Yea, pipes are "a little" more inboard than M50 pipes.... but they still fit through the holes, and don't touch/burn the bumper.

I thought about cutting them off and replacing them with aftermarket pipes... but I'll lose the flapper valves if I do that.

I welded the flapper valves open full-time on the M50i.... but with the X5M exhaust, I'm now using them again. It's quite a bit louder with all 4 pipes open (Sport plus)... but for daily driving, I like having the ability to quiet it down a little.

I will say, that when in Sport+ and all 4 pipes open??? The burbles on decel and downshift and absolutely vicious. Love it.
