335d dual exhaust conversion - Rear diffuser
Looking for some advice from those that have had their 335d converter to dual pipe exhaust.
I have the M-performance rear diffuser. Just got a quote from BMW for the 335i/340i equivalent and its £389. I am not willing to pay that on top of the exhaust price. So I have 2 choices 1. Get a replica M performance diffuser. Are they any good? Where do you get them from? 2. Fit the standard 340i diffuser, which is only £75. Will i look crap? |

Did you pay close to £400 for that diffuser? I have been quoted £350 for the exhaust, which would be £750. Just does not seem worth it considering its for aesthetics only

I just got a replica diffuser, and it's worked fine for 3 years. I actually have a standard 335i rear apron too, as I've got a tow bar, which ever so slightly catches the diffuser, but I don't use it often enough to worry about.

Who did the conversion for you? Is it a good job welding etc? I'm in your area I think.

Thanks for the comments. Replica it is. Will be keeping the original to put back on when I sell it.
