I wonder if there’s a way to leave it there and paint as is without removing the tips. I saw that people have done it on old X5s after masking the entire area and exposing just the tips. I’ll look into that when I can.
Edit - I watched videos of people doing it on M3s that also have that pin protruding from the exhaust holding it in place. But I don’t see the V clamps. They basically used a rubber mallet to whack it out. I wonder if I can do that on the G20 too or if the V pins lock the tip in place.
I hate BMW for making things more difficult than it should be.  |
I thought about keeping them on too when I couldn't get them off this is the video I was going to follow. I don't recommend it but I was able to get one of them off by just pulling really really hard. Some people use WD40 but I was too scared to use that because its flammable.
