melt...

With those, can you see the ends of the exhaust pipes on the inside of the tips? That's one thing that annoyed me about those types of tips.
