I think one of us has to bite the bullet buy one and see if/how much work it will take to fit. I haven't seen one for e92 and I've checked the whole internet.

Came in today


Car goes up removed old diffuser


Diffuser is in






Pretty easy install. Fitment is alright you really have to bend the outer sides to get the tabs in the hole I was paranoid of cracking in the middle.

The tabs pissed me off on the diffuser. Its pretty much a straight piece, it doesn't have any real way to hook to the latches in the holes. So i'm afraid the outer sides might just pop off on the latches.

Overall I'm pretty satisified with the way it looks

@Rivers Looks great. One of the tabs on my cf diffuser doesn't really latch on that well either so I drilled a small hole in the tab and secured it with a zip tie after pushing the tab into the mounting point of the bumper. Hope that made sense.

I was about to pull the trigger on this. But fitment looks off on both top corners, looks to be a gap. Is this true? Little hard to tell with the pictures. Can you take a pic from straight behind the car?

No, I hear you. I think it might bother me, but I'm a little over picky. I wonder if there's a way to fix that

I'll probably just pull it and drill a hole the diffuser and bumper, then put a screw threw it to keep it in place. Hopefully I won't crack it

I didn't realize it until I just looked at the stock diffuser. The stock diffuser isn't flush in that area either. Looks to me like alright fitment.

Nice man car is looking fresh! I am curious about fitment as that Roma guy looked pretty spot on.

Is your bumper aftermarket or oem?

Thanks man, my bumper is OEM

Roma's probably has his pushed all the way in on the top corners, as for mine I can still push it 1/4 in more. If you look at your tabs on the diffuser there is not really much a lip to hook on to bumper. I'm gonna have to do what Steven suggested and drill a small hole on the tab, push it all the way, then ziptied it to lock it in place. I just got unlucky with the tabs.

So I just got my aftermarket ECS bumper in Friday and after a crazy weekend I was able to do a quick test fit last night. I definitely have the same thing going on, the tabs don't really hold it in place that well. I will end up doing the drill and ziptie thing once my bumper is the color I want it. I will update once that is done!

You know you can just email the seller and ask if it will fit or if the sell one.
