Bmw 435i m performance diffuser

Hi all I have recently bought a 435i in black sapphire metallic, I really like the look of the m performance diffuser but I don't like the £360 price tag from BMW has anyone managed to source one from anywhere else cheaper.

Thanks Matt.

In the same boat i have seen on Ebay you can pick them up for about £230 for a gloss black. I think the Matte Black (plastic) is cheaper.

You can get gloss black for as little as £130. DM-AUTOTEILLE are great quality and around £160.00

He's had no complaints about it, picture of the front lip, he says the fitment is spot on too. Plus the Maxton logo is just a sticker than you can take off.

Just search on Ebay mate, theres loads of them. Personally after using a DM front splitter which was bang on quality wise and a 100% perfect fitment, I will be spending the extra £30 on their rear diffuser. They have their own website which lists in Euros or they have an Ebay shop.

I'm in the US so I can't really help you on U.K. sources but here's my two cents on color. I've got a 335i black sapphire metallic. I had considered a rear diffuser in gloss black or painting it black sapphire. I'm glad that I installed it in matte black first.

That turned out to be the best choice to me. The stock diffuser panel is a grey. The diffuser is down low in that shadow area and the matte black sets it off perfectly. Note that in the photo I eliminated the stock reflector just above the diffuser by painting it black sapphire. Did the same for front fender reflector.

I do like matte black against a gloss/metallic black car, however I would still paint the diffuser matte black so it looks finished. It's nowhere near as much an issue on the diffuser, but the skirt extensions and splitter just look unfinished as they come so I would have to paint the diffuser to make it match, just my 2c
