E90 M-sport LCI diffuser option for quad tips?

Hi,

I have an E90 LCI with the OEM M-sport rear diffuser. Looking to upgrade to quad tip but can't seem to find a good replacement that fits the OEM bump and at the same time allow for quad tips.

Another option is to trim the diffusor. Not the option I want if I want to revert back to factory later to sell my car.

Any insights?

Cheers

Since the rear bumper is the same on both E90 pre-LCI and E90 LCI, all the quad diffuser available on the market should fit. I'd personally go for the 3D design CF quad diffuser.

Bro, then how about the front mtech bumper? Both the same too ? Wanna install the carbon splitters. They only have mtech splitters for the pre LCI, so i wanna make sure both the same.

The diffuser is inter changable between lci and non lci models. A few have done it already.

the front bumpers mtech or not on the lci's are completely different shape so I would say 99% they won't fit unless you get creative.

That looks awesome. Wonder which vendor on this forum sells it? What exhaust you have there?

I believe the fronts are different.

rear bumper is the same (same part number), so there shouldn't be any difference

Unfortunately the car on that pic isn't mine. It's 3d design demo car, I think they got arqray quad exhaust installed.

that is a nice replica. The main difference is that the original 3d diffuser consist of 2 pieces and doesn't use mesh grill.

Thanks for heads-up. It seems there's not a lot of options for M-spec diffuser for the LCI.

My bad, I didn't see the car spec

I unconsciously showed the non-335 diffuser because 335i isn't offered here

Where are 3D Design North America.

Looks like all the information has been given about our rear diffuser, glad someone caught the 335i difference!

We also offer a front lip spoiler for E90/91 LCI M-tech


Versus the non-lci version


Any other questions, PM/call or just post up on this thread and I will answer as best I can.
