Lip and Diffuser carbon fiber

Hi, Picking up my used 2016 BMW 528 xdrive next week. I was looking for a carbon fiber lip and diffuser. Preferably non-m. Any suggestions? last resort is to upgrade the bumpers to a m.... i've gone through so many forums, ebay and amazon havn't found anything good yet.

You'll find front lips for the non-M Sport bumpers, but you'll have a harder time finding anything for the rear bumper.

Start with places like Mod Bargains (one word - forum won't let me write it). I'm not affiliated with them nor have any experience with shopping there, but you'll find what you need.

There is no diffuser for the non-m sport rear bumper. That section that looks like it's removable is not.

There actually is one. It's a Hamann cf but you'll have to cut out the existing one to make it work.

Here is a link of threads for front lips https://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=759062

As for diffusers, most people end up upgrading to a M-Sport bumper so they can have a big carbon fiber diffuser.

Non-m front splitters that look good are hard to find. If you're interested I have an extra pair of these new carbon fiber splitters for non-m front bumpers for $150 shipped. It's a good entry level way to add that carbon splitter look.

Guys know if this will fit the base model 528xi 2016
It states no when selecting the year but wasn't sure since the front bumper looks the same.

It will not work for 16 as that's the LCI model

LCI (14-16) vs Pre LCI (11-13)
