Front Bumper & Front Lip Spoiler Choice?

I'm normally quite good at figuring all this stuff out myself...but been searching high and low across the internet and can't seem to find the right aftermarket front lip spoiler to fit this 128i.

I see other style front bumpers with lip options, but can't find any that seem to be specific to this front bumper.

Can someone please help set me straight on what kind of front bumper this is on mine? Just the standard 2012 bumper? Some sort of an LCI redesign for this year? Some sort of an M-Sport? I see the M-Sport seems to be similar in design but still different than this one...

Anyhow, I can't seem to find any lip spoilers that are clearly specific to my bumper. Anyone have a similar model and know of spoiler options, by chance?

Anyhow, thanks for any help you can provide. Cheers.

That is an oem bmw Motorsport front bumper. It is indeed different than the one that came on the 135 and 128 with the M Sport package. I don’t think that bumper came from the factory on any e8X

I believe that is the 2012 LCI base, non-M sport. Same as mine.
I have done a limited web search and have not found any lip for our bumper, past or present.

Thanks, that was what I was thinking it must be…some LCI redesign for that year. Clearly not an M sport. Looks like they sold with redesigned front and rear bumpers in 2011 (2012 model year).

Weird that there seem to be no lip options available for this…I guess they just didn’t sell enough of these in 2012-2013, to warrant aftermarket suppliers to make lips?

Disappointing. It could use a little more style in the front, to go with a rear spoiler…
