Any chance you can post some more pics outside with the diffuser? Maybe some different angles? You might be one of the only non-CS M5s around with this diffuser!

Just look at pics of an actual CS. It's the same back end.

This is not my personal vehicle but I did install them. Personally I did not like them. Owner purchase them from IND. Out of the box, the carbon was not ideal in my opinion, especially on one of them, very wavy and just rippled. And the portion of the carbon that actually rests against the painted surface was again, in my opinion, unsatisfactory. It was not even and flat, it was wavy and didn’t let the trim rest fully on the paint. If it were my car I wouldn’t install them. At least this specific pair, I can’t say they’re all like this but both of the ones I had were pretty poor in terms of the benefit of carbon on it. I would rather just put the OEM plastic ones on as I know they will be a perfect fit.

I did not know there were OEM plastic ones. Thank you for your honesty. I would much rather prefer the OEM ones. Not just a gimic plastic piece? Will keep some road debris from hitting body/paint? |

The OEM ones for other countries are made of plastic. That is what these are based on. And I’m not really sure it will help anything for paint. These are only for the rear. So realistically your paint shouldn’t be getting damaged from the rear tires kicking anything up. It’s generally the front tires kicking into the rear quarters. I have little flares on the rear of my X3 M40i, much smaller than these but kind of similar. I did it for the look. Just a subtle touch.

And, yeah, I’m sure it’s other sellers that will cause fitment problems. 🙄
