E82 Aero kit

[gds52]

I have a 128i track car and I'm thinking about one next mod, Aero.

The goal is to have some decent downforce front/back for stock 128i power. Not extreme, not very expensive.

I will really appreciate if you can share some pics/details.
Thanks in advance

Aermotions rear win + home made front splitter, working amazingly

If you want a budget-friendly wing option that also functions very well and efficiently, look up Nine Lives Racing. They make great options and should work with you on mounting if they don't have an existing solution.

Edit: looks like they have one for the 128i already

Your best bet for a splitter would be homemade. I used birch plywood for my old race car with some homemade mounts and thin aluminum air dam and it worked perfectly.

Thanks for the great suggestions
I will look for homemade kit. A friend is already doing for the front lip for his M3.

I wish someone would make a good looking and functional splitter for the E82 bumper for those of us with dual duty cars.

For some visual ideas, here's my solution for an E36. I roughly copied the Bimmerworld LTW mounts and used an off the shelf lip for an air dam. I later changed the air dam to a piece of 2.5" aluminum flat bar from the hardward store that I bent by hand to the contour of the front bumper and welded some tabs on the back so it could be screwed into the wood splitter. If you go to the end of the thread you'll see some final pictures of the car with the updated air dam.
