BMW Performance Carbon Diffusor installed.

Pol · 07-08-2010, 10:25 AM

After some doubts, I finaly chose for the original Performance part.
And I'm happy with it. Qualitative the CF piece is perfect and super light weight. Thanks to our German friends on the 1er forum I got a very interesting price (1110€). Compared with our dealerprice here, a difference of about 350€. A good deal as for me. Pics will follow as usual.

I would really like to see some comparison pics, side by side, of the icarbon part vs the bmw perf part.

Particularly, I'd like to see some pics of the rear undercarriage to see what it looks like installed.

I'm leaning more toward the official bmw part, but I'm willing to give icarbon a good looksee.

BMW Performance Diffusor : 4 bolts + clips such as the BMW Oem original part.
iCarbon : 2 bolts + clips

iCARBON DESIGN · 07-08-2010, 05:08 PM

Just to clear it up, 5 bolts on our diffusers

Looks great!!! Super clean, keep up the great work!

onefastman · 07-08-2010, 06:47 PM

onefastman · 07-09-2010, 12:20 PM

Mine did too but mine was one of the first off the line.

vwown3d · 07-10-2010, 09:44 AM

looks great!!! What exhaust is that if you don't mine me asking??

Pol · 07-11-2010, 11:55 AM

BMW Performance exhaust.

Blistex · 07-11-2010, 12:24 PM

so, the only different between icarbon and BMW Perf. is the middle fins?

onefastman · 07-11-2010, 01:35 PM

Yes but there is one other small difference.

PRICE!

That's right for you guys there on the other side of the ocean.
With shippingcost to Belgium, same price as the BMW diffusor imported from Germany. Price in Belgium 325€ more expensive.

I concluded that the 135i original rear bumpercovering has 5 bolts. Now I doubt on the number on the BMW Performance diffusor.
