- Exhaust Tips - BCS Group Buy ! -

I could be wrong but I thought the mini tips fitted on the MPE back box?

EDIT: No, I don't think so. I've just tried one on a 65mm pipe and I couldn't force it on. I believe MPE is 67mm?

Marco have you used your vernier to measure the diameter of the stock exhaust? mm?

[marco_polo]

Yes, stock is 60mm nominal, and reasonably round for cheap tube.

These seem to be there or thereabouts on the basic measurements,a slot would need cutting for the peg,easy enough.
Plain sort of style,but shiny stainless and cheap as chips...might give them a go?

Stock are only 80mm, so these might look like pea-shooters? Let us know how you get on.

With some luck if you run through every manufacturers exhaust tips you might find some that will fit, glad there some ginnea pigs on here

Agreed,smaller but only by 5mm,so perhaps won't be too bad.

Righty, Mini Cooper tips fitted.

Had to make some 304 stainless adapters, 75mm long:



Once the adapter sleeves were bonded on with exhaust adhesive, this was the result. You can just see a 1/4" of the adapter sleeve (until it soots up):



Total spend, £55.50

Would it be the same fitting process on the 140 Marco?

[marco_polo]

I would expect so, I believe the M135i and M140i share stock exhaust tips, so both should be 60mm outlet?

Good job, marco. They look excellent.

Are they proper stainless steel and if so are you expecting them to fare better than the stock/435i/BMS tips?

Nope, they're chrome plated mild steel again, they look like posh MPE tips (but without the /M Badges).

I fail to believe anything will fare worse than the Burger rip-off tips, but should weather similarly to MPE/435i being OEM.
