Is this the new revision pod, or the original that was slightly off?

Yup this is the newer revision. I fixed a meshing issue so the pod itself is smooth all around and doesn't have those rough lines going through it. The pod is also angled up and towards the driver (though I still think it could be tilted towards the driver a bit more). The vent grates were also made thicker to closer match the original OEM vent. Also changed the bottom tabs a bit to make installation a little easier

Ah yes, the angle IS better & curvature of base is much better & fits in cavity as the OEM now with no gap

Sorry it got taken down a while back because it had BMW in the title and I never got around to fixing that. It should be back up now.

Yes, the original vent is the same across all the E90, E91 and E92.

Not exactly what you're looking for but this worked for me with some modification. ID is 51.5mm.

How did you get it to stick, some type of adhesive?

It comes with very thin double-sided tape. It's really strong.
