Exhaust tip fell off
When I went out to the garage this week I noticed that one of my exhaust tips was missing. I haven't hit anything nor have I ever modded my exhaust system. Should I bring this up with my dealership for a warranty coverage?
If it's not covered, I'll be disappointed since I didn't do anything but I'm a new BMWCCA member. Does anyone have any leads on where I can get a replacement?

I agree. The dealer should replace it for free.

If the dealer won't replace I have a set in my garage. I can FedEx them to you for Tuesday delivery for $100 or make a reasonable offer. Here's a picture of them.

I agree, I just replaced the chrome tips on my 228i with black chrome and I had to use a block and rubber mallet to get them off. If you needed chrome I would give them to you.

Having replaced mine with 3.5" tips, I'm 99.99% certain that the OEM tips don't "fall off".
They take quite a bit of force to come off.

Dust for fingerprints and alert the authorities to catch the perpetrator. I agree that they are very secure and having had many Bimmers before, never had one fall off. Try the dealer for sure. It should be not a problem to have them replace it for you.

Smells very much like theft.

Forgot to update. Dealer took care of me back in August.

They were probably stolen. Nothing surprises me anymore, some low life's routinely steal flowers and the vase they are in from my in-laws grave site. I replaced my chrome tips with black. I would give them to you if you wanted chrome.

Random, but I'm trying to find some chrome tips to replace my stock black ones. How much?
