MCARCAR makes one, check Amazon for it . . . anyone have experience with that version?
Thanks!

I bought replica CF one on Amazon, and it came cracked and scuffed (shipped from china in poorly packaged box). Seller refunded and didnt want to bother with return shipping. So i hit it with some plastidip to hide its imperfections; and it has a nice matte black look, (but you can still see the CF weave through the plastidip).

So, free scuffed CF diffuser with two exhaust cutouts; Installation was cake. Just know if you buy the replica one its most likely coming from china and might not survive the trip.

I have a saved search for "BMW Performance" and this came through one day a few years ago. There was a small bit of cracking in the clear coat, and I won it for only a few hundred bucks. I ran it like that for a while, but recently got it painted jet black to match everything else.

So I found this topic while looking for options. I would have loved to have the OEM BMW Performance one, but since I am late to the E82/E88, all that stuff has been NLA for ages.

Now looking around I did find a version by RW Carbon, which I see is also a site sponsor, but never mentioned here. Their version looks like a 1-1 rep of the BMW one, for a 3rd of the price.
Which as of now, makes this my would be, go to option.

Anyone (in the meantime) that has one of theirs?

Re: 1/3rd the price. OG diffuser is full carbon fiber, RW is carbon skin.

I figured something like that would be the case.

Which is fine by me, as I don’t need it to be completely CF, specially on a part that surely will get marks and scuffs.

Now someone on here must have this version…

I was in a similar boat, all parts NLA and used ones were not in good condition, and were asking too much. I decided to go with Suvneer Motorsports, looks just like the OEM one, and very happy with finish/quality.
