F30 335i Diffuser Compatible with F30 328i?

kalfa15 · 11-20-2013, 08:04 PM

I am thinking of removing my stock 328i rear valence on my f30 and was wondering if i buy a 335i diffuser, would it be compatible on my 328i? Im also getting a new borla exhaust and the muffler installer said that he can do the split piping if i get a 335 exhaust.

Anyone know if this specific one would fit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151159833367...84.m1438.l2649

or have any ideas?? Thanks!

Dude, c´mon, it´s the same body of course it would fit.

I´ve been thinking of doing the same thing because of the symmetry, come back with pics when u´ve had it done!

they have a different bumper, if you change that it should work

No, bumper is the same and that why he asked if the diffuser would fit. Which it will, since the bumpers are the same, meaning diffusers are the same except for the exhaust cutouts.

On the M-Sport you are correct, I don't think he has an M-Sport, however.

The rear diffuser in your ebay link is for the M-Sport bumper only. I'm basing this on the response I just received from the seller:

"This item will fit a BMW F30 M-Sport rear bumper for your reference.

HHAHA, thanks for the post, i was wondering the same thing, and planning to do the same thing when spring comes around. M-Perf Exhaust Plus the Mtech Rear diffuser.

I am pretty sure the M sport diffuser and non m sport diffusers are the same. my friend has an m sport and it is the same as mine.

That´s incorrect, the design is not the same. You cannot fit an M-Sport diffuser on a non M-Sport bumper.

Exactly, the Sport line (Modern line and Luxury line) doesn't even have diffusers. It is a complete bumper change that is needed for them.

Yea, you're right. I guess ill just go ahead and get the exhaust and keep it as dual pipes on the left. I don't feel like dealing with all the headaches in getting a new valence and fitting everything together.

If you´re gonna fit a new exhaust anyway, the "extra headache" of getting a new valance is reaaaally not a big deal. Just go for it

So I am still confused here. I have the base line (non-sport, non-msport, etc) 328. Will the base 335i diffuser fit? or what are the options?

after looking at realOEM, it looks like the 328 is just a bumper with no diffuser so a whole bumper change would be needed...

You have no diffuser, as you said yourself. Whole bumper is needed as a few people said.

Anyone know if there is room on a 428i GC to install exhaust cutouts? I know I should just jack it up and look but I am an old guy and getting lazy so thought I could just ask...Frank

rustyminded · 12-14-2014, 03:00 PM

Or you can get this.
