The factory JCW exhaust is listed at $401.83: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...03&hg=18&fg=20
That's barely more than the stock exhaust at $393.94: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...03&hg=18&fg=20
There are no tips available for the factory JCW exhaust. The pipes simply end. The pipes have larger diameter and the add-on tips don't fit. There is also no JCW engraving.
No. Those are from the Stage 1 kit: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...52&hg=11&fg=95

That's funny... in order to pull it up, I put in my own vin# which is a factory JCW. When I clicked on the exhaust, it showed tips were available. (I'm using my bodyshop estimating program)
Well, I've had my factory JCW exhaust off so long, I couldn't remember but I thought they were welded.
Hmmmmm, sorry for the wrong info.

Stage 1 kit exhaust
http://www.minigenuineparts.co.uk/mi...0_428_975.html (UK £ 511.60 currently converts to US $803)
With accessory tips:
JCW factory exhaust
http://www.minisport2.com/mini-parts...7_587_363.html (UK £ 248.85 currently converts to US $391)
The Stage 1 kit exhaust is louder than the JCW factory exhaust, but there are some complaints about highway drone. Some have swapped theirs to the factory version.

Hmmmm, Tips,,,,, so for about 4 bucks, you can hit the liquor store and pick up a couple 24oz Silver Bullets. After knocking them back, trim off the ends and mount them to the muffler. Large diameter, looks cool and can be changed out with different colors for either the seasons or car color or you favorite NASCAR team! .... Just an idea

I'm considering adding a DP to the factory JCW exhaust in a couple of months.

Not at all...Think of the stock exhaust + 50% - just louder and deeper. Yours sounds great but for DD, it could get a bit much for me.
My weekend car makes all the right sounds though!

those tips are part of the muffler. which leads you to the next logical option. spend the 275 dollars and buy the muffler then have an exahust shop cut you a straight pipe to delte the rez and secondary muffler (if you want more loud). much cheaper option same results
hope this helps

there are two jcw mufflers. the factory jcw muffler which has the tips welded to it, and the jcw tuning kit muffler which has the tips as a separate item. the msrp from a dealer for the tips is 99.50. here is the part number 18100433063. sorry if im a bit late on the subject
