I'm excited about doing some summer mods to my 530i. In addition to what ever rims i decide on getting whether it be style 166 or 167 I decided I want to go mtech front and back bumpers and switch to a quad exhaust setup. I've been actively searching for a good deal on a hamann diffuser because i really like the look. only to find out that that little piece of plastic is really expensive. So before I give up on that look i was wondering if I would be happy with a replica. Can anyone share there experience if they installed the replica hamann quad diffuser. I'd especially like to know about fitment and spacing, price, purchasing store. and how durable is it. I'd also like to know if it was a complete success or disaster. Ive been considering getting this one here but I couldn't find any buyer feedback for this particular item.

Hmmm... Well if I was after a Hamann replica diffuser, I would probably go with the link you provided. Why? Because it is made of PU plastic. As far as I know, PU plastic is quite flexible material, and even if the fitment wasn't 100%, it would be pretty easy to make fit properly. Especially, if you compare to a part made of fiberglass.
