thanks for all your pictures and tips on this thread folks. I just got tracking notification that my diffuser was delivered today and I plan to install later tonight.

I have a Carbon Black 435 Gran Coupe M-Sport. I'm trying to decide on paint for the diffuser. I tend to like the pics of the outer section painted body color and the inside fins left black. I'm wondering if the inside section should be painted gloss black to match my window trim and front kidney slats.

I'll see how it looks installed first and then start to make some paint decisions.... will post pics

installation complete. took a few pics, but it was late & dark ... not sure how they turned out. Will post some decent pics by the weekend.

It appears like a huge improvement. I feel like the rear view of the F32 and F36 in stock M-sport trim is very bland and it's worst angle. Now I just have to decide on paint and if a front lip and side skirts are in my future.... hmm

Will be doing the 428>435 exhaust conversion shortly and I need to buy a M-Performance rear diffuser. There are an overwhelming amount on eBay. All appear to be pretty much the same price. What is the best non-OEM one? Thanks in advance!

Here are some of the ones I'm looking at:

1)

Best place to buy?

I know this post is old, but can someone post where they purchased their diffuser from? I have a 440i, and I like the way this diffuser looks. I have found them online from around $150-$500. Not sure if they all can be painted, or what the real difference in quality is. Thanks

Anyone have photos of a painted M Perf diffuser on a BSM 435i? Contemplating getting one and am undecided on painting or not.

Wasn't able to find one to reference on the forums.

Looks great. Curious, I've a 430 as well, who put on the Performance exhaust for you? I didn't think it was available unless upgrading to the 2 side exhaust. I have asked dealer w/o success. Any problem w/ fitting it.

Thanks

hi all, reviving this thread... if I install by myself, do I have to worry about tripping the backing sensor wires or something? Or I won't even see the wires,etc at all?
