Why do my exhaust pipes look shorter than other G20s?

Hiya,

This may just be me imagining this, but my G20 320d xDrive (I picked it up not long ago, it was a BMW demo car) seems to me like it has shorter exhaust pipes than what I've seen on other G20s...

Are my eyes playing tricks on me?

It looks as though the exhaust tail pipe trims are missing.

Think you guys are right, the tips look missing. I'll be in touch with the dealership on Monday to ask them! Trying to understand why they've taken them off in the first place

That would be my guess also. Somebody with regular chrome tips fancied swapping them to black, but didn't want to pay for them.

I’d be surprised that your dealer let a car go out like that. Looks like they’ve been nicked!

Maybe you have the pipes normally sent to the Israeli dealers? ��

Very odd. Really surprised no one noticed it as you drove off.

I had exactly the same issue but only on one side.
It's a quick fix, there is an adjustment on the trim which allows it to slide out.
