Gave the car a wash this morning and the sun was shining so there was only one option, put the top down and have a tazz round the Peak District.

Deep sea Blue is a lovely colour for an E89 when clean and the sun's out.
Your exhaust tips are still filthy, though!

Yep, the tail pipe trims are past it really. I've been thinking about replacing the trims since I bought it, but still haven't got round to it.

Mam Tor and Bretton - lovely Ken.
Was out that way myself this afternoon - golfing at Sickleholme.
Only the twin pipes knock on and off (with internal sprung steel). The dual pipes on the N54s are welded on!
I removed the pair on our first E89 and ground them back to bare steel on the bench. Then gave them a few coats of 'chrome spray' from a rattle can. It isn't like chrome but nor is the OEM finish (more like a shinyish silver). Worked well.
I hate dirty exhaust tips on cars!

The old ones did give a fight to stay on and the amount of crap that came with them was amazing, looked like tarmac
