I'm sorry that the 3.5 tips didn't fit.... but that is useful infornation for everyone.

I have been researching as well, and I "think" the OEM tips from the E85 BMW may be the correct match (not the 3.0 version with oval tips, but the smaller engine version).

Hopefully between the 2 of us, we can come up with a solution that works. I unfortunately, am still waiting in my car though... lol.

Post pics when you get that 1st set.... I think they might be perfect! Do you have the amazon link for that 1st set?? (2.5 x 3 x 6.... with the 1 adjustment bolt)
The 2.5x3.5 Deff wouldn’t work eitherway becuase the 3 clamps didn’t fit inside the opening and no way of tightening them.
I’m hoping the 2.5x3 works, it’ll be here tomorrow and I’ll test fit.

Here is the link
