M5 style rear diffuser
I just bought an aftermarket m5 style rear diffuser on ebay for my bmw g30.
Where I can find a towing eye cover for the rear diffuser. I mean what the exact color when the diffuser come in glossy black. It's sapphire black or jet black? Cause I find only towing eye cover in sapphire black (475 color code) on ebay Other questions did you use a special tool (like trim panel tools) to release clips from the genuine diffuser cause don't want to break clips.

Assume you contacted the seller? Strange they don't include it. I am on my second as I didn't like the first but they both came with the tow hook cover. You can wrap it if need be. Assume the diffuser is gloss black so just get a 12" x 12" gloss black vinyl. Should work. I wrapped my rear reflectors in 3m gloss black. Matches perfectly.

Thks for your help
My car is a bmw g30 520d Msport The m5 style rear diffuser has to fit the bumper of my car but don't understand why those 2 slots tab in the upper right corner don't fix to my bumper they slide out. I need to fill the hole with a small plastic part to give a better fixation but when I drive with the road it moves. And on the right side it's the same you see slight space. If I push with my hand this part it automatically back to me it slides out. |

I recently got a m5 style diffuser too. Same problem. I took it out and re installed it this time from right to left. Make sure you put the screw next the exhaust tip right from the get go. This way there is less pressure on that pin. Check the pins on the diffuser one at the time, in my experience some bent down and hence the fitment came loose. I bent them up and then put it back together. Hope this helps. |

there's room to slide the diffuser left and right just a little. this happens when it's aligned to one side further than the other. just loosen all the screws, pop out the side that's popping out and tug the whole diffuser towards the side.

OK Thks I will try this technic.
I loose all the screws (3 under middle and 2 one each sides) Then I slide out the side where the slot tabs are sliding out ( the right side) and I don't move the left slot tabs? I try only to move the diffuser to the left side? Hope I well understood However, the upper fixing tab on the right side is in front of the hole (on the bumper but it doesn't fix) , on the other hand, it is true that you have to force the right lateral and upper side which does not fit well because there is a space we see in the photo.

This is the only seller on eBay who was selling M5 style diffusers specifically for M550i / M-Performance tips (without modification) but out of stock. Listing provides details that the exhaust opening is 10" and in the trapezoid shape
