I can verify with 100% certainty.

 

I've been trying to work out what adding the diffuser would do to its classing for SCCA autocross. At first I thought it might kick me all the way to SMF, but I'm not even sure about that. I can't find anything in the rules about adding a diffuser.

It might just put you in DSP if the GP is added to the list of DSP cars, then you can take advantage of backdating/updating to grab the diffuser. I'm not actually thinking of using Algy for autocross, we have Tristan for that, but I was wondering where it'd put him.

 

Yea buddy! I got my email stating my order was shipped out.

 

When did you place your order?.

 

...And from where did you order?

 

I placed my order on Feb 1st from Outmotoring.

 

Thought so, thanks! I ordered late on the 1st. So I'd hope I'll be getting one of those emails as well!

 

How did you place your order, enter all the part #'s separately?
Any mention of how long before it ships, or if it was in stock?

 

They emailed me today saying that it's backordered and they expect to have them shipped out in a week.

Thanks, guys.

Yeah, I entered each part number individually. Here are all the part numbers (provided by Scooter09) and their quantities in parentheses:

- Air duct, center (1) 51747330558
- Air duct, left (1) 51747330559
- Air duct, right (1) 51747330560
- Bracket, air duct, left (1) 51747370213
- Bracket, air duct, right (1) 51747370214
- Hex bolt with washer (6) 07147117693

I have a feeling it will be shipped from Germany. So one week for it to get in stock and another week for it get to the States.

 

 

Here's the email I received from thebmwpartstore this morning:

 

Yup, got my tracking number this am!! Thanks Aaron!

 

It's like winning the lottery when you get that email. I placed my order on the 7th of Feb, so guessing ill be waiting a bit longer, then it has the big adventure on the plane to Aus. Damn I wish that I placed it earlier now.

 

It'll be worth the wait I'm sure. If you ordered from Outmotoring it may be headed your way soon. Looks like they finally got more of the pieces they were waiting on.

Just a heads up but Outmotoring IS shipping these with the required fasteners as well.

 

Nice! Glad to hear they're including all the necessary pieces.

 

Awesome that the fasteners are there! I am hyped.

 

Mine shipped as well. Ordered on Feb 2nd

 

Good deal man! Depending how many right tunnel pieces came in they should have several complete sets to ship out now. I know of two other people that got their tracking numbers yesterday/today.

 

Sadly, I did not.

 

2 big boxes came this week

 

Did you order the diffuser from somewhere yet?

I just got confirmation that the parts matched up with my VIN.

 

I was going to order from outmotoring, with all the discounts they offer this month but the BMWpartstore website is cheaper, so I'm not in a big hurry right now.
Doing the $40 resonator delete on Thursday, then will order the diffuser next month.

 

Not sure if this has been mentioned but for those with underbody panels you'll notice the two holes at the rear of aluminum portion of the tunnels. When mounted it'll be obvious they mate up with the holes at the rear of the under panels. I used some U shaped speed nuts and body bolts to secure them together. Makes for a very rigid and smooth transition between the diffuser and under panels and should help minimize any "parachute effect" from high pressure air entering behind the diffuser.

 

I've actually been trying to find the time to do that and add it to the install thread. I have some fasteners I'm going to use that I got from the dealership. Hope to get to it this week.

 

Out of curiosity what kind of fasteners did they provide?
