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.

It definitely goes with the whole aesthetic of this car. M Performance everything. A bit pricey but will fit any F90

Are those the rear carbon fender arches that I see in on your car? How do you like them? Do you think you can add a thread with more detailed pictures of them? Sorry if that has already been done. I have been eyeing those...

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.

I love it how they take a photo of an OEM part and claim that it’s their knock off carbon part. Like this is the problem with the aftermarket and especially carbon. You expect to see something visually and think it looks great and the fitment is perfect but you order this product and find out it’s not close to the same identical part. False advertising and stealing my photos.

And added their watermark to add insult to injury!

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

Nothing will fit better than this OEM CS diffuser because it cost around $3000 (not my wallet) lol
