Let us know how you get in fitting it and if you have similar challenges with the parking sensors that people have had with rear diffusers. I think I am going to order it too in a month or so.

I figured that with this lockdown i have plenty of time to mess about with the parking sensors and get them right, so hopefully I'll get them working properly.

Their listing states “100% OEM fitment” in the title, so if I can’t get the pdc to work properly I can easily send it back for a refund.

if you look, it indicates that it does not admit returns, that's why I have not asked for it

Of course you can return if it’s not as described, it’s eBay policy.

I have received the wrong diffuser! They sent the X3M style one (which is £200)

I do like the look of it, but not sure about the larger exhaust openings looking right with the M40 exhaust tips, I can't find any photos of one fitted to an M40.

But maybe this diffuser doesn't have the PDC sensor problems!?

I'm a bit torn what to do? :

There's only 1 way to find out & that is to fit it and send us photos.

But once I've fitted it I can't return it for being the wrong one.

Don't fully seat it. Get it in position, maybe use some painters tape, take a step back and see if you like it.

Good idea!

[teaston]

I love it!

Definitely more subtle than the "M Performance" style one, but it's sportier than the standard one and most importantly to me it's gloss black, not grey.

Fitment is very good, once I worked out where the two adaptor plates went! Paint finish is pretty good, not quite as good as the Maxton splitter though.

And the PDC sensors fit great, and work perfectly so far!!

Crap weather conditions for photos today, will take better ones when it's sunny.

Guess you'll just have to get quad exhausts......

It turns out this diffuser is designed for the M40, the exhaust openings are smaller than the X3M one.

looks great!! You have the link where you asked for it, the only downside that I see is that the leaks are something inside

What does “leaks are something inside” mean?

It’s this one:

Yes. This X3M diffuser is beefy, it pokes out more, and is also quite a bit deeper, hence why these adapters are required to secure the bottom of the diffuser:

My 3D Design rear diffuser comes in tomorrow!! I will be the 1st to test fit over the oem trailer hitch. I have a feeling it will clear if not with little modification it will work.
