Rear diffuser ideas

Anyone with any input on a new diffuser? I don't want CF, just something a little more aggressive. Seems to be a lot of choices for G30, but very little for M550.
Thanks

I have the AC Schnitzer but fitment is a little annoying, just been too lazy on night shift to get new pictures. Not sure how it will look with the stock exhaust though as I did their full catback exhaust.

The m550i exhaust tips are slightly larger than the oem 540i & 530i.

They would fill this M5 style diffuser way better.

Your other option is M performance diffuser but a replica one from ebay without carbon fibre. I bought this one & the fitment is great. You can see that the oem 540i exhaust tips are smaller. Now I'm looking to get the m performance tips which will fill up the gaps in the diffuser nicely. The M550i tips are designed to fill that gap.

They seem to be out of stock now but ask them when they will get some more.

This does not fit with standard m550 exhaust nor does it fit with the Dinan. I can vouch for this firsthand.
