Hamann is still the most legit one in my book, after the BMWP ones of course (since it's OEM).

i like the 3D design lip because its urethane, so its not gonna crack like a CF or fiberglass front lip
IMO, if your car is a DD, CF lips are a no go. only reason i didnt get the iCarbon |

its not bad, but basically why try to cover up the msport one like 70% of the way (you still have those ugly black things sans fog lights) when you can just do it right and get the performance bumper?
I know the vfiber has a bigger lip on the bottom but it's not that much different and I'd rather have a gloss black or CF bottom piece anyway. Vfiber BMW Perf |

I personally don't like anything I have to glue or put adhesive on which alot of the lips need too aka icarbon..
I am not sure about 3D.... the splitters someone mentioned with no middle I read slowly fall off during a hot day.. just imagine that. The Kerscher is bolted on.. the full BMW perf bumper is a no brainer.. I've never seen the Vfiber being sold anywhere.. any more information on that one? |

Oh I was referring to the adhesive... not the actual parts.. there was a post on this somewhere about the splitters that were attached to the bumper with adhesive and it started coming off or something..

Tennistodd, that is a beautiful car. the splitters look legit I like those or the exoticstuning i just have to find out if the exotics bolt on before I make my decision.
What do you use to get rid of the amber markers on the headlights?

Sorry but those splitters look "tacked-on" to make the bumper look cool...would have been better with an entire lip...IMO....The performance bumper at least looks like it was made for the car which, of course, it was. As seen in the Tii concept vehicle made before the 1 series coupe was ever released. IMG_0429 by Adrean8j, on Flickr IMG_0426 by Adrean8j, on Flickr |

I respectfully disagree that they look tacked on. If installed properly and lined up before bolting them on, they sit perfectly against all the body lines of the front bumper. And the one benfit splitters have over a full lip is if you break one, you can replace it. Whereas with a full lip, if you crack it, you replace the whole damn thing. I learned that the hard way on my EVO. This is the second cf lip on the car...and both were NOT cheap.
To each his own though.

Yeah definitely....we are both a bit biased though
What I meant by tacked-on is that the design of the bumper doesn't look like it was made with the splitters in mind...whereas the perf. bumper was..I mean you can tell they were added on after the fact IMO.... |

Tennis Todd, thanks for the info. Either one will do if they both bolt on because I'm going to have them painted jet black anyway.
I'm not a fan of the performance bumper at all. Takes away from the M look. That's just my opinion, it's not meant to offend anyone. Adrean your rims are sick! What kind and size are they?
