it's a hit or miss when it comes to carbon fiber components. i'm across the boards on the various platforms of BMW and even the higher end companies have fitment issues. keep in mind these higher end components can run into the $1k+ easily for a diffuser. if you search there's numerous post including mine going with aftermarket components from Ebay, RW****, ect...for replica versions at half the cost.

for example the Authentic 3d Design front lip $1200
my replica version from Ebay $349


Authentic 3d Design trunk spoiler $1249
replica version $199


Authentic 3d Design roof spoiler $805
replica version $109


Authetic diffusers can run anywhere from $1995+
replica DTM $250



3D Design Carbon Fiber Side Skirts $2,375.00
replica version $350



so as you can see if you want quality parts you gotta pay a fortune! or like myself and others shop around for aftermarket carbon fiber components on Ebay or other companies who make carbon components. it's really on you and what you think is worth spending $$$$ on which i think is just pure aesthetics.

Luckily son you got there. It all depends on what you want to spend. You can go from ebay all the way to Vorsteiner.

Be sure to sure out the Owner' s Marketplace for people that are selling their parts: http://f10.5post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=315

I went back to a link I provided in a post I made on these and the link is broken or unfound. I forgot who the seller was since if you go to Ebay there's so many sellers with the same design. it's basically the 3d style. here's a link

https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-F10-528...kAAOSwKytZHY-V

These are aftermarket. I spent a good time researching and posting questions to confirm fitment and I got a lot of yes and no answers. So i said ef it and it was a pretty damn good fitment. Here's my post on them

Here's when I received the 3d skirt extensions

Here's when I got the MSPORT skirts

https://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1403605
Here's a post with both MSPORT skirts and the 3d style carbon fiber skirt extensions mocked up
