Thanks for the responses.

Looks like the Vorsteiner and ACS require cutting of the rear diffuser so that will do the trick.

The seibon may work but im not sure about the quality. They seem to make some ok csl trunks for the m3.


Looks like im going to use it as an excuse to get a cf diffuser

I don't believe the Vorsteiner requires cutting of the rear spoiler. It just slips on the factory piece like a cover. I don't think the ACS one requires cutting either.

And I didn't know Seibon makes a rear diffuser. Do you have a pic? I don't see it on their website.

Good luck Traderhal!

You are correct Tony, the vorsteiner as well as the acs both are add on pieces and does not require cutting

Nice find. Looks like they have two styles. The one pictured above looks similar to the ACS and the one on that link looks like the Hamann. I'm wondering if they're just exact replicas.

looks like a cheap replica or something, its not on the seibon website. plus $855 for a seibon item is way over priced. i bought my seibon hood for almost half the price shipped.
