BMW Performance Diffuser

Frobius · 09-03-2012, 09:51 AM

Has anyone fitted one? I've heard that they go on ok with just a little bit of cutting inside the M sport bumper.

Just need to source one now. Not sure if they come in the same colour as the standard sport diffuser tho.

Thoughts?

No cutting required on mine (335D),straight swop,no more than 15mins max.

This is how it comes:

Dealers will normally give a good discount 10-15% if you ask nicely,or try:

335d/i require no cutting.

However 330s, do need some cutting.

It may be worth sending the bloke on this thread a pm for some tips.

btw, I paid £300 for the OEM one painted from my local dealer, it was listed at £345, so worth some haggling.

In your dreams! Just bought a Performance Exhaust from my dealer. Asked (nicely) for a discount and was told the margins on Perf stuff are so small if he discounted it he'd be selling at below cost.

Believe that if you like...

I'm either a much nicer Guy than you,or alternatively, my dealer is a diamond geezer,and your's a tight fisted cant

I'd guess the latter,"below cost"

,quite clearly a fanny!

I recently ordered a diffuser for my 335, along with some other bits from this company.

Even after shipping costs I couldn't get anywhere near their prices when searching the UK.

Frobius · 09-03-2012, 05:20 PM

How much was shipping as they don't list the UK. :/

Frobius · 09-04-2012, 01:55 AM

I speak German, I can email them and ask for shipping costs if you want me to?

Frobius · 09-04-2012, 04:48 AM

That'd be useful mate, thanks!

raf555 · 09-04-2012, 04:56 AM

Some part numbers

Diffuser (non 335) 51 12 2 147 478
Additional pieces needed:
51 12 2 148 725
51 12 2 148 726
51 12 8 040 152 (don't need this as your existing m sport bumper has it already)

Frobius · 09-04-2012, 05:15 AM

Crap, it's pricey especially when it needs painted too. Don't fancy driving about with just a grey primed one!

Might see if I can source an lci diffuser until I can save up!

No, you can't create an account with them as they don't list the UK, but you can place an order with them through email - they WILL want your business.

Shipping is 30 euros plus 1.9% paypal tax, though you will find that's still about £30 cheaper that anyone in the UK.

Guy's, press the UK flag (top left) and the site will change to English language.

Hotcoupe's picture shows you what you get for the 335, I think its the same for the 330 - just 'one' exhaust cut-out instead of 'two'.

Boz335i · 09-04-2012, 09:11 AM

Just spoken to Herr Eckert, he confirms prices as above with no problem shipping to the UK.
