I have seen a few threads about installing exhaust tips that fit inside the trapezoid openings in the 50i models but has anyone done this same type of thing with the 40i?

Not sure how to post pictures but here is one of the threads for the 50i models

https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1732018&page=4

The 40i models have a single exit pipe vs the dual on the 50i and it looks like the 40i single tip is actually oval at the tip and not round. I haven’t found any slip on or clamp on tips that have an oval inlet to fit that oval pipe. I am guessing one would have to cut off the oval part but I wasn’t sure that would leave enough straight round pipe left for the tip to grab into. I hate how you can see the stock tip inside the trapezoid bumper opening so easily stock, sticks out like a sore thumb.

Any other 40i owners find a way to fit a tip?

Bump...

Been looking for the same thing with no luck. I know they sell a cheesy cover that makes it looks like you have dual tips, but like I said, "cheesy" you can see right through the cover and see the single exhaust tip.

I just went for thicker ones on my 50d, I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but might give you some ideas.

Did you have to cut your stock tips? Link to the ones you purchased?

Any new ideas?

I have a 2022 40i X5 M Sport package and the only tips that I am seeing require me to remove the entire black/grey trapezoid opening to accommodate the new tips (see photo). And I am not going crazy on the size, just 3.5" double pipes on each side.

I really want to save the trim piece as I think the hole gets too large without it.

Help!!!!

Old thread but this might be useful for someone that still is looking to install some dual exhaust tips on their 40i.

I've installed these on my 2025 LCI 40i M Sport. They were literally plug and play, no cutting, no soldering, no removing any piece from the rear bumper was necessary.

Sure, here it is:

Quad Exhaust Tip Compatible For BMW G05 X5 G06 X6 G07 X7 2019+ 30i 40i Muffler Tip Exhaust Tip Nozzle(Black B) https://a.co/d/cg2eni9

And sorry, but I didn’t install them myself, a shop did the job and it took them like 20 minutes to do so.

That looks really sharp-I love the dual exhaust without the pain of having to remove bumper, etc.
