Picked up a nice BMW Performance Style rear diffuser from Ikon Motorsports. Fits like a glove and was really nice quality out the box with a matte finish. I decided I would take some acrylic clear coat to it just to have it shine up a bit and match the gloss black trim on the car. After about 5 coats, some wet sanding with 2000 grit sand paper, compound, polish, and polish some more...I ended up with this:





Fits like a glove.

Oh yeah, also picked up a set of aluminum chargepipes from Miami Performance Inc. My buddy Jack does some super wonderful fabrication work, these end up costing only $240...much less than any of the makes out there now. They're all fabricated and powdercoated in Miami.

A set? The n55 only needs a single I thought. Diffuser looks great. I kept mine matte and wrapped the reflectors to match

N55 on the E series was one piece...N55 on the F30 has two pieces and a silicon coupler.

Have you installed it yet?

I've been debating on getting a SSK but there's so few of us F30 6mt owners that I haven't found anyone who's done it yet.

Replaces the stock intake piping that runs from the intercooler to the throttle body. The stock plastic one fails.
