CSL Diffuser options

[Epoustouflant]

Look at that paint line though. I thought my happybuyitnow167 was bad.

Angle - it has no ridge.

idk why but anything other than a CSL style diffuser on the E46 M3 seems sacrilegious to me. I would be curious to see what the phinned diffuser looks like from a far though

Please get me updated for that, I'm looking to get one from them. Been searching for a long long time

It appears they don't paint them anymore. Besides the paint line happybuyitnow seems to be the best bang for your buck with decent fitment.
I planned on repainting one anyways so it doesn't matter to me.

Are they the same as happybuyitnow168?

Yes

[RoyalFlushness]

Yes

Still pretty expensive and need to have it painted now as well but it is what it is. I just bought one. Says there is only one left in stock so somebody should jump on it asap.

Happybuyitnow167, painted, at $265 shipped was a good deal and appropriate for the 8/10 fit/finish. Not $400+ plus paint.

Doesn't Euroconnex have a better piece, painted, at like $500?

Even though I bought my VCSL GST3 diffuser new from Vorsteiner, I think I paid close to 8-900 bucks for it.

Which is ridiculous but now I'm kicking myself for not getting a used one last year when I had the chance.

These options suck lol

i'm surprised Karbonius hasn't created one yet. I'm sure the market for diffusers are far greater than the vented fenders they just released.

Euroconnex is $699 painted + shipping. I will be in on the ebay piece at probably $600 when its all said and done but at least I can trust my painter to get the tape lines the way I want and use Glasurit paint to match the rest of my car for whatever that is worth.

Rene (the euroconnex one) sells the csl diffuser for 500 euro plus shipping which is around $570 plus $50 shipping for painted.

You can get it unpainted for 470 euro ($530) plus 50 shipping and have your painter paint it better.

I got total include shipping for 779 painted from euroconnex, where you see that price from?

Just got the Burkhart Engineering diffuser. It showed up 1 week after placing the order. I didn't have to pay duty/import taxes, which seems odd, but I'm not complaining.

Quality seems good, can't speak to the fitment yet. There aren't any visible imperfections as far as I can see.

It's going to the paint shop this week along with the rest of the car. Because my whole car is being painted, getting the diffuser painted wasn't a factor for me.

Here's a few shots.

I just removed an aftermarket diffuser so I could reinstall OEM. I am told by the previous owner it was from ECS Tuning. The piece fit fairly well along the edges, but was somewhat loose on one corner due to some slack remaining in the flexible metal 'clip'. So I suspect a variety of pliers and pry bars might be in order to get an optimal bend in those clips.
