I recall that the F22 is about 0.6" wider than a non-M e46 and about 0.2" narrower than an E46 M3. Could something like a FancyWide x BuildJournal diffuser be adapted to fit due to the similar widths? How similar is the exhaust placement?

I've also thought about that - haven't investigated it.

Are you looking for functional downforce? Or that look?

At this point, I'm looking for really anything that could be made to work on a Sportline bumper. I'd prefer to 'do it right' with functional aero...but I'd settle for looking cool on Instagram. I'm realistic about the fact that the car has spent 99% of its miles as a daily driver with the rest of the miles on auto-x (where the speeds aren't high enough for aero to matter) and HPDE (where "winning" is a tongue-in-cheek joke).

I guess I could just swap out for an m-sport bumper and have an array of options. But I really don't want to bother with trying to get the paint matched.

As a maybe more functional alternative, Difflow makes a unit for the STi (similar size and body plan) which maybe could be adapted to an F22 with some custom fabrication.

I've been looking for a functional diffuser for the track for my 240 for a while as well. The 'difflow' looks pretty decent. Sadly I havent seen anything other than cosmetic. I may have to build one.

Following up on this thread - what do you guys think of this one, I cannot find any dual exhaust rear diffusers with a brake light - just a quad.
