OEM m performance rear diffuser

[NYC_X5]

Hey guys, does anyone know if it’s possible to purchase just the bracket for the oem m performance rear diffuser? Or is it at all possible to install it without the bracket?

Thanks in advance

Anyone? I'm in the same boat with an aftermarket diffuser but no bracket, simply a very thin edge to put the betalink against.

Or an alternative to beta link that will hold the diffuser but can be removed if needed.

If you don't want to use betalink, 3M VHB tape works very well, especially if used with their adhesion promoter. Heat and pressure are your friends when using the tape. Both are needed for a strong bond.

Sorry, I don't have any info on the bracket. Many people have tried to source the brackets for the front splitter with very little success.

Believe it or not, the BMW dealer where I had mine installed used windshield adhesive on it and the front splitter. No issues for about 1 1/2 years.

Thanks for info. That adhesion promoter will definitely come in use when I reinstall the roof spoiler.

I was looking to go this 3m route but there’s not enough flat surface on the edge of the diffuser to mount the tape. If I don’t find the bracket, I can always add a layer of epoxy to build an edge. Just don’t want to hodge podge the whole thing.

Thanks. That’s what a local shop said they use to install/fix exterior moldings/accessories.
