No clue why they hid the exhausts on the ICE models. 760i shows that BMW is capable of putting visible exhausts on the ICE variants of a shared platform.

In the next few months, these and other parts for the G60 will flood the market.
I'm glad I can't see anything at the back of my car.

I was following a Dodge Ram pick-up a couple of weeks ago. The exhaust tip was ridiculously BIG. (see pic below) At the red light, I pulled up next to the driver and asked him about it. He said the diameter was 10 inches.(!!!) I'm so glad BMW is hiding the exhaust tips on most of their current ICE cars. Apparently they are made by a company called TSO.

no exhaust tips is what is keeping me from buying the new 5 series. i hope BMW gets their head straight and include them in 2025.

He did it for the girl. She wanted 10" and he bought it for her.

that exhaust tip was so big, my old chunky cat(RIP) could have easily used it as a cat condo.

You'll probably have to wait a little longer.

I honestly didn’t even notice that the tailpipes are hidden until after I received my 540ix.

I’m not typically a mods guy - but this is something I’d be willing to have done to my car.

I’m hesitant since I don’t normally mod anything. Is this something that eventually we’d be able to get a kit and do ourselves or does it need to be done at a professional shop?

It’s such a head scratcher that we don’t have visible tailpipes especially since the matte covers on the otherwise piano black look like they’re meant to be removed lol

Wait a little longer for it to be common for shops to make this mod? Or wait a little longer to be able to buy DIY kits?

Sorry for dumb question - I’ve never modified a car before, but very interested in doing this to up my 540ix’s look

Me too! I keep looking for the kit. I would hope that M Performance would come out with one. But I'd be just as happy with a Borla kit. Not sure id they would have to change the Muffler and the tips, or if they could offer a bolt on kit that would replace the existing turned down tips with straight ones and just remove the inserts from the diffuser.

I agree they look like they could be removed, or at least cut out. I have not looked underneath to check.
