I'm seeing a lot of MSports, here's my Sport line. Rainy day here in the Bay Area. As an added bonus, my coworker's Estoril Blue 340i MSport was parked right in front of mine as I was leaving work.

The mixed parts is something I was hesitant about but the reasons I did it were that I got $100 off for getting the whole set, I didn't want the stock rear bumper, and I didn't want to go custom exhaust (the stock exhaust wouldn't fit the rear bumper) since I've always planned to get the AWE Tuning exhaust. At the end of the day I'm not driving an M3, more like a 328i+! Lol..

All of this prior to 1000 miles on the car lol
I also have Weathertech floor mats in interior and jb+ that i just ordered going in next week. I have the full alcantara trim including shifter and e brake not yet installed and waiting to do it.

interesting idea on the exhaust tips. I think if I could fit a bit bigger that would look nice, but I like the style of my MPE tips.

I love the way a more agressive rear diffuser looks on these cars. anyone know of a way to fit a more aggressive rear diffuser to a non msport car without just going to msport bumpers?

so many msports... definitely the way to go if you want agressive, but that sport line looks quite good too unfortunately my car is base as can be, only nav and premium package

As far as I've seen the diffusers are all made for the M Sports. Would be any place to attach it on the base bumper.

There was a member in here who either painted or vinyled the inner part of his back bumper in black. It gave it a nice two tone sport look, paired up with original side skirts and an M-Sport front bumper.

The back bumper mod was cost effective and looked great. I'll see if I can find his thread.

That's how I bought it actually. I originally had single slat that I picked up from ECS. Once I was hit and it broke, they ran out (Lol). So I searched EBay and found this one in dual slat. Actually fit perfectly and looks good 1+ year later.

Honestly, that's basically the only option atm. There are a few EBay diffusers and an AC Schnitzer diffuser, but they all stick out a bunch and don't look as clean IMO. I really don't want to blow another $800+ on a bumper, but I may eventually do it.

Nice ride! What are those rear bumper lower side 'blade' extensions called / where did you get them?
Bmw makes the MP lower blades for our side rocker panels but haven't seen any aftermarket rear bumper ones to continue that look. Interested in getting a set!

do they fit non-msport? would you mind putting a link to those in this thread, I would love to check them out. so far for non-msport diffusers this is what I've found:

https://www.ebay.com/i/281854908950?chn=ps&dispItem=1

https://www.carid.com/duraflex/k-spo...hoC7MMQAvD_BwE

the eBay one just doesn't look good IMO, so thats out

the Duraflex one I do like, but shipping is like $100 dollars on them, or free shipping but they're listed at like $450. wonder why that is. I would definitely order it if it was more affordable.

pretty much what I've found too with the exception of the ones I posted above. I guess the only option would be to 3M a new one over the existing one.

[rjd_F30]

hold on now, here's the AC Schnitzer one:

https://www.ac-schnitzer.de/en/bmw/3...s-f30-f31.html

but I'm not sure how it attaches? I saw this though: for cars with trailer hitch SA 3AC only in connection with AC Schnitzer adapter 7160230110. what does this mean?
actually looks great to me! thoughts?

[MaximusJ]

A tint and some performance additions were made since those pics. Really like the progress so far. I took delivery kinda late in 2017 and with the winters we have, its hard to work on a car if you dont have a heated garage. But it'll be a work in progress for 2018.





This summer I want to ditch the splitters and get a full lip. Maybe reconsider the diffuser, but this year most of my mods will be under the hood/car.

But I'm planning myself a couple nice and original photoshoot once most of the work is done.

Pretty sure you either drill, cut, or use their adapter, like mentioned. Where that goes, I'm not sure. I will say that it's still expensive (Like all AC Schnitzer parts) and I'd rather go M-Sport at that point.

damn, was hoping it'd be a bit easier, I'll definitely look into though.

very nice, thanks for the pics. after seeing all these I'm glad I just got the F80 style spoiler ordered and now I definitely want to debadge and go for a diffuser.

found some instructions for the AC Schnitzer diffuser install.

looks very annoying and its wayyyy too expensive, so that's gonna be a no. I'll keep looking though. will update if I find anything.
