You know I've been bouncing back and forth about the rear diffusor look. My first impression was that it was just a shiny grey slab that was under engineered and had no forethought.

However, yesterday, I was looking at the back of my F30 from a distance, and now I see the similarity. Although still under engineered, I see the thinking in it. The bump/curve the diffusor continues a line from the bumper curve above the rear reflectors, making an "m" wave pattern. This is actually the same as the F30 ( except on the F30, the bottom of the wave is still on the bumper and not on the diffusor ). It might be hard to see in the F30 since the shape is more gradual, but on salt/winter dirt stained car, I can definitely see it.

So the diffusor on the F22 is growing on me... its actually a bit clever.
