325/330 Style Exhaust Mod for 320d

Glasgow Rangers · 03-10-2010, 05:49 AM

After ages of should I/shouldn't I...I have finally decided to opt for the twin exhaust trim similar to the 325/330. In my opinion the single exhaust looks completely wrong on the car. I think that the twin exhaust on the left of the car looks much better.

Now I have a problem. I cannot get near ANY 6 cylinder models to check exhaust dimensions as the main BMW dealer is miles away and there are NO 6 pots around where I live. In fact I haven't seen one.

I am hoping somebody here with a 6 pot can help me. Can anybody please tell me the exact diameter for the exhaust? I want it to be as close to original as possible. Also, I noticed that the left hand pipe sits slightly further in than the right in order to flow with the lines of the rear bumper. Can anybody please tell me what the exact difference is between the left and right pipes. I know it is only millimeters but how many?

If somebody can provide me with this info I would be most obliged. Also, any shots you might have of this mod being done would be very useful.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok here are some measurements (sorry about the dirty pipes!!!)

Glasgow Rangers · 03-10-2010, 10:47 AM

Thank you so much for going to the trouble. Can I be a real pest and ask how many mms the right hand pipe should stick out from the bumper? THANKS A MILLION.

EddieL · 03-10-2010, 10:49 AM

Hi Rangers, I'm interested to see how you get on with this. Keep us posted and get some pics up.

Glasgow Rangers · 03-10-2010, 11:29 AM

Work will be completed as soon as so will post pics after. Those pics and dimensions have REALLY helped. CHEERS.

Ok I've had a look from the top flush with the bumper and it doesnt protrude past the furthest part of the bumper and only by about 2-3mm past the chamfer on the bottom of the black plastic part of your bumper :

Thank You So Much

Have searched and searched locally here but can't find tips of the standard I was looking for. I want to use stainless steel of the highest quality and as I said as OEM as possible. I know Supersprint are the best in the business so I checked their website. Came across this. Has anybody heard of this part? Endpipe kit OO80 (Weld on connection) - cod: 045616

http://www.supersprint.com/USP000bmwE907.asp

Seems to be just the ticket. Can't see a price though. I just need the tips so I don't think it will be expensive. Has anybody tried doing this?

that kit looks spot on, great find Glasgow Rangers. ive emailed www.motorsportworld.co.uk for a price. They're a supersprint supplier.

Have you found a price yet? I cant find the kit/code available on any online site. hopefully the price will be reasonable !?

Glasgow Rangers · 03-13-2010, 03:42 PM

Haven't found a price yet. Let me know what they say to you. I agree though...it looks perfect for the 320d

Dr Dave · 03-13-2010, 05:34 PM

Bear in mind those pics are of a taipipe finisher - ideally you would need to measure the diameter of the actual pipe itself and not the finisher.

SiKkBaSs · 03-13-2010, 06:08 PM

Anyone else get stones stuck in between the pipes?

shane55 · 03-13-2010, 06:27 PM

yup happens mine always little stones get inbetween!! I slid my chrome tips off the other day to clean them...first time since I got the car...and there was half a quarry up between the wall of the exhuast and the inside of the tips!!

Dr Dave · 03-14-2010, 12:51 AM

Yep plus the trapped stones rattle like a bastard!!!

Does anyone know if this would fit an e92. is the exhaust system the same on an e90 as it is for e92.

cheers

Glasgow Rangers · 03-15-2010, 06:21 AM

It will fit fine on an E92. Has anybody found a price for it yet?

Glasgow Rangers · 03-16-2010, 02:49 AM

Can't find a price for this anywhere. Anyone?

Walesy · 03-16-2010, 03:45 AM

Glasgow rangers....where you getting th work done?, I am interested in this also and will use the parts you do if it turns out ok.

Cheers!

Glasgow Rangers · 03-16-2010, 04:03 AM

Hi mate. I am based in Turkey so I would have to import the part over here. I talked with the BMW service here and they have said they will fit the part once I source it so no problem with warranty as I know the guys in the service department.

I have seen that the distributors for Supersprint in the UK are Eurocarparts and they have a shop up in Possil on Saracen St. The number is 0141 331 0332. Give them a call and see if they can help. Let me know how you get on mate.
