Nice, looks great on your color as well. Fit and quality is pretty good huh? I just wish the middle bottom screws lined up even though 5 screws is plenty.

I believe all the side screws fit perfectly but the three middle ones were not needed when I installed them and I left out the extra OEM plastic from the original diffuser.

Yeah, that bottom piece from the stock diffuser doesn't go back on.

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 just put a rear diffuser on my 2022 m550 yesterday. I'm sure you have heard on this thread many times before, if they are not OEM parts then it may not be a perfect fit.

The tabs on my diffuser also did not line up perfectly to click in place, so I used a drill bit and opened up the slot that clicks the diffuser in place. Now it's flushed in and looks like a perfect fit.

Hope that helps!

A lot of people have to just bend the tabs on the diffuser a bit as they come flat and need to stick out.

Let's see some pics!
