Polishing E39 M5 Exhaust Tips
It doesn’t take long in crappy weather or the winter time for your exhaust tips on the E39 M5 to start lookin’ ugly. Recently I took it upon myself to clean them up and get them back to looking new.
Below is a picture of them before and after – and the full project is outlined as a recent update inside the M5 Video Guide private members area. Anyway – with some fairly inexpensive products, a drill and a little elbow grease, I was able to remove the carbon build up on the inside of the pipe tips and the polish the exterior to an almost new like lustre.
They look awesome!!!
If you’re looking for a full e39 m5 review – may I humbly plug my M5 Video Guide?
It provides a complete overview of the car affectionately known as the “beast” – but ON video.
Anyway, back to this little project – because the build quality of the E39 m5 is nothing short of fantastic – BMW ///M used full stainless steel tips on the exhaust resonators – which makes them look really exotic and rich. Unlike the e60 m5 and most of all other BMW cars which have a chrome plated sleeve on the exterior – the exhaust pipes on the e39 m5 are all stainless out the back of the beast!
Here’s a before and after pic of the project, which took me about 20 minutes to do both sides:
