F86 X6M Black or Carbon Fiber Exhaust Tips

Hey guys, am desperately looking to do something about blacking out these chrome tips on my 2016 X6M. Am buying a package from IND that will black out everything, and I'm also powder coating my rims. So these chrome tips will stick out like a sore thumb. My first preference would be to take them off and install carbon fiber tips. Second preference would be to powder coat them a matte black. Both options would require that I take off the stock chrome tips obviously.

Has anyone figured out a way to do this without cutting and welding?

Thanks all!

Not sure about the F86, but the E71 are just press fit on. You can pull them off.

Thanks Denaliman. Unfortunately it seems to be the consensus that the F86 exhaust tips are welded on. Bummer. So I'm open to having a muffler shop cut them off from the inlet pipe, but before I take the plunge I need to figure out which aftermarket tips can fit the stock inlet pipe. Can someone tell me the size of the stock inlet pipe (leading to the exhaust tips)? Thanks!

Hey all, need your help. Does anyone have a stock F85/F86 X5M/X6M stock exhaust tip that they're willing to sell? Without boring you with the details, I took the plunge and cut off the tips, powdercoated them, and re-installed. One of the tips was damaged in the process.... If yes, please let me know how much you would want. Thanks a lot guys!

ESC Tuning sells black tips, they might work for you.
