Front Lip

I'm looking for the smallest Lip made. I bought a 2016 M4 on Coils so speed bumps can be a nightmare!!!

I'd go with the OEM splitters or the Lightweight front lip (super durable).

Agreed x2.

Go OEM:
1) It's smaller
2) It's plastic (will take a beating better)
3) It's cheaper
4) It still looks pretttttty good

Leaves a gap, so technically you are supposed to have the splitters in order to install the oem lip. If you like the look of the m performance lip without splitters look into RKP's street lip.

Its actually built in a way that even if you do scrape slightly the bottom will take the hit and the edge / top never gets damaged. Plus only the upper visible part of the lip is exposed carbon fiber while the bottom and back is painted black. Pretty slick, looks like they put a lot of thought into it.

The F80 front bumper is already lower than the previous generation M3 was and it is definitely very unforgiving on lips. I went through 3 in a matter of the first 2 months until I found the RKP. So far so good.

Oh and I am also slammed on HAS too..

Definitely try to get a plastic/polyurethane lip. I'm lowered with an aggressive carbon lip and I hate myself whenever I pull out of my garage.

Agreed with everyone here about a Poly Lip I'm not on Coils (yet at least will be soon) but I'm lowered on KW HaS and still scrape lol. Definitely get a poly lip lol and as for pictures It's not the greatest but should give you a general idea. It's pretty sublte. I'm currently at work and have more photos on my home computer as well as my phone if you want them.

Not possible, so you'll just need to paint the splitters. IMHO, the LW lip and the OEM lip are the best looking OEM-plus lips on the market. I still might opt for the M Performance lip with painted splitters at some point. I currently have the Lightweight lip.

I'm really the only one that don't like the cf splitters on bright colors? Lol..... I'm missing the bumper shape with the cf splitters. Lightweight looks great with modified spacers...

If you're referring to the OEM front lip, by itself it's cheaper, but you need the CF splitters with it which bumps it up in price substantially.

No. There are many people (including myself) that inquired about running the OEM lip without the CF splitters. It is possible to do. The only issue will be a gap where the CF splitters would have covered up. If you don't mind the gap, go for it.
