Does the M5 diffuser bolt right up to a 550i sport

m3racing · 01-17-2016, 05:35 PM

Question if I buy a brand new OEM M5 diffuser will it bolt right up my M-sport rear bumper? THANKS; I bought a new carbon fiber one off ebay and it does not fit..close

I thought the M5 and M Sport bumpers were slightly different, I fitted a front splitter to my F11 535D M Sport last week and it was a direct fitment.

It was advertised as a M-Tech M Sport Front Bumper Lip

Although mine was solid plastic and not fiberglass it was a good quality splitter

They're talking about diffusers not splitters

Thank you...Now where can I buy one cheap ?

They forgot to mention that you'll either need to buy the M5 absorber or cut up your current one

So it isn't necessarily a bolt on

Interesting so basically another expense.....lol where/when does then madness end.

LOL! it never does why do u think my to-do list gets longer...lurking these forums and all these guys coming up with different things you can do to your car

^^^^ So true this is why I try to void reading all the threads...to many good ideas....some over the top, unless you are racing a 4400 LBS car...my 550i is more than fast enough, but if I had a 535..I would do something in the sound department..I think the 535's sound better than a 550i with a tuned exhaust...maybe its just me

If I remember some company makes Replica M5 diffusers in carbon fiber for M performance bumpers, I don't remember who though so I wouldn't mind knowing either
