I was more curious about what the OP was talking about since he was talking about adding a front lip and then added your stock car.

I don't have a lip on either at the moment, but I think it looks quite nice. But it is way to low to be practical where I live.

I think the blue car looks more aggressive, so if you have lowered your car and nice new wheels I prefer that look. For an otherwise stock car I prefer it without a lip.

That is a splitter on each side on an OEM M-sport front bumper. Fits the F30 too, not just the F31.

I think it is the most hated item from AC Schnitzer of all time.
Different people like different products though, I don't think they would continue producing it if it didn't sell well.

The red one have no lip, it has an complete M-sport bumper. Comes with the M-package or is sold as a stand alone.

Yes, BMW has the bumper and your nearest AC/S dealer can help you with the other part(s).

But a complete bumper won't be cheap.
