I am a little scared to do it myself but all the dealers are charging me more than 150$ to just install it so i guess i have to do it myself looking at the videos

Ordered mine in portimao as well, love the colour!
Anyway to replace the kidney just follow some videos on youtube, it’s just some clips...very easy to do by yourself...it will totally change the look especially with those wheels

On ebay there are many under $100 (non genuine)...probably there’s not much difference...but if you ask me I would just buy the original one, it’s not too expensive!

I’m just in the process of blacking out my Portimao M340i (owned the car for about a year now). I’ve done the frontend - grille and accents.

Was planning black badge on the rear and black exhaust tips but can’t decide whether to do them or not. Has anyone done these and if so have you got any photos? I want to see how they look on Portimao blue. Thanks!

Yes here is my M340i, i removed the xdrive badge and rebadged in black. When i replaced the exhaust tips i also did the gloss black trim and difuser. I think youll find it really completes the car if you have already done the front end.

I drove behind another g20 with black tips recently and that has turned me off from them. From a couple car lengths back it looked like the car had no tips since they blend into the diffuser. All I could see is the silver heat shield (looked like a muffler from afar) and the real exhaust pipes. Needless to say, not seeing tips (real or fake) made the rear look cheaper even though I knew exactly what to look for

Thanks this is helpful. Don’t suppose you have any pics of the black tips with the stock defuser at all do you? Before you fitted the gloss black one.

Interesting - I hadn’t thought about that but I hadn’t planned to replace the defuser. I was going to keep the stock defuser. Not wondering what that will look like with black tips and if it will look odd or not.
