Is this BMW M2 diffuser purely for looks, or does it add performance?

It's a styling accessory. Akrapovic designed this chopped carbon fiber diffuser to personalize the rear fascia and frame the tailpipes of its Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust, but it doesn't add horsepower, torque, or aerodynamic downforce figures on its own. It's a fit and finish upgrade, not a performance part.

Is this Akrapovic M2 diffuser street legal?

Yes. It carries ABE type approval, meaning it's compliant with German Type Approval under paragraph 20 of the StVZO. Akrapovic notes that compliance labels are only valid when the product is installed according to the included instructions, so follow those closely and check your local regulations before fitting it.

What's the difference between the Matte and High Gloss versions of this diffuser?

They're the same hand-crafted chopped carbon fiber diffuser, differing only in surface finish. This SKU, DI-BM/CA/10/CF, is the Matte finish; Akrapovic also offers a High Gloss version under a separate part number, DI-BM/CA/10/G, for owners who prefer a shinier carbon weave.

Do I need the Akrapovic Slip-On Line exhaust to install this diffuser?

No. This diffuser bolts to the M2's rear fascia independently of your exhaust choice, so it will fit whether you're running the factory system or an aftermarket one. Akrapovic designed it to complement the tailpipes of its own Slip-On Line (Titanium) system, but it isn't required to install or use.

How is this Akrapovic diffuser made?

It's a lightweight, hand-crafted chopped carbon fiber component produced in-house by Akrapovic's own technicians rather than outsourced. Chopped carbon fiber construction gives each piece a distinctive, randomized weave pattern, and the matte finish here is left unlacquered for a more understated look than the High Gloss alternative.

Does this diffuser fit both the standard M2 Coupe and the OPF/GPF-equipped version?

Akrapovic lists this diffuser for the BMW M2 Coupe (G87) across both the standard and OPF/GPF emissions variants, since the rear fascia and mounting points are shared between them. Confirm your exact model year against Akrapovic's fitment chart before ordering to be certain.

Description

Akrapovic Rear Chopped Carbon Fiber Diffuser for G87 BMW M2

This Akrapovic M2 Carbon Fiber Diffuser gives the BMW M2 Coupe’s rear fascia a more purposeful look, hand-crafted from chopped carbon fiber to frame the tailpipes of Akrapovic’s own Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust at their best. Akrapovic builds this diffuser in-house rather than outsourcing it, using the same skilled technicians behind its motorsport-proven exhaust systems, and backs it with ABE type approval so it’s a legitimate road-legal upgrade rather than a track-only piece. It’s a finishing touch for owners who want their M2 to look as considered from the rear as their exhaust sounds.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
