Shadowline Exhaust Finishers from Schmiedmann

Thought it be a good idea to share my recent purchase experience.

Didn't want anyone to pay IND prices of $470 and think it's any different.

Same product!

I bought mine from IND when they were $260-270 so I guess I got lucky. I believe other BMW parts places are selling them for the original price, some are selling at the new higher price too

Enjoy.
Thanks Buddy, they look great. Are you installing them yourself? Send some pics whenever you install them please. I am going to order them soon. They look great.

Why don't you guys get it powder coated or do simple DIY since it is just an attachment to the bumper.
It beats paying $260 or more.

When I get my G05, I will paint it myself like what I always do on my G30 and F15. Some of my F15 customers even asked me to paint it when they buy the M Sport tips.

I believe you need proper hear rated paint since you know the exact area gets hot. I'd be curious to see how regular paint holds up

I always use VHT spray paint.
And that was with a tip that is attached to the muffler directly, not a tip that is attached to the bumper.

Too bad haven't make my move to G05, otherwise I'll make the DIY.

That's why I asked for local guys to let me borrow the car for a project.
I guess no one is up for it.

If I was local I'd gladly come by but Texas isn't exactly next door to Cali.

Thanks guys. Ordered them today from Schmiedmann.com. All in including shipping, tax , etc was $280 USD. I hope these guys come out with the grill.

My dealership in Canada wanted $360 x 2 = $720 plus tax. They also wanted $420 plus tax to install them.

No and I doubt that I will in the future. I heard it's a pain.

I have a pair of chrome ones for sale.

Finally had mine installed today along with spacers, 12mm front, 15mm rear.
Should be easy for any good body shop to install.

Good work. You did it! Looks great Bizfriend. Give a pic with the spacers.

Schneider is now $400 USD. Anyone know of places that are at the original price of 260?

WT335i reached out to Schneider and they indicated a price increase from BMW outside of their control. I'm giving him my Chrome tips and he will look at either painting them or maybe wrapping.

You should ask Parkview what it would cost with TrueNorth discount.

Just so you know I had to pay about $70 CAD for duty on the Schneider tips.

Per IND, BMW raised their prices on the parts so they probably sold the initial stock at the cheaper price before going up
