| This is a page deditcated to comparing the differences between round and square tipped SuperSrint exhausts on two different E39's. Mine is a 2000 540i6 and my friend's is a 1997 540i6. We have recieved some comments that the mounting may have been done differently, and the there should not be this much of a difference. I'm willing to accept that as possible, so as I would expect you to do anyway, take what you read here as my personal experience, and nothing more. | |||||||||
| This is a shot from the rear corners. I really do like his wheels. Now, he has different ones after he put his car on a curb while he was showing off. I like his new ones, too. | |||||||||

Of
course, we had to level his exhaust as well. This is better because it
is taken with the car on the lift. It will level more when he lets the
holders down.

| This is a side by side comparison of the two exhausts meausrements. The square is on the left, and the round is on the right. This measures the distance from the rear bumber lip to the tip of the exhaust. | |||||||||

Comparison
of lengths from end of muffler muffler to tip. Here, we see something
interesting. The difference in length between the round and square from
the bumper to the exhaust tip is greater than the length from the end
of the muffler housing to the exhaust tips. (I'm looking for a way to
include just ONE more prepositional phrase, there.) This lends credence
to the idea that the installation of the brackets may have played a part
in the length difference.

Visual
comparison of the two after installation. This is also a great picture
of the difference between titanium silver (square) and arctic silver (round).
