It bothered me it didnt fit perfect. The screws on the ends didnt line up and there were gaps. I figure if im driving around in a 65k car i should atleast just get the oem part and its perfect and flush now. That was the only "mod" i did which im happy with

So I got the eBay europartsautostore diffuser installed it took a little bit longer than 10 minutes only because the piece needed a little bit of stretching and fussing around to fit but it finally manage to get it on. Any thoughts on painting it ?

Fitment issues with the Advan one, going OEM unless anyone has any better experiences with aftermarket.

Hey Cyclingbrethren, did you purchase the F32 coupe one, from Europartsautostore? See link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/14-BMW-F32-4...item3ab177ba73

As they don't appear to have one that specifically says 2016 / or F36 GC. I had a bad fitment issue with an Advan diffuser, which appeared to be too short (1/4" or so)

thanks in advance for any response.

Depends on price really. I'd like to stay around the $500 range. Know of anything? I'm also in the DC area.

I bought the one from europartsstore. You get what you pay for.

There are some impefections in the back side of the molding and cheap wire grills that install with crude metal clips that I cut my hands up on.

Install was somewhat difficult as I had spend half an hour to stretch and pull on the plastic to get it to fit. Im still not convinced its going to stay on if I were to hit a gnarly bump. But it does look great installed...

Yes i did but the fitment took some stretching but you get what you pay for in the end it looks legit
