e90 M3 Diffuser Question

avantegardestyle · 03-09-2015, 10:53 AM

Hello All.

looking for some feedback that would help me to make a decision.

I own an e90 M3 in space Grey. and have been slowly doing some mods to the car bit by bit.
At the moment I am looking to purchase a diffuser, but not to spend an excessive amount of money as it is purely cosmetic (arent most of them purely that

)

I have looked at a few an cannot seem to find one I really like.

I like this:
http://www.amazon.com/2008-2013-BMW-...+rear+diffuser

but would prefer something spread out more across the rear bumper, like this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E90-M3-S...d48ee5&vxp=mtr

my only issue is that i do not like the gaps at the sides between the bumper and the diffuser and would prefer something that fits closer ans more snug to the bumper.

If anyone has pics or recommendations of diffusers they own I would love to see. I am also reluctant in buying anything from overseas in China as it will be a headache to return if the quality/ fitment isn't to my liking.

All help will e appreciated in terms of pictures and leads in the US.

My Budget is about $500 as I do not want to spend more that that right now

I have the Vorsteiner Type II that looks like the first one you posted. Check out the 3D diffuser (I haven't seen it in person or owned one):

thanks

I like that, it looks great, as the diffuser spreads out on the bumper nicely, as opposed to the one i posted which ends just about an in or 2 beyond the exhaust pipes which is the same way the Vorstiener fits

one you posted is probably very expensive though........

Arkym has a cheaper option that extends out further than the Vorsteiner, but still more than $500. Try looking used

I have the 3D style one shown here on my car. It fits pretty good. I did have to use silicone and it's pretty flush. I installed it myself and not only used 3m tape but adhesive and taped it flush overnight and I also used a piece of wood with a towel on top to make it stay nice and tight. Being that it was a rep it wasn't "perfect", but close. Im picky as fuck and I am happy with how mine came out.
