Never bought from them so can't give you any guidance there, and admittedly, the shop has a 100% satisfaction rating, but the use of the word "Style" is worrisome. That's too good of a price for real M Performance parts despite the presence of the (likely fake) branding. (Regarding the first link).

I believe the diffuser price alone direct from BMW is $1250. Obviously, it is slightly cheaper at some places on the Internet, but not this low for new and genuine. Also, the listing states that the parts are made in Latvia, and I do not believe the OEM BMW parts are made there. The first link, at least, seems like true carbon fiber, manufactured in country, but is almost definitely not genuine BMW. Not necessarily so bad, so long as you know what you are actually getting.

Definitely not real. As said above, anytime the word Style is used, it's a way to get around trademarks/copyrights. This way they're not claiming it is an actual MP part.
