My Ride: BMW E60 530i , Silver with leather Air Con iDrive 17" Breyton Rims with Dunlop Sp Sport tyres (M-Tech Bodykit and rims WANTED) Alfa Romeo 147 TS1.6 , Black with Air Con 17" Multi Spoke alloys with Bridgestone RE040 tyres Toyota MR-S 1.8 VVTI , Lagoon Blue with Red leather Air Con 15" standard alloys with Toyo tyres Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI, Lagoon Blue, Air Con, 16" Standard alloys with Kuhmo KU31, EBC Green Stuff

Since my car got hitted by a honda Jazz (Gutted) 2months ago, i am thinking to get a new rear diffuser for my m-tec 530i

Does anyone knows is this a Hamann? and where i can buy it from?
Had looked at Hamann website and seems they discontinued selling it

That's not a Hamann diffuser. It looks more like an ACS or a 3D Design diffuser. Probably 3D because I don't remember the fins on the ACS being that pronounced as I used to have one on my 545.

No it's not ACS on the 1st pic as ECF said if you look at carefully the edges are different between them as ACS has more soft edges.
ACS has no 'lip' around the tailo pipe opening.

O...thanks for pointing that out, so is it a 3D design then?

Yeah, the first pic is not ACS. If you look at the fins, the ones in the first pic is larger at the top and tapers down at the bottom whereas the ones on the ACS is reversed. Here are pics of the ACS diffuser on my old car.
