Gauging interest on 3-Piece CF Rear Diffuser

Making this thread just to see how many people would be interested in a 3-Piece CF diffuser for the X5M.

Planning one having one made by a friend of mine who made the whole aero kit on my old M6.

Check out his website to see more of his work. If enough people are interested I can most likely get a pretty good deal on a group buy.
https://www.dinmann.com/

Heres a pic of my old M6, kinda hard to see the diffuser but if you look closely you can see the diffuser wraps around the whole bumper. He also did my trunk, side skirts, front lip, etc. The guy is a magician with this stuff.

Lets see how many people would potentially be interested. I'll update once I find out what the price point will look like.

I spoke with him about it at Bimmerfest, but he said the only way it would make financial sense to make us a diffuser is if we had at least 10+ guys interested. Apparently it's a long expensive process to form the mold for the carbon fiber, so this likely won't happen unless we get a bunch of people onboard

it depends on the price, what will be the price for 10+ people and how long would it take? there is a big difference between 4 weeks and 6 months wait.
Let us know!

Although I'm pleased with what I currently have, I might prefer something slightly more aggressive.
Maybe simply create deeper and more apparent fins? Extending to the edges of rear fenders might a bit much, but I will reserve my opinion until I see an actual mock up on one of our vehicles.

The idea of a group buy will ultimately depend the acceptance (by at least 10 people) as being cohesive and tasteful + it should fall within a reasonable price point.

If it were a group buy of 10+ people the price would be very reasonable. I don't want to throw out a number until I hear it from him. When he made my aero kit for my old m6 it took about 2 months... I've been to his warehouse many times and its a long tedious process. All of his carbon pieces are made from the highest grade carbon weave rolls you can buy and he stacks 7 layers it onto a diffuser, lip, skirts, etc.

Visit his website so you have an idea of what his products look like. Everything is very tastefully done with slightly longer fins. I still haven't bought a Vorsteiner diffuser because I think its agressiveness on a scale of 1-10 is about a 2 and I refuse to pay $1,600 for that. This diffuser would consist higher quality carbon and longer fins.

If all of you guys are genuinely interested we can probably make this happen. He just texted me and said he'd make side skirts and maybe lip as well

Need to know the financials. The current selection is ridiculously overpriced. Consider me interested if front AND back can be had for the cost of front or back currently.
