Update!

I have finally received my tail pipes. Now just to have them fitted this afternoon or tomorrow. I am planning on removing the stickers, depending on how it looks on the car.

I also found some very nice wheels, which is the same sizes as what is currently on my car. Can anyone tell me what style these are?

Still driving around with messed up kidneys. I will make time this weekend, I owe it to the car. I already got the M colour strips as well to stick on.:skit:

Here is a another fanatics car that looks similar to what I want my kidneys to look like:

Lekker man! Enjoy. I'm busy fixing my 320i up to trade or sell. Also heading the diesel route. I've seen the black smoke of economy/performance balance.

So far I am all smiles! Massive upgrade from the 320i in terms of performance and economy. I would buy this car again and again... :tiptoe:

Remove the stickers from, the tailpiece. It won't suit the car.
Why didn't you go for the stepped one you posted?

I originally ordered that one, but they were out of stock and I was impatient so this is second best. Yeah, I removed the stickers just after I posted, it makes the pipes look tacky and as you say, wont suit the car.

I keep seeing a 320d touring around my mechanics place. Thinking of putting an offer on his windscreen. But it's an auto - don't know what I'd tell my left foot....

Manual all the way!!! Although my dad's 320d Auto isn't too bad, especially in traffic. I enjoy sideways too much to go auto again...

It's a problem for me. Even when my wife drives my leftie taps the carpet around gearchange time. Clutch junkie.
 
Personally I believe the auto box married to a diesel motor is a great combination. My 320d was also manual, the next one will be auto though.

I have to agree, a staggered pipe would have looked better! The wasn't the result I was really expecting, but still a whole lot better than the stock piece.

All in all this cost me R500, so not too bad.

OFF WITH HER HEAD!

When I hit 3500rpm now, there is a little whistle/blowing sound coming from the tips. Im still deciding if I like it or not. Car looks much better though so im happy. :tiptoe:
