Hey, I'm assuming the diffuser is matte black? If yes, thinking whether to go with:
Option A: matte black grill (to match diffuser) with the matte black diffuser
Option B: gloss black grill (to match trim) with the matte black diffuser

It is matte black, which is how the genuine M Performance one is. Also genuine m performance grilles are gloss black, which is why i prefer the gloss grilles.

I like to keep as oem as possible.

Question is, what next?
Diffuser?
Gear shift and gater?
Splitter?
Boot spoiler?

Spoiler is a must! Diffuser is nice, but maybe not entirely necessary. Others don't bother me personally.

This is the Uk Listing that you can select colour:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAINTED-BM...item54065b4453

This is the one i bought from ebay.com pre painted in #B45 (EB2), i requested a quote for UK shipping and the total was $118 (£70.57) so saved £17! He does have others pre painted in some other colours.

@Teaston, how much did you have to pay on Import Duty?

Nothing as i asked him to declare the value as less than £15!

Anything £15 to £135 is only subject to import vat (20% of item value AND postage cost) not import duty. Plus there's a admin charge of a few quid, exact amount varies between couriers.

Have always loved the exhausts on the AMG's and the RS's.

My lowly 325d only has the dual exhausts and even those look rubbish in my honest opinion. I think the staggered dual exhausts on the Audi's look much better.

Just my 2p's worth....

Drooool. That looks just perfect!!!

Was driving behind a 2013 M5 on my way to work and I think your diffuser looks better than the one on the M5.

Notice the reflectors are gone, are they a legal thing, dull question I know but plod might ask

Diffuser looks great, hate the way the 6cyl diesels are treated why different to a 335i when the 535d has a tailpipe each side?

@2blu is in Canada so I'm assuming rules around reflectors are different to what we have in the UK.

Doesn't the 335d have twin's on each side?
