Default Dual diffuser for e60 (not quad)

I have been trying to find an e60 diffuser that is set up for dual tips like the 335 has. I have been unable to find anyone who makes a diffuser like this, and all of my searches only return info about quad set ups. It doesn't seem like many people are interested in a dual set up.

Here is the only picture I could find, and its of a Lumma widebody m5.

Anybody know of a company who makes one?

Why would you want to do that and not do quad tips?

Quad tips look perfect on this car,

and dual tips look pretty bad actually.

While I agree quad tips look good on our e60s, I think it looks best on an m5, which my car is not. Some 4" dual tips on a good looking diffuser would be fresh.

Bimmian does have very slow shipping.. The link I gave you was for a carbon fiber diffuser that normally sells for $300 +, but due to some blemishes I think they are selling for under $100. I was going to pick it up, but opted not to, due to more expenses going that route.

They actually have quite a few items for the E60 at a discounted rate in the Special Clearance. Should check it out.

Scratch that, found it. Bought it. For that price and if it really only needs some scuffs and stuff buffed out, I'll take my chances. I planned on buying a FRP one to paint body color anyhow.This works! Nice find, thanks for sharing with the forum!

My thought exactly, for that price you can't go wrong. Hope it works out for you.

Email update. It shipped already! So far good gamble since I was worried about their slow shipping reviews.
