Alright, here it is everyone! The moment we've all (well, some of us) have been waiting for.

MPerformance Diffuser painted full gloss black.





Now, I know that the concern with going all gloss black was that you would lose the lines of the diffuser and it would just not look as good, I can say with certainty this is not the case. While some of the pictures may make it look like you lose some of the lines with it being all black this is not the case at all. In person and standing behind the car it is very easy to see the details and the fins of the diffuser. It really does look amazing against the Estoril Blue paint. I could not be any more pleased with how this came out.

Oh, and F32 N55, you might noticed I have removed the xDrive and Rallye badges finally. I am going back and fourth on the 428i but will probably remove it.

The xDrive badge cracked after the x lol.

You are my hero! Right tip is still off by a little. :-)

Seriously it does look good in all gloss black. That will look marvelous on my white car.

Btw, go with gloss black badges.

What right tip? I don't even think there is a right side tip. What are you talking about?

I totally agree, the contrast on white will look great. Its a stunning diffuser in person, really nice and aggressive lines.

Looks nice. What are inside the 2 side vents? Mesh grilles or just open space?

Mesh grill

Looks so much cleaner without that RALLYE logo and xDrive logo. IMO BMW just needs to get rid of the whole xDrive logo thing and use XI again.. they obviously don't know what to do with the logo as its placement has now changed twice, looking equally stupid in each location.

Looks sick! If you remove the badge we would think its a 435. Anyway you've given me some ideas about a diffuser.

[PCR0303]

Yes! It looks fantastic! Welcome to the M Performance diffuser club!

[twincam23]

[wolves]

Diffuser looks sexy!

Shave that ass completely clean. It will look odd but you'll get used to it.

Looks awesome so far. Ditch ALL the badges. You won't miss them, and your car will be faster. But seriously, ditch them.

LOL! Yeah I will ditch them when I put the trunk lip on, I know it makes the rear of the car look very clean.

I just removed mine in preparation for my gloss black badges and I must admit I too like it more bare. I've never debadged before but now I see why people do it. If I choose to leave it naked I better a license plate frame that declares my car a 428i or else I will get flamed on this forum!

BTW, what paint code did you use for the diffuser? Does it match the existing gloss black on your car?

That's what I was worried about too! LOL.

But I really don't care at this point.

Plus I have an almighty N55 owner's blessing to debage, F32 N55

Also, I'm not sure. I just told him gloss black. He might have done it in 668 Jet Black. Honestly gloss black should pretty much look the same no matter what.

I see you did a lot of work on your ASS lol. Looks good!!
