Empire Motorsports Experience

Alright I'm sure a lot of you are wondering about how the quality is when it comes to these STYLE kits and mods. TBH, I was expecting to "get what you pay for" only to be surprised by how damn close to the authentic parts actually are.

I purchased a vorsteiner style rear diffuser and believe me when I say, I gave them a hard time with questions about fitment and blah blah blah. Requested pictures, down right condescending type talk to make sure I wasn't being scammed and that the product better be as described.

Upon purchase, they processed and shipped following day and I received package within 4 business days. This is from west canada all the way to the east coast in the states. Friendly staff and always calling me "sir", yet very courteous and respectful. Hands down, AWESOME experience. Do not hesitate to inquire at all.

I have a buddy with an authentic vorsteiner diffuser and we couldn't tell the difference. Fitment was also 100% which I was for sure was going to be 95% or so. Now I'm sure not everyone will receive similar treatment or product exactness, but I'm confident they aren't trying to fool anyone and are making an honest living. So yeah, thought I shed some light and I'm not embarassed like most to leave a review or comment about my replica buy. Bang for your buck I think. Thanks Empire Motorsports! Great job btw!

pics please.

I am so on the fence with the stock M5 diffuser and their DTM diffuser. But if the Vorsteiner looks nice, I will bite.

Go with either the DTM or Vorsteiner, M5 diffusers are kind of common, and I've always liked how aggressive the fins look on the other two.

Glad to hear your satisfaction. I remember when they first registered and asked how to become a vendor, I helped them out with it.

I just wish they made a lip/diffuser for the F07 no one makes anything, and custom jobs are really $$$

DTM is much more aggressive and nicer looking. I don't have pics yet so hopefully soon guys. Just know that empire is legit and they can take pics of the exact one they will send to you if you request.

Don't be on the fence, just do it! Trust me I can vouch for them.

Oh, the vorsteiner STYLE looks exactly like the vorsteiner originals. I mean EXACTLY the same lol. My friend is beating himself up for having paid so much.

I see you have 535i. Dude, make sure you are thinking of diff cans because the stocks wont fit with the M5 or DTM bro. I think supersprints work, not sure. M5 stock cans will work for sure with tiny bit tweak.

Hey Ben

I'm doing good. Yes the car is up for sale, it's time for a new project. And unfortunately, the F07 community is so dead I barely had any interest for the kit. However, I will do my best to get an M-Sport on the next car. Maybe you guys could custom fit your Vorsteiner Lip and diffuser (or DTM diffuser) to an F07 M-Sport?

Btw, fitment looks great, I see a very minor gap between the fog grilles and the lip, but I bet it's not even noticeable, especially on dark cars. Keep up the great work guys.

It's a great car, that's why I'll be getting another 550 GT, rarely do I ever get the same model twice. As much as I love the F10, the F07 GT's got it beat on rear legroom (as much as a 750i) and headroom (as much as an X5), and also uniqueness.

I've seen many F10's on the road, and seldom do I ever see an F07. Plus, I'll be the first to admit it does look ugly in light colors and small rims, but when you drop it and put anything 20"s or above, it looks really mean and sleek, especially with the coupè style roofline. Plus, many have no idea what I am driving. I remember I saw two guys walk past the GT and say, "Is that the new 7 Series?" HAHA

Bit of inconsistencies throughout fitment in correspondence to the front lip. Other than that, CF quality looks pretty good.

You produce these or just distribute?

That's really awesome of ClassM to promote and foster empire motorsports with a thorough review of his experience also; helps saturate the confidence that is lacking for buyers w/ anxiety pre-purchasing.

We buy the original parts and send them to our manufacturing facility to get an exact mold.

Let me know if you'll need any parts I can probably get you a deal=)

Thumbs up A very good experience

I ordered one of their trunk spoilers and it became damaged at some point during shipping. I emailed Empiremotorsports and received a reply within minutes asking for more information. Long story short, Empiremotorsports expedited another spoiler to me and I received it within several business days. It arrived safe and sound and will be going on my car this weekend

This was my first and only experience with Empiremotorsports and was impressed with their prompt resolution to my problem and have been a pleasure to do business with...even if they are on the other side of the border, eh?

Combat-Your wheels look sick. I am looking for someone to powder coats mine in NYC.
I also hate the chrome side marker-curious to see how yours look painted?
Also did you get the Vorsteiner diffuser from Empire and if so did you install yet?
Would love to see pics
