Oh no, I slide off the whole rear exhaust and installed the 545 with two mufflers. What I mean is that the most visible difference are the tips.

Soon I will post some pics of my old 525i Touring in Titansilver with the cf diffuser. I just have to find on which computer are stored.

 

Excellent!

Please share some details about the diffuser on the E61; is it simply repainted, or is there something else I am missing?

I really like this mod!!

 

It is a genuine rear carbon fiber diffuser from BMW that costs about ?500. And what I like most is that very little cars have it. The only one I know is my previous 525i T that at present is driven by a friend of mine.

 

Do you have a part number to share?

 

Marco - you have received many compliments on your car - but I have to add mine. I have a 2007 M5 in Silver Grey. Its has every option and looks great, though I have not modded it at all. But, your car looks better. Much better. I really think that this is one of the best looking BMWs that I have ever seen - of any type.

The lease on my M5 is up and I am considering a 535xit. But, seeing your car (and a few of the other Euro wagons here) just depresses me. There is no way to get our wagons to look like yours given the Xdrive offset and the ride height. I have trawled all the threads on xi wheel options and H&R springs - but it is all too hard, not without problems.

What a pity I cannot just swap mine for an M5 touring over here. Anyway congrats - your car is bellisima!

 

I could not have said it any better. I completely agree!

 

Thank you very much indeed to all of you.

The part number of the cf diffuser is 51 12 0 404 935.

 

I agree completely with you it is a really pity that BMW NA is not importing the M5 Touring as it is beautiful. I had the chance to drive it few times and it is fantastic but too thirsty for daily use. I am actually a bit envious about your M5 and about the fact that in the US you can get the 535i engine that have much more torque than the 530i. Let's hope it will be introduced in Europe with the F10 series.
Ciao
Marco

 

Thank you Marco. Since I realize that this is a rare option, I will cover it with tape if I am ever driving in Italy.

And if you find the picture of your 525iT, please post it.

That said, seeing pictures of your E61 is going to get expensive for me!

 

No need to cover the diffuse, unfortunately you can not take it away without having demounted the bumper first. I tried to still one but no luck so on the and I decided to buy it.
