I agree and that’s a difficult call because of cost. Our shipping from Australia in or out is overpriced.
I found a good manufacturer for these on Ali Express and got 8 of them
With freight they worked out to around $74 AUD each, then they were modified and ceramic coated to the end cost is around $100 AUD each
By the time you at freight and a mark up to cover costs they would be just too expensive for most.

I ran M3 world for 10 years before selling that part of my business. It was originally born out of need for members of M3 post and exhaust systems and although everything was done at near cost for members the cost of manufacture and freight has really jumped, especially from this part of the world
I got a second set as an M2 might be an overwhelming temptation one of these days

would really appreciate pictures; and if you dont mind, if you can take pics of how far the tips can be pulled in (recessed-in) 😅

I may actually go for this if I can get this tip to be recessed into the bumper enough

I'm going to try these Eurostyle tips and the inlet pipe is 63.5mm so looks good to fit

I don't think it will work if it's a 63.5mm diameter because the exhaust pipe is oval, not round.

When you get your car give me a shout I'm fairly local to you, be good to go for a drive out to Wales or something

I'm being presumptuous based on the username 😉

It was snug, but nothing outrageous. Once I had them started I grabbed the ends with both hands and wiggled, pushed & twisted until they were set back and angled to my preference.

Maybe give it a squirt of WD40 or silicone, even a finger tip of oil around the inner edges.

Small note but there’s a thin black rubber license plate frame you can get that hides the white border on those black TX plates. It’s subtle but looks a lot more refined

Ordered the glossy black tips, MST send me them welded wrong , and ended up getting the powder black instead. I really like the look though!

Let me know if the glossy black tips chip at all. MST recommended I switched to powder black as there were reviews that the glossy black had issues with erosion
