Stacey i have not got any but i am thinking of getting some as think they look smart. I had them on the Z3 we had

 

[Antm72]

My first 2.8 didn't have them i brought them off ebay for that car , not sure if these are genuine but the exhaust has the valve fitted in one of the pipes not sure if aftermarket pipes have that ?

The valve is a part of the silencer, the tail pipe tips are separate items.

Tony.

 

[Antm72]

My early 2.8 an r reg never had the valve in the exhaust at all its a cold start thing is it not?

Thanks Tony, wasn't too sure when I bought them. Not quite the shark fin styling of the Z3 but I think they look better that the white plastic pieces.

Thanks Shelly, took me a while to find them. As the car has a red interior, they sort of tie the theme together. Not everyone's cup of tea I suppose but it's the subtle little touches that make our cars unique to us.
