small flat trim will fit in green circle place see pic . I would suggest , lay under the car and look at everything in detail and then start , trust me it's pretty easy and only need basic tools for this job Don't yank it out or push in hard that's all. I will try to take some pics for you but I don't know if you know we are getting hit by snow badly this week but soon as weather clears I will do that for you mate. Help it helped . |

Has anyone bought this rear diffuser on Ikon’s website (link below)? I’m looking for pictures, and general feedback re fit, quality, etc., to see if it’s something I want to go with on my M550. I’m also considering the M performance parts as discussed in this thread.

Hi Guys,
I have installed the M performance diffuser and small insert trim. While I have used a replica version, I have ordered the genuine parts from my local dealership. To be honest, I couldn’t find a single G30 in person, that had one fitted so I wasn’t certain if I would like it, so decided to get the cheap one first to make my mind up and I must say in person it makes a good difference. While I find the black gloss version really pops, I do think the Matt black might look more OEM and less boy racer. I have two questions, my replica version as you can see from the photos, I can not get the bolts under the vehicle to line up, else where the fit and quality is pretty decent for the £110 asking price (but not perfect) Reading the BMW M Performance aero kit installation guide, it mentions cutting two small areas of the large exhaust support cover, however this isn’t clear if this is only required for the larger carbon fibre wing version. Does anyone know ? Looking underneath the car, I can’t see how cutting these areas would benefit the fit of this version. Question two, has anyone painted the small insert in their body colour like shown in the official photos? I can’t seem to find any real life pictures and would you think the looking having the insert painted white or keeping it all Matt black would look best. Thanks Jon Last edited by G30NI; 04-23-2021 at 06:32 PM.. |

You need a different brace like in the middle of this picture. When I ordered mine they pointed this out for me. I have photos at the link in my signature. I painted the main panel to match and the insert in black sapphire metallic.

Hi G50, I’ve not been able to, now don’t get me wrong it’s on fine and won’t fall off, as it’s held on with clips and the two bolts at each end, which is the same as the standard diffuser comes, it just annoys me the three centre bolts holes don’t align.
Mach has pointed out it may need another exhaust holder trim, am still reading up on this as his is a 550i which I believe has a different exhaust holder trim to lower models. As the UK m performance fitting guide does not list this step (we didn’t have the 550i pre LCI in the UK Last edited by G30NI; 04-27-2021 at 04:16 PM.. |

By the way, replacing the plastic bracing requires you to remove the entire bumper panel

not fit the standard M sport exhaust support adapter. As you can see from my photos the new adapter has holes in it, which are needed for the fins to fit threw so it’s a bumper off job to fit. I have decided not to attempt fitting this myself and will take it to the dealer. Thanks Jon G30NI |

It's really not that difficult to do in your garage within a morning or afternoon and you don't need any special bits or tools to install it. I think I attached the guide to my build thread in my signature too.
