"The Snow Lip" What is this part and where can I find one?

[someMoreMplease]

Hey everyone- for the past couple of days I've been ogling at these pics. This "snow lip" (what I'm calling it) is what BMW uses at their Snow and Ice Experience that happens in Sweden on their M4s and M6s (as in this video :

)Its the same part that was featured on the M4 GTS Ice Racer. Apparently it prevents the car from being wedged in snow banks. One of these and some Hakkapeliitta 8s would make such a monster <3. Probably prevents your bumper from being the plow. Must also make for easier parking .
Does any one have a clue as to what this part is, if at all and where it can be ordered?

I know it's wrong of me but I think they're all Austin Yellow because they can't sell them. Not just for the contrast in the snow.

Austin Yellow has been the color used in all the marketing campaigns, maybe thats why. But the sad thing is I can see it being true.

I'd be curious to see how this is anchored to the vehicle. Looks solid as hell for those in serious weather conditions but I'm wondering what you'd explode underneath the car if/when you apply sufficient force to that plow.

While I like the idea of something protecting the car from extra snow as it snows a lot here, I just don't see myself putting something like that on my car. Makes it look really ugly. But the added protection is definitely a plus.

yeah its definitely not a real plow by any means, but it should knock some snow out of the way. BMW is using it on their snow drift training- where cars must slide out and hit the snow banks all the time- so maybe it can take that little bit of beating without damaging the car....?

It is uglier for sure, but my M4 is my dd winter beater. Having something like this might mean extra protection and mobility. Wonder if it prevents the car from getting beached- that would be pretty awesome.

I daily drive my M3 as well and it snows a lot in Alberta. Still don't see me putting this on lol.

Not something I would ever put on my car daily. I Could see it being useful as a snap on/off lip for snowstorm days. If its solid on the bottom, Id be concerned with snow build up inside as well.

Side note, is it me or does the M4 snow racer car have the smallest brakes ever?
