I'm interested in the rear diffuser as the one I have recently bought doesn't fit well.
Is it a good fit and would you consider shipping to the UK? (If shipping is no option I would be interested to know where you bought it from?)

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
No, there are Pre-LCI 550's as well, the 2006-07 models were 550's and Pre-LCI. The LCI model years are 2008-2010 for our cars. Yes, the 535 did not arrive until LCI models (along with the 528) - before 2008 the models were 525,530, 545 (2004-2005), 550 (2006-2010). Also, there was an engine change in the 2006-2007 525 and 530, they went from the venerable M54 to the N52 non-turbo motors.

Ok cool.. I was curious because the mirrors in the pictures don't look like what I think of as 2006+ M5 mirrors..so figured it must be a 2005 and back thing or the mirrors for sale just aren't pictured. I know there's also different fitment issues depending on when in 2006 the M5 mirrors were made too but thought they still looked the same (typically rounded with black bottom).
