Preview from RKP: the M2 diffuser!
The new M2 is truly an enthusiast’s dream- a car so stripped down to the essentials from the factory, many didn’t believe BMW could design, build, and sell it in the 21st century. IND’s staff, our partners in the industry, and our clients could all very clearly see the potential of the M2, and partner businesses like RKP wasted no time in putting pen to paper to develop parts. RKP’s first entry for the M2 is a modified rear diffuser. BMW Performance’s own piece is essentially a carbon fiber reproduction of the factory plastic unit with very small fins added which to many appear as almost an afterthought. RKP takes a similar design but modifies it for a more purposeful look by widening the exhaust tip openings and increasing the size of the fins for a more dramatic visual presence. As with all RKP components, the M2 diffuser is constructed from pure hand laid Carbon Fiber, with no FRP packing or additional filler materials. The RKP diffuser was specifically designed to match the RKP front lip, RKP trunk spoiler, and one additional surprise piece to create a complete and cohesive visual package. Please enjoy the photos, and stay tuned for a full presentation of RKP components for the M2!

Nice. But a front lip would really blow my skirt up.

Do these things really improve performance or are they just for style points?

PLEASE, PLEASE have a version in FRP or similar material. I had to mortgage my house replacing the ones on my M5.

Are you hoping to match or beat the pricing on the M Perf diffuser?

It definitely needs to come in cheaper than the cheapest pricing found for the OEM diffuser (not MSRP for it)
Maybe offer a RKP cosmetic package for the M2 with all the pieces in the same manner as your IND cosmetic package. Any word on offering it in 1x1 weave?? |
