Who Has A Paintable Direct Replacement M5 Rear Diffuser?

Who makes a direct replacement M5 style diffuser that fits an M-Sport bumper that is the same paintable material (urethane) like the factory one?

I've seen countless carbon fiber ones out there, but I'd rather do the painted look like the factory, and no, I'm not going to paint a carbon fiber one.

You can use the OEM M5 diffuser it plug right onto the M Sport bumper.

That seems too simple......this is a BMW, nothing is simple on this car.

Thanks.

Well, Lacster should know as he has it on his car.

Any part # or cost?

It's not so simple - the openings for the exhaust are set inboard compared to a 550, so the exhaust for a non-M5 will have to be modified to work.

I knew it seemed too easy.

Your right but Its pretty easy if you are chaning to an M5 Exhaust or an M5 Upgraded Exhaust, otherwise stock mufflers will have to be modified. Just make sure you get the new extra plastic part so its all plug and play and you dont have to cut your adapter to fit the wires, A few posts on this out there.
