Sport Line Diffuser?

I'm looking for a diffuser for my sedan F30, all I really find is for a MP rear bumper... anyone have or seen anything good for a Sport line Bumper or point me in a good direction?

Thanks!!

there is no diffuser for the sportline bumper. it is a complete bumper. some people have wrapped the "diffuser" to look like its a separate piece.

Found this..... not cheap... looks you have to make a cut depending on exhaust pipe configuration. And not sure how it attachs to vehicle.

Probably contact seller with those questions.

That's what I figured maybe there was something I can put on top of the bumper... only thing is I have a black car LOL.

I've always thought the sportline rear bumper was really clean...looks even better partially wrapped in black.

I'd offer my grey M-sport rear diffuser since I have no further use for it, but Personally I hated dealing with 2 tone on my murdered out car. I went for a chinese CF rear diffuser, I love the way it looks now.

AC Schnitzer makes one to fit single or double exhaust for sport line. It is paintable, but very pricey.

I think ACS makes the best quality diffusers and essentially all Chinese knockoffs are based on ACS and M BMW parts. Most are bad but many are more than sufficient and can be picked up for far less than brand name stuff.

I got an email back from seller reference install:

"..All aftermarket body parts required professional body shop for installation.
This body parts are ( Mount by bolts and screws ) ( Drilling is required ) ( 7 layers PFRP *** Reinforced Fiber Glass combined with soft resin within the structure *** )

( Your body shop must provide you extra bolts, screws & brackets for installation ).
( All aftermarket parts might required work & modification, professional required ).

Steps to install a body part : ( pre-fit > drilling > put bolts & screws )
Steps to paint a body part : ( sand & prep work > shoot color primer > paint job )

Hmm, seems like typical aftermarket products except I would think they would sell the hardware with their product. Thanks for the info!

I'd shun away from anything FRP or PFRP, IMO. Usually requires a lot of work to get them right. The amount you'll spend in prep and sanding; you could just by a quality part and save the headache.
