Cheap Exhaust Finish!!

Not sure about any other E46 M3 owners but I am a bit disappointed in the finish of the exhaust. Considering how much this cost shoving some bits of crome tubing over the ends is not what I expected!!

There is a reason for that...

Hi John,

the chrome tips are specially designed to protect the exhaust system. They are supposed to take all the damage from crashes up to 15 km/h.

Check out the attached link, it's in german (and thous) very detailed and thorough (see page #5)

Greetings,
Joey

Joey, Thanks for the info which now explains how the chrome tips work in a crash. So now I can bore people even more about the thought that has gone into the M3.
