Rare rear valance??
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3342545264
I’m still debating about having a twin exit system, whilst trawling eBay I came across this.
Did BMW produce a sportier rear valance with a 35iS style diffuser for the 4 pot turbo cars??

Soooooo.....I have a confession
...will get some better pix up when Weather not torrential here in Edinburgh. So yeh, a very rare rear valance which was only produced between March and April 2010 then scrapped. So very unique. I just had to snap it up.
SteveSmith - is bloody wicked and is a much better fit round the exhaust pipes
Andybmwheels - thank you for the inspiration

That is a DISTINCT improvement for the back of the E89!
Toughens it up a bit.

Actually the diffuser at the bottom is part number 51122158799 and was widely available from 1/2008-8/2016 according Real OEM.
So you can simply add this to any M sport bumper..18 20 23 28 30 35
It MAYBE that the 2.3 M Sport bumper has a different part number to the 18i 20i 28i which accounts for a 'tighter'fit?

Actually the 23 and 18/20/28 all have the same part number for the piece around the tailpipes...so all you need is any MSPORT bumper and the rear diffuser plus a few clips and screws..

No it’s a different rear valance. The exhaust outlet has a lip around it and it has a cut out in the middle for the diffuser piece.

Pbonder - No this is part number 51122159194 which is different and is the only one made to fit a one-sided, passenger side, double tail piped, single back-box exhaust. It was only produced between March and April 2010 before BMW decided that they would only produce it for the 35i to distigush it from lesser models. Anything under the 35i gets the colour coded valance without the diffuser or just the grey valance on older models. Which makes my valance very rare and unique indeed. The link you supplied, links to the 35i valance and diffuser.
I have Steve to thank for finding this gem and Mr wilks for the inspiration. Its not a patch on Mr Wilk's 35i's perfect form by any means but seen as he's sold his 35i I didn't think he'd mind
New tips on the way for mine....and toying with the Idea of debadging also.
