That is the price if you pick it up....... in Denmark.

Did you inquire about price for shipping it to the US?

They quote $73.58 for freight to the US.

Schmiedmann have always given excellent service when I've had them ship parts to me in Canada.

$73 to me in Maryland too.

I ordered it, it was scheduled to arrive Friday but now says weather delay on DHL's site.

I'll let you know the fit when I mount it.

Please keep us posted as I was just about to buy one also

was wondering how the finish is and if it can be installed without being painted, similar to M performance one

Are there any installed pics floating around?

It was scheduled to arrive today but apparently there was bad weather in Belgium.

I'll put it on as soon as it arrives. going to attempt without taking the bumper off.

jb-slow · 02-12-2021, 09:08 PM

Cool, if it fits I'll be ordering one

jb-slow · 02-18-2021, 09:21 AM

Get it on yet?

No, some weather event in europe has kept it in Liepzig for the last week.
It was scheduled to take 4 days total, has been 9 already.

The instructions say to take off the bumper, but what gives me hope that I won't need to is that the top clips appear to actually be clips like the stock diffuser and not just flat pieces that slot in.

I have taken the stock diffuser off this car and my old F30 many times and it take 5 minutes without taking off the bumper because it clicks in across the top.

We shall see.

I have one but it was used and on eBay. I didn't have to remove the bumper but the upper tabs had to be "smacked" a few times before they seated.

I can't tell any difference in when it comes to the OEM piece, great replica.

jb-slow · 02-18-2021, 10:33 AM

Looks good, did you need to add the exhaust extension pieces?

No but I like the subtle/recessed look so I opted out.

How is the plastic quality ? Can be installed as OEM one without painting it ? Thx

I'll let you know about the quality, but the BMW M performance diffuser has the same unpainted plastic surface.

I have the Schmiedmann diffuser, but it is not installed yet, as I have a 228i and still waiting for a new exhaust. I took a picture of it. I am pleased with the quality, I doubt the OEM would be better to justify paying 5 times more.

jb-slow · 02-19-2021, 08:08 AM

Got mine ordered up

So in your opinion quality is decent enought to be installed without painting it ? I am personally looking at black matte finish and that is what I see in your picture. Thx

ngl · 02-19-2021, 01:07 PM

I don't plan to have it painted, I like the way it looks raw. I have the M performance front lip ( replica ) installed, also unpainted so they will be matched. I can take more pictures if there is something in particular you want to see.
