I think I'd rather spray some high temp paint in there rather than have the dealership monkeys replace the exhaust and potentially introduce new rattles and problems.

I'm of a similar mind as @weez here though. As long as the issue remains isolated to the black interior of the exhaust tip I will just fix it up in the spring with some high-temp rustoluem. Then again I might splurge for a quad-tip cat-back replacement instead, seems a good enough excuse as any right? |

This won't work though if the exhaust gets real bad quickly and we can't put up with driving around with a rusty pipe back there |

As I understand it, a warranty can only be voided due to modifications if it can be determined that the modifications in some way led to the warranty claim. If my transmission blows up or my suspension fails they can't point to the exhaust tips as the cause. Aside from using the wrong paint and causing a fire there is no risk here.

Same Issue
Early Sept 2018 build, about 3K miles. Living in NE USA. Left exhaust tip paint is flaking. Looks the same as the OP. I'll take it in in the Spring...

They replaced both end cans finally... I'll see how it goes over the next few weeks... no rattles like the original exhaust though

I noticed a 2019 X5 in my work parking lot today with the same issue real bad. Almost not black paint left inside the exhaust tip!
Mine is getting pretty bad on the left side too. No flaking on the right yet.. Seems to only affect builds from Sept/Oct time frame based on whats been reported here so far huh? I guess thats good? |

I noticed it's only on the left as well. I wonder if it has something to do with the exhaust dampers being closed on that side at various times.

My left side has the same flaking issue now, Oct 2018 build with 3k miles. I'm weighing my options, not sure if I want to go see the dealer now, or wait until the first service call... |

They replaced the end "section" as they referred to it. Apparently it's the end cans plus a section of pipe. And the issue is now completely resolved

I took delivery of mine in early October 18 so it was a late September build as well. I just turned 8,000 miles and today noticed the paint inside my left tailpipe tip is flaking off as well. Ugh!

The paint flake is rather flimsy and the exposed area is still metallic shiny so no sign of corrosion or deterioration of any nature, yet... |
