Rear diffuser recommendations?

[THE TECH]

I have a feeling we may never see them again.

I've been thinking about getting the Chinese H Type diffuser. Because for $220, you can't go wrong. Sure, there'll be fitment issues but I'm prepared to do some sanding to get things just right.

I'd love to see how it fits.

The two middle fins look like they're out of place.

I just can't imagine how any good company would basically go MIA for over a year with a number of their parts.

As mentioned previously, its a very difficult part to make. So we will not put it back out on the market until we have a supplier that can do it to our standards. We have tried many sources and even re-did tooling more than once to get it back out for you guys. Unfortunately suppliers have let us down on their ability to make it to our expectations. All of our other carbon, exhaust, suspension parts etc are good to go on shelves here and at dealers. The diffuser has been the only part that has been out of production. We still are actively trying to get it back out, so its not discontinued at this point, but we do instruct our dealers to not take any orders until we have it on the shelf again.

I'm confused by this! Aren't your challenge front lips still in production? Can't the supplier who makes that do the diffuser to your standards???

I want the Challenge Race or nothing else!!!!

[BeemerMeUp]

For those that have the Arkym aerosport diffuser with the stock exhaust, any issues with the carbon getting damaged/discolored?

I've seen plenty with the Akrapovic which seems to stick out further, but wondering if it would be an issue with the stock pipes.

thx.

Why would it be counter productive?

The top one is all looks .... no real aero benefit, the Varis one is a functioning piece.

[Vegas_Sirk]

Use E90 owners need more options .... all the E92s have several versions. Vorsteiner should make the new one for E90s as well

[Brucewonder]

the new Vorsteiner is just beautiful. I need to sell my Arkym and convince my wallet its worth upgrading to

Nice custom touch, looks really good. How is the fitment with that Arkym?

is there a big difference between this and the MODECARBON LM SERIES? look pretty close to the same.....

[M3-S65]

I just purchased a ARKYM diffuser. Easy install, perfect fitment. Bought from Nate at IND. Love it...

+1 on Arkym. I don't know about their other stuff, but the diffuser is one of the best fitting aftermarket part I've ever dealt with. Wish I could say the same about my rep splitters

[1M_@teewhybs]

Perfect fit.

+1 for the Challenge Race!

Also does anyone know what Trunk/Spoiler is on that M3 with the Vorsteiner GTS-V?

I'm guessing it's the Vorsteiner VRS Aero Boot Lid: http://vorsteiner.com/application/bm...-e92-e93-m3/#1
