Chrome Exhaust Trim 20D UK
Unbelievably, the parts department at my dealer reckons that the chrome exhaust finisher does not exist in the UK for the 20D SE! This in spite of me emailing them the relevant web page from the online accessories brochure.
Now I know that a fair few of you have this part fitted and wondered whether any of you had similar trouble? Also very helpful if one of you could check their invoice and post the part number if you still have it to hand. Many thanks. |

I ordered tailpipe chrome trim for my 2.0d from my local dealer here in Ireland, it was delivered and fitted four days later and looks well . Code B18.30.8.511.364 on my invoice

Give realoem a try for any future parts requirements so that you can give the spares monkey all the info they need

Ordered mine at point of order at dealer's, but self fit. It took about 20 seconds with a rubber mallet. Was not going to pay £100 for fitting.

They must employ some real deadbeats in spares at bmw dealers (our business is mainly spares and as this is our core business and provides far superior margins to capital sales we ensure our spares team are well informed and care about sales no matter the value - we put the oems to shame on service levels)

I'm sure it can be found somewhere, but I gave up after a minute.
Does anybody perhaps have a pic of this accessory?

thx!
That tip looks more like stainless steel than chrome. Not really a big difference to the original is it? The version for the 6 cylinder looks much better (IMHO)

That picture in the accessories brochure doesn't show the chrome tip.
There are plenty on here somewhere just I can't link through as I am on My iPhone. If you look under the space grey forum mine is on there. I still can't believe this isn't standard as it makes the car look significantly better and more premium. |

Exhaust pipe fixations ... wonder what Dr Freud would make of that
I bought chrome tips for my last car and they looked great for the first few months but soon became stained and tarnished even though I cleaned them (even with special stuff). Are these truly stainless? Do they clean back up to their original condition?

Tempting ... so long as it doesn't become a "rusty bullet hole"

These things are about £40. Not even half a tank of diesel.
Everyone get one. Give it a polish about one a month to keep the black exhaust soot at bay. If in 18 months it looks a bit tarnished get a new one. That's my plan if it happens. |
