Don't mean to hj this thread, but I just ordered my Mtech kit last week, and found out that there's also a BMW Performance Aero kit. Which requires different brake and engine air ducts for the install.

This was told to me by Even @ MileOne

Does anybody have a pic of this BMW Performance Aero Kit? How come I've never heard of anyone that has this??

Does anyone know if an M-tech diffuser or comparable aftermarket diffuser for an M-tech rear bumper will fit an aero rear bumper?

it will not fit. M-tech rear diffuser is more narrow than the aero rear.

Tischer, that is where I go my mtech rear and side skirts from. I had to wait 2 weeks for the PDC version of the bumper since they had to get it from Germany.

Send a PM to John at EuroRev. They were working some kinks with pricing, etc but he answered my PMs pretty quick:

I bought a complete M-Tech kit from MW Design at a decent price.

Excellent customer service and good packaging of complete kit, nuts and bolts and all.
Email Lewis and I guarantee fast response to your questions.
