I had one on for a day or so, it kept coming off along the tabs. At the time, I didnt know that people use adhesives to get them to stay on.

If you're big on fitment, I would advise not to go the ebay route. Definitely not the same as OEM. But, if you dont mind it being a little off and a little modification to get it to fit properly then go for it.

Did you get yours from a china dealer on ebay ? Most of the ones on mod bargain and rw carbon look the same as ebay dealers

I bought mine on ebay.

Link:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-F10-M5-D...item235155c597

And here is a picture of it installed.



The fitment is very good. BUT, as this is a carbon copy of the original, you can not use the fastning clips on the same way as oem. It will be some swearing, and i used small screws to keep it tight. from start to finish i guess it took me 3-4 hours alone.

That can't be right as the eBay link u posted is for a DTM style diffuser. Your car has a Vorsteiner type diffuser with non aggressive fins.

How's the quality of the diffuser? I'd hate to order from china because I need this thing ASAP.. Did you use any adhesives for the diffuser ?

Thanks for the suggestion man. I actually found a nice carbon diffuser looks badass on that site. But do you think it will fit the non OEM m5 rear ?

I know it's the same as the non OEM m tech rear bumper but I don't want to get stuck with a diffuser that doesn't fit .
