Hey all, I meant where can I get JUST the lip. Not the little aileron looking things that aren't painted. What BUTTM4N has, essentially.

Makes sense. I have messaged the seller on ebay, but i think getting it painted locally would be easier.

I notice the car in your image (yours?) also has the side skirt extensions.
Where are these from as i seem to only be able to find the M performance ones (with the horrible stickers) or carbon ones, which are a lot of money for something I would just paint black anyway.

Cheers for your help, Ive only had the car 32 hours!!

but imo its worth it. It looks good and makes your car stand out, and when you do scrape you'll be scraping the lip instead of the bottom of your bumper.
I want those wheels! What are they?

I had a front lip splitter on my 335i m sport with H&R SS and Bilstein B8s, but since i live San Diego with terrible roads my splitter only lasted for about 3 weeks before a steep driveway tore it off Looks great, but scrapes on everything. At least i bought it on Ebay and didnt spend the money on OEM haha.

I've never been so torn on deciding whether or not to purchase a purely aesthetic car part. It does look f'ing awesome--added with the rear diffuser really gives the car a much more aggressive appearance as others have said. My 340 will be here in another month. Like a dumbass I've already purchased the rear diffuser so I guess I need to get the spiltter now to complete the look. I just have a terrible driveway so going to have to be really really careful. My STI has a ~7.5in clearance now, and it sounds like most 340s w/ splitters that have not been lowered around skirting right under the 5" mark. That could be trouble, but damn it does look good. I'm just hoping it can take a bit of a beating....

Hey for those that ordered or bought their BMWs with splitters, how much did the dealer charge you for the part/port install? I'm thinking of adding the M performance splitter to my order but it's an extra $875. I know I can order the OEM splitter on eBay for about $450 but then I have to worry with installation. Can't do this one myself like I plan to for the diffuser. Just interested to see what you all paid for those that got the OEM, thanks!

I believe it was 1000 bucks to paint match. It was put into the lease. Holy shit was that expensive looking back on it

Yes you will scrape but it's just the lip. It's not you bumper and Nobody will ever see it. With the change of appearance, it's all worth it. You'll learn how to drive with a lip real soon lol

Can anyone recommend a front splitter for a 340i. Does the splitter for an F30 335i fit?

I was a bee's dick away from putting down a deposit for a 340i with the full M performance package on the showroom floor of my local dealer.. pulled away from it the last minute as I'm sure my steep driveway will rip the front apart in no time. Got a tamer 330 with m sport instead.

Forward a month on.. I have to say every time I see a sweet looking CF front splitter on the road, it sends a tingle down.. should have just gone for it.
