I'll be honest, Im not really feeling them. BUT, I've always viewed cars with a front lip (or anything done to the front bumper) without aftermarket wheels as kinda goofy looking, no offense. I think these splitters might have a chance if they were a set of nice wheels to compliment the look.

I kinda felt the same way with my own car when I had the iCarbon lip on it.

Yeah, I honestly agree as well... I'm sort of modding my car in the opposite direction I should, if that makes sense. Usually suspension and wheels are one of the first things people do, and for me they are going to be just about last. I wanted to select a wheel that goes with the other things I've done, vs. buying wheels and then having to change them later, because they don't look right. I appreciate the honesty, but hopefully they will compliment the car more once I drop it (which is happening next) and then get wheels (thinking about VB3's).

Awesome, I can't wait, because I still have hopes for these splitters.

+1. Space gray loves CF and gun metal. Best contrast of any color.

Weave and fitment look great.

Thanks for the pics and props for doing it. I personally am not to find of how it looks. I think the iCarbon lip design looks nicer but there are fitment issues with it. There is something about these splitters, they seem to look like an add-on and don't sit flush. I know that's how it's supposed to look but I'm just not used to it, maybe it will grow on me. I have seen similar splitters on the 3 series and they look great. I'm sure they will look good on the 1M though with the aggressive front end. Anyways, thanks for sharing but I'm going go for the Performance bumper.

No problem, I think they look great. They will look even better once I drop her and add some new wheels! I personally think the performance bumper looks ugly, but I guess that goes to prove that "to each his own."

No problem, Saturday completely sucked so I waited until Sunday to clean up the 3. The drive back to Columbia put alot of little bug splatter on the front bumper and since we only have 1 garage spot (for the 1er of course!) it got drenched in all the rain last night. Thankfully I got to seal the paint on Sunday so it'll be a breeze to keep it clean.
