The search for a front lip spoiler for the 128i..

As all 128i owners know there's not much aftermarket options for our cars. One of my biggest things that I wanted to add was a front lip spoiler for our cars. And after much searching around on the internet I couldn't find one that fits our bumper. I purchased my car used but given the option of course I would have picked the m package. That being said I do like our bumpers but i wouldn't mind making it a little more aggressive without having to replace or purchase an aero kit.

Would you guy purchase a front spoiler given if it looks nice and the price is reasonable?

Thought about splitters but i think they look odd on our bumpers. I remember seeing someone posting pics not to long ago on the bumper and it just didn't mesh well.

If a lip was made to fit my '09 sport 128, I'd definitely buy it. Lol

I'm digging the front bumper also, but for $500, I'm guessing it's fiberglass?

Yeah I seen those ACS before but I always thought that they wouldn't fit our bumpers.





It looks like the the spoiler covers half of the the whole bumper.
Maybe fiberglass or composite but wouldn't doubt that it is possible abs either.
~500 not including shipping and paint, still kinda steep for me. I looks good though.

I think it'll fit. I may go this route as long as it will fit. Looks nice!
