You essentially extend the top, horizontal line heading outward and then maintain a radius as you make the downward cut. I did the same to accommodate OEM 550 tips with the same diffuser. Used a dremel to cut and sand edge and took my time
Exactly. I still need to finely sand, but you get the idea here.

Thanks this helps! I bought a carbon fiber one a few months back and unfortunately it didn’t fit. Not sure I’m confident enough to do the cutting myself without messing it up! Maybe I should just sell it and buy this one: https://www.(R-W-carbon).com/bmw-g30...-diffuser.html It’s quite expensive, but it looks like it fits the M550i larger exhaust tip.

Got around to adjusting the exhaust tips. Much better.

Replied to one of your posts and had to come check out your others, car looks awesome! Was thinking of getting white and had I this is how I would've wanted mine to look. I can't remember that last car I had that wasn't black, been at least 12 years and 7 cars ago. I like the white thought b/c the mods stand out more IMO. Beautiful car though, good job.

Question on the diffuser, does your kick trunk open sensor still work?
