It depends on the style of splitter that you want, but the eBay m performance ones seem to be vary hit and miss.

I ended up getting the gloss black Rieger front splitter perfect fit and much nicer look.

Varis style front splitter is also a really nice option.

Thanks both for the comments. I really like the Reiger style. Do you have links to where it was purchased. I've seen an "official" Reiger dealer on ebay selling one for around £190.00

I got this one
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273975920...kAAOSwMXldXrdy

Saw it on a fellow members car and liked the look.
Useful thing about this one is the splitter is separate from the rest of the parts so you can decide just to fit that bit or with the "uprights" as is or have them painted then fit after. Just fits on with tape.

Look at my pictures and you'll get the idea.

I went matt black to match the rear diffuser, if you use wax car polish on matt it goes satin (though the genuine BMW diffuser looks more shiny satin that this).
Overall I'm very happy with the look for £75 and am waiting for "she who must be obeyed" to decide if she wants the other bits black, painted or not on at all. The under splitter bit that they include will not be getting fitted, a bit too chavy for my liking

I got mine from the U.K. Rieger dealer on-line auto sport on eBay, and would 100% recommend them. Fit is perfect and with the design I feel it gives a little extra clearance in the centre.

Looks so nice in gloss black aswell.

Decided on the m sport style front lip in gloss black. Didn't put the top pieces on that go over the bottom corners, wanted to keep it a bit understated on the front but at the same time giving it that drop.

So long as you don't mind stone chips on them parts, they are a magnet for fine chips.
