The Akrapovic TP-CT/68 Classic Carbon Design Tail Pipe Set delivers a timeless round carbon fiber tip appearance for the BMW M2 (G87), M3 (G80/G81), and M4 (G82/G83) lineup. Where the octagonal TP-CT/69 offers an angular, modern silhouette, the TP-CT/68 preserves the classic round exhaust outlet shape and wraps it in hand-laid motorsport-grade carbon fiber with a premium high gloss clear coat. Designed for use with the Akrapovic Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system, these carbon tips replace the standard titanium outlets for a sophisticated upgrade that keeps the G8x rear end looking purposeful without altering its familiar proportions. Prop 65 warning applies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the TP-CT/68 fit the 2023+ BMW M2 G87?Yes. This tail pipe set is confirmed fitment for the BMW M2 (G87) in Competition trim from 2023 onward when paired with a compatible Akrapovic Slip-On Line exhaust system. It does not mount onto the OEM BMW exhaust. An Akrapovic Slip-On Line system for the G8x platform is required for proper installation.
What is the difference between the TP-CT/68 and the TP-CT/69?The TP-CT/68 uses a classic round outlet design that preserves the traditional exhaust tip silhouette in carbon fiber. The TP-CT/69 uses an octagonal shape for a more angular, contemporary look. Both sets are compatible with the same BMW G8x exhaust systems (M2 G87, M3 G80/G81, M4 G82/G83) and share identical construction quality. The difference between them is purely aesthetic.
Does this tail pipe set require the Akrapovic exhaust to be installed first?Yes. These carbon tail pipe covers are designed to mount onto Akrapovic Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust systems for the G8x platform. They do not attach to the OEM BMW exhaust outlets. If you are running the factory BMW exhaust, you will need to install a compatible Akrapovic exhaust system before fitting these carbon tip covers.
Does this fit the BMW M4 CSL and M3 CS?Yes. This tail pipe set is confirmed fitment for the 2023 BMW M4 CSL (G82) and the 2023-2025 BMW M3 CS (G80). Both special edition models share the same exhaust outlet and tip interface as the standard M3 Competition and M4 Competition, making these carbon covers a compatible direct upgrade.
Does the TP-CT/68 fit the M4 Convertible G83?Yes. Confirmed fitment for the 2021-2026 BMW M4 Convertible (G83) in Competition xDrive trim. The M4 Convertible shares the same exhaust system interface as the M4 Coupe (G82), making these carbon covers compatible across both body styles.
Is this product road legal?These carbon tip covers are cosmetic accessories that do not alter the emissions or acoustic output of the exhaust system. Their road legality is determined by the Akrapovic exhaust system they are installed on, which may or may not carry type approval depending on the specific configuration.
What is the difference between the classic round design and the OEM BMW tips?The OEM BMW M exhaust outlets are typically finished in brushed or polished titanium with a circular profile. These carbon covers replace that look with a high gloss carbon fiber weave surface that provides a deeper visual quality and a motorsport-derived material finish. The round shape maintains the classic proportions of the G8x rear end while adding premium carbon detailing.
Does installation require any modifications to the bumper or exhaust?No. These tail pipe covers bolt directly onto compatible Akrapovic exhaust systems using the included hardware. No cutting, drilling, welding, or permanent modification to the bumper or exhaust system is required. All fasteners are included in the set.
What maintenance does the high gloss carbon finish require?Hand wash with a pH-neutral shampoo and protect the gloss with a carnauba or ceramic spray wax periodically. Avoid high-pressure washing aimed directly at the carbon surface and keep solvent-based cleaners away from the finish. The tail pipe covers are exposed to heat and road debris, so periodic inspection for stone chips or loosened fasteners is recommended after spirited or track driving.
Installation Instructions
- Confirm a compatible Akrapovic Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system is installed on the BMW G8x vehicle before proceeding.
- Allow the exhaust to cool fully before handling any tip covers or hardware.
- Locate the tail pipe mounting interface on the Akrapovic muffler body at each exhaust outlet.
- Position the first carbon round tip cover onto the outlet, aligning the mounting tabs with the receiver point on the muffler.
- Insert the provided fasteners by hand and verify the cover sits flush and square before applying torque.
- Torque all fasteners to the specification in the Akrapovic instruction sheet included with the set.
- Repeat for all remaining tip covers, working symmetrically across both sides.
- Start the vehicle and inspect all covers for alignment and security after reaching normal operating temperature.
