Pretty sure IND would paint one for you...but you'd still be paying CF prices and the paint on top of that.

I would imagine there will be copycat ones on Aliexpress soon enough.

I'm scanning endlessly for a similar style from China - not sure the demand is there though

Well the X3 is BMW's most popular model in NA, So there should be plenty of demand

Ha!

You can see my other daughter's reflection as well to the left.

I have one on order and IND is painting it gloss black (on Alpine White) and installing it for me. The lip is taking forever so I'm thinking about adding the rear diffuser and having them do the same, as Ryan says it's only 2 weeks lead time on the diffuser. Will post pics after the install.

I wish the 3D Design diffuser was more aggressive. I love the look of the one I got but the fitment quality just isn't there. I'd gladly order the 3D Design otherwise.

Agree. I'm on the fence. It's more aggressive than stock, but not quite enough for me. All your posts about backup sensor issues steered me away from that model and back to the $$$ 3D product. Ryan offered to paint the stock diffuser gloss black for just over a hundred bucks, so I might just do that.

Definitely post pics of the diffuser if you end up going for it. My guess would be that it is a lot better in person than what the photos are showing.

That's what I'm doing! Should be at IND in a few weeks for gloss black paint and installation.

Reviving this thread. Did you get that gloss black lip installed yet @thekronoschef?

Has anyone installed the diffuser on their M40i? Still wondering how it looks with the OEM pipes and if it affects the sensors at all.

I'll take more photos tomorrow. I'm waiting on the CF mirrors to come in. The front lip completes the look IMO.
