So was I, until I realised that it is exactly the BMW M Performance design language now. I’ve made a cheeky offer on it so we’ll see in a few hours if he accepts it.

This is an example of something, to me, that looks very acceptable and looks like it was made and designed by the OEM. It gets my approval

No X4 diffusers available yet oddly, but there are some nice boot spoilers becoming available:

I think he got pissed with my £120 offer. He's at £135 and final offer.

Since it appears to be a full replacement, yeah I think I'll go for it.

I think it should be good, I've read through all his feedback and there's a lot of people very happy with their diffusers for other BMW models from him.

Hopefully the parking sensors fit into it easily though! I don't think any previous models had them in the diffuser?

I'm sure they'll be fine so long as they have clips in the back to hold them in there.
