Agreed. I had it in white for only one day. The white diffuser makes the rear end way too big visually. Just undid it yesterday. Now it's back to stock grey.

Wow! It's like playing photohunt!! Except you gave away the answer already. Plus it's pretty obvious of the change. Amazing photo.

good choice, looks better the bumper needs that contrast of black section just looks wrong all one colour its too big an area and lots of lines and shapes doesn't work. ..lol u can tell i work in design industry.

actually i confess i had an e92 m sport, and i did the diffuser in blue to match body..put in on car and hated it and within a week brought a black one again much happier.

again this is more base model 2 series they have the colour coded section, so if you pait your m sport rear diffuser it ends up making it look like the lower models.
