Bmw x5 50i with the x5m exhaust
Folks,
So as a complete newbie I was offered to purchase the x5m muffler at the fairly cheap price of $800 Obviously the major issue would be the lack of fit with the rear bumper; i was considering purchasing the x5m bumper and swapping it; is that even feasible? Would the part fit, since they are both e70? As an afterthought after reviewing post of the megan racing exhaust the stock x5m exhaust could not be the most ideal option( i luv the blu tips) I guess i'm back to square one: either dinan with a perfect fit $4k for the total or the "homemade" bumper swap.. Any thought? Thanks

it'll be cheaper to just get an exhaust thats made for your 50i. theres a guy on here who sold his 50i but he did a x5m conversion on all the bumpers
search through his threads http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=786184

agreed; so the Megan racing seems to be an option, but since it does not fit for the stock x5 [i guess the tailpipes are bigger], i was considering getting the muffler and use the stock pipes.. just more welding...

they are too thin, the outlet is like 1.5inch which is the biggest opening on any after market exhaust for the M's but they are single walled and it just doesn't look that good from far. I like the prominent tips on the eisenmann race black series. I can live with them but if its not too hard I want to switch them up. I remember a while back Biff Grissel was selling his dinan exhaust might still be for sale if your interested.

keep in mind that with stock exhaust 2 valves are closed on cold start so thats going to kill the sound big time. but yeah clear winner there haha
