ive never seen anything like this before but its overdue and i think a lot of 3.0d owners would be interested!
says its for e53 and shows pic of e70. have you tried emailing seller for further info?
i might be interested myself if they prove to to fit well and look good.

There just for looks, I can't see how that will connect to the standard pipes.

Look pretty cool when you boot it and all the smoke still comes from underneath :rofl:

my x5 e53 diesel has no rear bumper and i can assure you 100% that them pipes will not fit direct and will take so much cutting welding and fabrication that you might as well just save the £126 and make one from scratch!!

Dear pimpyourownride,I'm not getting funny but I have a 2005 e53 x5 and it looks nothing like that and I am a big BMW fan now on 4th so know what one is which. I'm very tempted to buy but need a picture on a e53 and how it is fitted so a picture from underneath- troywyse11

what i got back

Dear troywyse11,We understand you complain however that it the picture that was given to us and that it the only picture that we have, we have been told that this is for the e53.- pimpyourownride

ImageSave your money and go along to your nearest Longlife centre and get them to fit you new back boxes and you can then have any tip you want got mine done for less than £300 with the oval tips similar to the 4.8is
With the standard exhaust exiting the back box on the front I cannot see how any mod can just bolt on

I think they might just be selling the tips, judging by their description. The photo is just a stock one from their supplier and probably misleading.
