Exhaust pipe cover frustration!

Does anyone have a lead on a solution for blacking out the chrome exhaust pipe tips on my 40i xDrive? I keep finding black (stick on) covers, but they're all for M-trim.

The solution is to buy black exhaust tips.

Thanks for the contribution, ipilcher. I have searched high and low and cannot find exhaust tips for xLine trim. Now, that's if you're referring to the stick-on covers.

If no one makes black tips, you can have your OEM tips powder coated.

Just rattle can them matte black. All the black chrome ones end up peeling eventually anyway.

I used OE black tips on my wife's E90 but never really found an equivalent for my M-sport E82. I just slid off the old ones, used some Krylon semi-flat-black in a spray can and they've been perfect for a couple of years. Matches the rear valance on the M-sport very well.
