I see two different diffusers. What are the OEM part numbers?

PURE340i · 03-18-2020, 01:35 PM

Looks good! I want to see one installed.

2kaccordocoupe · 03-18-2020, 01:50 PM

wondering if these allow you to retain the kick to open and close

Yes, I got it later. But thanks! I am surprised they both look so different. Glad I have the X3

Is this the one that A&L is working on for you guys? I was just in their shop chatting with them.

Or is this OEM from BMW?

It's underwhelming. Not aggressive enough.

2kaccordocoupe · 03-18-2020, 05:48 PM

The 4 spike version is x3m the other non spike version is x4m

It's the same diffuser you get if you order the exterior carbon package - option code 71C on your factory build.

Yes, especially considering that it costs 3k.

Dang! The CF kit at build was ~$4K cdn and it included

2x CF intake bits
2x side mirror caps
Same Rear diffuser as above
Trunk lip spiller (x4 only)

The kit for x3 was ~$3500 but didn't include the trunk lip

beammeupscottie · 03-18-2020, 07:02 PM

Let's see this installed....and a matching front lip?

Front splitters too I believe, or are those just M performance?

Yes you are correct the package also included the front wiglets / splitters. Forgot about those

noushy · 03-18-2020, 08:14 PM

Its part of the carbon exterior package. Not M performance and meant for replacement of a damaged car. Unfortunately package was not available when I ordered. It is way too expensive piece by piece. I did order that part though to match my akra exhaust.

When is the front lip coming out?

Will do. The diffuser will go on first and should be here in the next two weeks depending on shipping from Germany and what is the status with the cov2 infections worldwide. The exhaust is ordered and first ones get here in April per our good friend Ben from RGSport. We will see given the above issue.

This post may help. I should really convince my buddy at Highline Composites to do a run of diffusers for this group.

Can anyone with the M performance diffuser comment if the tailgate foot sensor still work? I'm getting answers on both sides of the fence. Some claim it does and other claiming it doesn't.
