Yes, check out the pictures at the bottom of the first page. This mod is completely cosmetic, but it makes the car look way more aggressive. (Keep in mind I have a non M-sport rear bumper)

Guys:
if you want to switch to quad tips using the 550 diffuser you'll need to get "y" style tips rather than the ones posted by twelve535i because the cut-out on the 550 diffuser is exactly center of out port of the muffler. With the tips that have the second branching off of the side you will be off-centre. My bad. I see you are talking about the m5 diffuser not the 550. Sorry.

You will have a hard time finding something the right length, that is the biggest challenge with this mod. With tips that are offset from the center, a muffler shop can cut the inlet down pretty close to the "split", but with this configuration it won't buy you much space. Think you would be better off going to a muffler shop, having them put your car on the lift, explain to them what you want to do and have them fabricate something. Most shops can make something to work, issue is what will it cost you?????

A carbon fiber diffuser will probably cost me slightly more than having crooked custom piping made...... |

Looks and sounds good, darge82!
I went for this cheap PP diffuser on ebay and the damn thing won't even fit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151247931482 Anyone else ever put one of these on an m sport bumper? |

No, I didn't. Basically, I ended up doing exactly what Shawn did here. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=700328
This requires getting the 550i diffuser. Last edited by sickwithit; 10-23-2014 at 04:01 AM.. |

Sorry to hear it was a wasted exercise with the the PP finned diffuser. They still sell it as well, so it definitely should be a buyer beware! |

Yeah, funny thing is they insisted it should fit even after I told them. To be perfectly honest, I didn't try to cut off parts of the diffuser to get it to fit or anything. I just sent it right back because I bought it with the understanding that it was made for this car. To their credit, they refunded me for the whole thing even though I ended up being out some $80 on the return shipping to HK.
