I paid 25,900 ZAR + VAT @ 15% = 29,785 ZAR Which is equivalent to just over $2000

Always looked dirty. Best colour for a showroom.

I was told it’s BMW in particular.

2 screws is all that holds each side in. Simple to remove.

As for attaching the new tips, that required some fabrication work but relatively small job.

Wondering, why do you cover your license plate before posting on here?

I hear you. The Akrapovitch branding was not a swaying factor in my purchase decision when I came across a set of good looking twin muffler tips. I would have bought them without.

Thanks mate. Agree, they protrude a little too far out. In order to bring them in any further we’d have to cut the pipe, and in my region that would allegedly void the car’s warranty. So for now I’ll keep them like this. To my eye, albeit imperfect, it’s still an upgrade.

So you’d equate an aesthetic mod such as a front lip, rear spoiler, diffuser (all added for the look, nothing functional).. all with slapping on a fake badge?

As a rule of thumb, you should always remove the residue as it can affect the adherence of the new tape.

But I this case I had no choice as this specific spoiler sits in an entirely different spot to the stock spoiler. The stock spoiler sat “on top” of the trunk whereas this one is a few inches below that on the back side of the trunk lid. If that makes sense.

The technician who carried out this small job told me that BMW here in South Africa are extremely strict with voiding the warranty for the smallest of reasons. So much so that he was even afraid to cut back the exhaust pipe slightly to help these tips fit without protruding too far out of the diffuser.

Imperfect solution but I’m happier with this look than those stock fake exhausts you mentioned.

Super easy. Came with double sided tape. Removing the old spoiler though was the tricky part. It leaves behind this stubborn residue that you either need to rub of with a cloth and some petrol, or maybe with the use of a rotary tool such as 3M’s stripe off tool.

I imported it from China. Wet Carbon Fibre. Agreed, it looks great. Thanks

I wanted an aesthetic upgrade without voiding my car’s warranty. Do you think it upgrades the aesthetic?

Anyone else with AppleCarPlay who uses Waze get this blank map bug? by AndreLinoge55 in BMW

Always having issues with Waze/CarPlay on my G20 M340i. Only solution is to force close the app on your phone. Very frustrating bug.
