ECS Exclusive Proudly Offered at Turner Motorsport!

Add-on diffuser to deliver a true motorsport look to your M3. Fastened seamlessly to the bottom of the rear bumper giving a platform to show off your exhaust and complete the rear end of the E46.

The E46 M3 is an amazing looking car right out of the box but a common BMW issue is the height of the front vs rear bumpers. As far back as the E30, the front bumper is much lower than the rear bumper and the E46 M3 faces the same issue. With this problem the front bumper is always super low to the ground and the rear bumper looks in-complete. The ECS add-on diffuser is a unique option for balancing out the rear bumper with the height of the front bumper for a full and complete look.

Give your M3 that wild style that stands out from the crowd, and obtain a nice balanced look. This is just the start of a new line of Street Flow Diffusers diffusers that are a must have extension of your awesome ride. The diffusers come powder coated in a sleek satin-black finish, are a blast to install and fit seamlessly against the rear bumper for a professional looking install every time. The Street Flow diffuser attaches below your factory rear diffuser and exhaust of your choosing to fill out the rear end for a nice full and aggressive styling profile.

Lets take a trip together down a new and unique path. Over the years ECS has designed factory replacement ABS and Carbon Fiber diffusers for all different models of BMW's. For the factory replacements ECS focus was to take the oem characteristics and add a twist and really bring out a more aggressive look with a direct replacement diffuser. For their new line of diffusers, us as car enthusiasts wanted to design a set of diffusers that really pushed the envelope and stepped outside of our comfort zone. Our new line of add-on diffusers is a result of our engineering team and fellow enthusiasts spending time study the M3 chassis, modeling different designs, testing prototypes and making changes to get a final product that we are extremely excited to offer. The E46 M3 Street Flow Diffuser is the first in our line of new diffusers. Stay tuned for the E36 M3 and the E92 M3 diffusers next!

Features:

Adds an aggressive aesthetic in addition to the subtle factory rear diffuser
Lightweight and durable 10ga aluminum in satin black powder coat to blend with the factory trim color
Installation is secure and simple with ample adjustability built in for perfect fitment
Design:

10 ga 5052 aluminum construction
Black satin powder coat for long term corrosion resistance
5 piece design to simplify installation
Slotted mounting locations to allow for mounting adjustment
Laser cut ECS logo pre powder coat for a smooth finish
Hidden hardware for better aesthetic

This CSL inspired trunk lid for 1999-2006 E46 3 series Convertibles and saves precious weight over the heavy steel stock BMW trunk lid. It also looks great, especially if you are into the naked carbon fiber look. This particular trunk lid's styling has a slightly swept up rear edge, reminiscent of the E46 M3 CSL -- which also had a carbon fiber trunk lid with an integral "spoiler" edge built into it. 

We were pleasantly surprised by the fit and finish of this trunk lid, particularly at this price. The trunk lid fits as good as any other carbon fiber lid we've come across. Some modifications and provisions need to be made to fit all trunk auxiliary components, such as lighting, trunk latch, hood shocks, emblems and interior trunk trim -- which is why we highly recommend professional installation on these (even if you're not having it painted). As with any carbon fiber or fiberglass body panel, extra time and preparation will be required to ensure the best fitment and installation. While no aftermarket body panels fit as perfectly as original OEM BMW panels, we were very satisfied with the overall quality and fit of these trunk lids. If you are mounting it unpainted to keep the carbon fiber visble, this trunk lid already comes with a clear gelcoat finish so that it is already exactly how you'd want it. 

Professional installation highly recommended. 

This carbon fiber trunk lid fits the following BMWs:  
1999-2006  E46 BMW   Convertibles 323Ci 325Ci 328Ci 330Ci

The ECS tow shaft & camera mount kit is perfect for capturing the action in an aggressively entertaining view. ECS designed and engineering makes this a top quality product brought to you by fellow enthusiasts who understand the desire of these features.

The best part is, by utilizing the factory tow hook mounting location it puts the action firmly right where you want it for the absolute best footage.

*This can be used by itself in this kit or as an add on accessory to the rest of the ECS tow hook mounted product line.

Now your license plate bracket can double as a mount for your Go-Pro or similar camera system. Or a tow hook with the camera for track use. Running one or multiple combinations is easy since each piece is mounted to the existing tow hook receptacle behind the bumper. No modification is required! Each piece threads into the tow hook for easy install and removal. Metric Allen keys are included. ECS engineers were unimpressed with other plate and holder materials on the market so all pieces in their kit are made from stainless steel or 4140 alloy steel with a tough resilient coating (aluminum and plain sheet metal were found to deform after repeated use). Simulations show this plate mount to withstand speeds of up to 150mph!
