If you can take 1-2 picture closer that would be amazing Just want to confirm look of the finish before pulling the trigger ! Thanks

Arrived and installed. As previously said the fit is spot on, all the tabs and screw holes align, but getting the tabs to pop is is a bitch. You really need to push back from the inside bumper but most of it is almost completely inaccessible. Just have flexible fingers and patience. I put in one side first then all the screws then worked slowly across. Took about 15 minutes and some slightly sore fingers.
Very happy with the quality and the fit.

Looks great !!
Putting order in right now

Ignore the snow grime. The part fits perfectly and there's no need to take the bumper off.

How do you guys think it would look unpainted on a black sapphire metallic car? Should I get it painted to match or get the gloss black one instead?

That depends on whether you like glossy looks vs matte?

Me personally would go unpainted but I like matte look!

Wow looks great. Thinking about pulling the trigger. I think if I get it I'll take it to a body shop and have them paint the lower middle fin area to match my blue and leave the rest unpainted. Anyone else get theirs yet to make me more jealous?

Ok I finally decided to pull the trigger and buy one. Receives and installed it today. 15min job without removing the bumper. Honestly quality is very good for the price and I personally will leave it as is, matte black as my front diffuser. Here are before and after pictures. Might need to realign my Remus exhaust tips and change m240i badge to black one

How I feel watching this thread

It's so cheap, you can't afford NOT to get one.

Painted the middle. Couldnt wait to get pics so they're all in the dark lol.

Before I put it on I was like "jeez I should just take the damn bumper off this is gona be torture". But then I took the old one off in 10 seconds. THANK GOD I DIDNT TAKE THE BUMPER OFF. Then I had a hell of a time getting the clips to engage on the new diffuser.

My advice:

Old one: remove bottom 4 bolts and 2 poppers on the edge first. If you look up under bumper you can get a finger on the 4 edge clips and the two most outside top clips. Remove 2 from one edge with finger or screwdriver, remove the one outside clip you can see with finger or screwdriver, then to get to the clips you CANT see push the entire diffuser away from the car and up and that will get you just enough room to get a small screwdriver on each clip and POP POP POP the whole thing is off

New one: do the 4 bolts and 2 pops last. Start popping on the clips on. Some of the middle ones will not want to go in. I tried using trim tools and screwdrivers to force them in. Very frustrating. I did get one or two in with tremendous force on the screwdriver but I didnt see how I would get them all in. Finally I realized the trick was to use a knee at the middle of the diffuser to push up and in and the clips will pop in on their own. You cant do this if the bottom is bolted in already.

Looks nice!

I had to route the new exhaust valve cable so I just took the bumper off when I installed the diffuser. With bumper off it took me 10 seconds to clip it, but because I did not knew how to take the bumper off I did broke 2 clips ( on the bumper ) because of 2 hidden screws.

If anyone ever needs to remove the bumper, just remember: there are 4 screws you need to remove in each wheel well, 3 visible, 1 hidden.

So I put my VIN in and it correctly identifies my car, which is a 2018 F22 230i and I pick the diffuser for my factory exhaust (2 pipe left side exit). Is it because it does not identify Msport pkg on the 230s? I get this message when I go to check out

Please note: This part doesn't fit the car you had selected at the time you added it to your cart. Please, make sure that it fits your car, before you order it!

Hey don't want to hijack the thread but what lips spoiler do you have and can you show some pics? Love the EAS Lightweight look but not the price and GazP lip is cool too.
