E90 BMW Performance diffusor on 135i? Cheap alternative...

This part looks like it will definately fit with some adjustments and shaping....

Im going to test fit an e90 diffusor today and see what i can do...if the standard e90 diffusor can be made to fit i will order this and start the retrofit because for $300 you cant get better than oem

Has anyone tried this?

try it and let us know

alexc93 · 08-03-2011, 05:04 PM

im ordering an e90 performance diffusor, and an e92 performance (335is) diffusor and seeing which one will be easier to make fit.

Then i am going to create a mold of my custom diffuser after i have made it fit perfectly, and start selling them for pretty much the same price as the performance diffusor for the e90 - $330 depending on my R&D and how it all works out...

I'll keep you guys posted! Give me a few weeks

it would be interesting if you can offer diffuser for quad exhaust.

I'm confused. The e90 and e92 diffusers are dual outlet right? So how would you get single outlet by cutting the e90/e92 diffuser? I thought you were intending to create a quad outlet.

They make them for the 328i also...that is single outlet on the left hand side exactly as the 135i

Sorry, I'm still confused about what you're attempting to create. I guess just let us know what it is when you're done.

Everyone else understands.....

Diffusors that are currently available for the 1 series are very overpriced. $700+

The performance diffusor for the e90/e92 in frp is only $300 so my plan is to make it fit.

Okay, last try to clear this up. I'll quit bugging you if this is not what you're looking for, but thought I would try to save you the time and money. The 135i OEM diffuser can be purchased for $73.77 at the dealer. Isn't this what you're looking for? It's part number 2 on the list.

No. He said he is not doing the stock cheap ones, but using the performance ones as a mold to create cheap replicas. Are these going to be CF or alternative material?

no you seem to be confused...

I plan to convert the E90/E92 (whichever is a closer fit) performance diffusor into a diffusor for the 135i which is *bmw performance esque*

My plan is to make these frp and sprayed matte black (which will then be able to be sprayed a colour of choice) when ordered, if wanted. I am not familiar with using CF and dont want to make something which looks like a knock off CF diffusor. Which is why i plan to use FRP.

well yes...but since im a student i have a lot of free time... and i like projects as you do

So maybe ill spend $400 in parts maybe, and then another some making a mold and then i will be selling them cheaper than icarbon for the rest of the community who think icarbons is a bit overpriced for just a diffusor... even their FRP one is $600 i mean come on that isnt worth more than $350 in my opinion
