Best carbon supplier
Just bought a 1M the other day and keen to upgrade the exterior with some carbon parts:
Fron splitter Trunk wing Diffuser Mirrors There us a bunch of different suppliers for Carbon and I have read several different topics in here with various opinions. However, I was wondering which carbon supplier you guys think makes the best quality and good looking parts. Supplier I been looking at are: BMW performance (mirrors) Revozport (all parts, but the diffuser in particular) Vorsteiner Kerscher First I was going to order all parts from Revozport, but then I read some bad feeback (and some positive) about them here in the forum. Since all parts are made in China I though I look around what the other suppliers have to offer. Anyways, before I make up my mind it would be great to know your guys opinion. Thanks. |

you could also consider alpha-n if you think revozport diffuser is too ricey. Prices are higher, but most people have said fit& finish is spot on. Exception being Ian with his shocking diffuser. Don't know if they ever got to the bottom of that one.. Last edited by Curare86; 12-25-2013 at 10:59 AM.. |

PERFECT fitment and carbon fiber that doesn't fade and original design parts. the fake revozport stuff from china is what's horrible, stay away from that stuff but the original revozport stuff is perfect. ask @ilikebmxbikes who has had a lot of their parts as well, but revozport truly stands above the rest of the other suppliers in terms of their product line up for the 1M IMHO Last edited by EINSER M; 12-27-2013 at 06:23 PM.. |

If you want parts made in the USA then look into the SleK 1M kit. Everything is manufactured in California.

By the way, I've send them an e-mail asking about the availibility of buying their soon to come 1M Raze GT rear difusor (from wide body kit), the reply was a categoric "no", saying it will be sold only as a part of the kit. Also, don't know if that kit will be applicable on 1Ms since it will be available for all E82s. That was sad news for me, but I am hoping I can convince them selling one to me buy offering some stupid cash or a free trip to South America etc.

The 1M Raze Gt diffuser is designed for the 1M Raze GT bumper which is super wide to mate up the widened rear arches. It won't work on your 1M bumper. I will say the kit is pretty aggressive and completely overhauls an e82. The new hood, trunk and wing will be compatible with all e82. They are primarily designing the kit for race application but it will be available to consumers. The kit is super wide, three vents on the hood similar to the old vorsteiner hood but updated and rear brake ducts in the huge rear arches. It is bad ass. All my CF is satin 2x2 but they have gloss and 1x1 available. If you want any photos of any of the other finishes or of parts on the cars let me know. |

I bet we could easily get 10 1M owners if not more for THAT diffuser right away, maybe a one-off batch for 1M owners, even if price would be more than their actual diffuser and they would need a deposit or pre-payment in full. Many would love the idea of having the best and distinct diffuser.

1M Specific CF and mods are in low demand these days. People just have either finished modding their 1m's or people are keeping them stock. Most companies have switched to made-to-order or discontinued the programs. ( vorsteiner and akra are no longer supporting the 1m) |

EDIT: The answer is still a No. No availibility for a one-off, for a batch of whatever size, for whatever price; just as a kit.
