If i hadn't made the M5 rear conversion, i would consider this kit. It is also a great mod for those that want to keep the trailer hitch. I would only paint the lower part of the diffuser in black.
into somethig like this:
It is wierd how a company like G-Power made a bad exhaust solution for the right pipe. Not happen with the sedan, but the tourings with self-levelling suspension have the air compressor in that place - between the spare tire and battery cover. Therefore the solution made by G-Power is a tiny lower pipe. If you look it better it seems a bit odd... My solution was to place the air compressor behind the rear bumper carrier to free that space for a 3" pipe. A lot more work but IMO, a cleaner job.

I'm not feeling it, I like the reiger diffuser better
IMHO, the reiger diffuser is a waste of $400. It transforms the M-Tech bumper into a cheap version of the real M5 bumper, and for a bit more you can buy the real one.

But yeah I definitely like the real M5 bumper better..And actually the M5 bumper is I think almost twice as much now that prices for BMW parts went up.
The Gpower one is a lot cleaner OEM type look
