Continuing on the M-Performance theme, I decided to get the matte black front lip (51-19-2-350-711)

I did some research about the fitment WITHOUT the OEM carbon splitters (51-19-2-350-712) since I actually didn't really like the splitter look, and the splitters were also super expensive. Went through the whole process and really didn't like the gap between the lip and the bumper without the splitter, I also tried aftermarket splitters.. and the gap was still bad.

Moral of the story, go OEM the first time or choose a different route entirely, some pics:

Before the lip (with BMW caps on my OG TE37)


Installation



Before the spliltters



AFTERMARKET Splitters, lip fitment still looks weird on the driver's side



OEM Splitters, finally looks right. (Aftermarket splitters in the trash)
