Any idea if this will fit a 540i with M Sport pkg? My thinking is the rear bumper trim on the M550i and 530/540 M Sport are the same (aside from exhaust). Is this correct?

I had this on my 540iX M package at first, took it off and returned it, didn't look good with the wimpy exhaust tips honestly, went with M performance looking lower trim and diffuser but it looks great on an M550! gotta be the exhaust

It should fit but be careful on who you order from. I got mine off eBay and it didn’t fit that well. Gaps. Returned it and got the M performance look alike off eBay. Much better fitment. The M5 diffuser looks too heavy on the 540 imho

I have ordered 2 diffusers that claim they will fit and do not. I have Dinan exhaust and need the wider opening. Can you guys please get me a measurement at the top of exhaust opening?

If I'm not wrong, you want the M5 diffuser with the reflectors on the lower right and left side of the unit that are vertical and not horizontal

I purchased one and that will not accommodate. Off the top of my head I don't recall where I ordered. Those depicted in this thread appear as if they would be perfect.

That's good info, I also agree that the M5 diffuser is just too much on the 540, not a fan. The one I'm considering is this one:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Matt-Blk-Pe...ty!03054!US!-1

Just not sure of the quality considering the very low price.

I thought about that one too - just to get the matte black lower bumper trim to use with my CF diffuser. I did get an all gloss black setup like the one above and used the lower bumper trim - fit great but it's not as "hard" as OEM but once it's on the car, it doesn't matter. You can definitely "shake" it a bit when it's off the car, if that makes sense. Again, mine fits great.
