My Rieger Rear

Cozy · 04-18-2013, 04:14 PM

Hi all.

I thought I'd post up one of the many new purchases I've made for my e82; my Rieger diffuser. It hasn't had much publicity yet but it's another diffuser option for us.

This is fresh on the market and comes in a few options. Flat black, gloss black or carbon look, with or without mesh. You can also choose quad or OE tailpipe configuration. I chose flat black because my car is BSM so I figured gloss black wouldn't have looked right, it would have blended too much. I also chose to avoid carbon look as it was too light in colour; I believe the carbon look is achieved by a hydro dip. The flat black is somewhere between to two although I'd perhaps like it a shade or two lighter. I'm considering two options which are to mix up my own Plastidip colour and spray it or get a shop to paint it permanently Sparkling Graphite. What do you think?

I'll add some more pics soon, as soon as the sun shows up again and preferably after all my parts are on the car; I have a huge parts bin waiting to go on the car on a day when I can lay in the floor without getting a soaking wet back. Enjoy for now.

Looks good. What price range will this be around?

Cozy · 04-18-2013, 04:30 PM

I think it retails around $350.

Stohlen · 04-18-2013, 04:47 PM

Where'd you purchase it from?

SGM <3 · 04-18-2013, 05:40 PM

Looks great.

If you are curious about the piece, look through this thread; http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=824578.

Reiger themselves will not ship to the US, but we have contacted a lot of their US retailers and most have come back and said they can get it in and ship it to you for ~$400-$450. Which is not as cheap as say the eBay diffuser, however the quality and fit of this one is far beyond those.

SHeap · 04-18-2013, 07:28 PM

Looks good mate, this time next month get to see it for real along with all the other mods you've been keeping secret :P

ShocknAwe · 04-18-2013, 07:57 PM

It looks killer! Looking forward to some US retailers to carry this and not try to make so much money off each one. Looks to be $415-450 in the US unless you get it from a friend in GER.

mitch55 · 04-18-2013, 11:02 PM

that looks really good!

I purchased it from a business here who has links with Rieger. Rieger won't ship international which is a shame so a dealer is always going to take a cut. I battled hard with them both, struck a deal and here it is. Go for a US retailer approved by Rieger, will be much easier.

Haha yes, many parts should be on by then. It'll look and go a bit different to the last meet.

I'd be happy to ship for you guys but it comes in at $300 shipped to me so if I include then shipping it out to you, there's your $400.

bluecat · 04-19-2013, 02:05 PM

I got a quote of $358 shipped from one of the vendors they have listed on their site.

For $358 I'd buy it. Group buy maybe.

smellyborrelli · 04-19-2013, 03:06 PM

A US vendor should really look into bulk buying these.. they will sell

infinitekidM2C · 04-19-2013, 05:58 PM

nice ass no homo...

cant make up my mind whether to buy a diffuser...already dumped enough cash but for that price it makes it all the more difficult not to buy

do it! i think its looks bomb and for about 400$ hell yah!

RiefferD · 04-19-2013, 09:45 PM

looks good....looks solidly made

cakeater · 04-19-2013, 10:29 PM

So glad this was brought to up. I do not want to go overkill with the carbon fiber pieces so this is perfect. Added to my mods list for sure

Cozy · 04-20-2013, 03:26 AM

Thanks for the feedback guys!

What do you think about the respray? I'm seriously tempted to get it fine in Sparkling Graphite, nice and glossy.

Cakeater, totally agree. I've got a BMWP spoiler to go on but even I'm considering body colouring it, spraying it the same colour as the diffuser if I spray that or just plastidipping both a dark grey and glossifying.

looks good, paint them BSM.

1ToBeOn2Wheels · 04-20-2013, 10:05 AM

Best looking diffuser by far, and not a bad price. I think this is the one for me. Count me in for a group buy!

How is the fitment? Any issues with install?

Zombie1 · 04-20-2013, 02:22 PM

I'd be in for a group buy who's going to set this up?

New21er · 04-20-2013, 03:08 PM

Count me in for GB.
