- I have installed this rear diffuser on the 2014 f32 435i that I got from e-bay, not an easy fit, but totally improved the look of the car and the msport rear bumper looks a little bit more m performancy; I think later I will try to install performance tips, side and front trims as well to improve the exterior mods. I have also Ceramic coated the trim before install (thank you @normalguysupercar ). I recorded this video in November 2020 and I was hoping I could post the retrofit of the PMA, however once again we are waiting for parts that are somewhere in the post office limbo. Enjoy my misadventures and frustrations.

Thanks for the shout out! Nice upgrade.
You are welcome, I was so hopeful to win that armour shield IX when you were giving it away.... 😂
Thanks for the walkthrough! Appreciate it 🙏🏾
Awesome install video, thanks!
I don't know how hard it was for you to set it up ...definitely worth it ...much better looks definitely...you're doing great
Lol... it was like putting a square into a circle shaped hole.. luckily I was inspired and was not ready to give up. Thank you!
Hi I am having the same problem cam you let me know, what you did to make it fit. I need to make it work is more expensive for me to send it back.
Hi @@miltonmatosreyes, I tried 2 things, on the right side that it was just a matter of positioning and a little bit of force, I used a little bit of grease and that was it. On the left side that the "guides wouldn't follow the bumper lines, I got a heat gun and made the plastic really hot and easy to bend (not to the point of distorting the part) and when it was hot enough I just pressed in. It was a fight... I am sad I couldn't film all that but my battery ran out :(... I hope it helps
look great and yes red will be better in glossy black ;)
👍🏾
Lol youre pretty likeable. Keep makin videos.
Thank you! We will try to do our best ;)
Hello, I congratulate you for your work, I will be glad if you help with something. I have a 2014 model BMW f30 vehicle I have installed 2 cameras in my vehicle, but it gives a calibration error, but the high-beam assistant comes on, lane tracking enters but does not read the speed signs, it does not reflect on the screen, so I think it gives the caliber error, what should I do. thank you in advance
Hi Arslan, we like that you like. When you say that you have a calibration error is when you run the calibration procedure and drive around? Or do you have this on your idrive as a warning message?? Also did you inject the FSC codes for the KAFAS module?
@@DorksandBolts
hi wandering it is not calibrated. I have no one here who did not ekleyın I am writing to you from turkey FSC codes, unfortunately you will have the chance to help me do I really need help
@@arslanksack2597 ok, so there are a few things that you need to check. 1) does turkey allow speed signs to be read by other BWM with the option from factory. If yes then 2) you can go to a windshield repair shop and ask them to calibrate the camera after windshield replacement, if nobody does that, then you need to find ISTA+ to do it yourself 3) if after doing all that and the symbol on your cluster still looks like - - - instead of giving you a red circle with a white background, then you need the FCS codes. If you message me troughs facebook, I can help you order these codes directly from BMW.
How did you get it to fit? I'm battling with one at the moment from ebay that seems at least 5mm too narrow.
The winning ticket for me was to heat the plastic with a heat gun and sort of mold it in
@@DorksandBolts i wondered if that might work. Mine fits now after being left out in the hot sun.
Yeap that’s a good choice as well! How do you like it??
Great video 👍🏼. I'd turn the music down though or remove it completely when you are talking 👍🏼
Thank you Jonny, yeah we are still learning the art of doing videos. But yeah I think we improved after that one when it comes between the music and our dialog ;)
do you have a link for the ebay listing?
Sure do… I don’t know if it’s still the same quality or they have improved… I did this a while ago. www.ebay.com/itm/362802516600?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=EDpz9p7kT6K&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=r1ZRwJcgR8K&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
did you end up taking the bumper off to fit it?
No at the end, a little heat with a heat gun and a lot of forced convincing got the job done
I got one from eBay it can assemble and took 10mins. To install
I got this one from eBay too, and as I said it can be hit or miss... definitely I got the one with gosling issues. Still it worked well and I am happy with it. how do you like yours?
I think that was for a coupe not 4 door
What do you mean?
F32/f36 (4 door 4 series) uses the same diffuser.
Yeah they are the same
