Is this diffuser painted in Matte Black or stock?
Got my M-Tech installed yesterday but find the stock gray color diffuser doesnt quite match my body color.

According to his sig, yes. Then again, his sig says it's a 325i, so who knows what's right.

sweet, I didn't think you were the sort either, your car is hot  Anyways I'd stick with the OEM gray finish or go all the way for the OEM CF finish.

coz i think the stock gray color doesnt give the stronger contrast showing the M-sport rear bumper line...and a little darker color like matte black will give better contrast. just like the CF diffuser which is darker color
