Question About F82 front lip and front splitter

Not sure but I am confused about which one is which. If I am not wrong, there are there 2 splitters that go on the front right and left and 1 lip cover that goes at the bottom of the bumper? (Image attached for what I think is splitter)

The shopbmwusa.com site states: "To ensure proper driving behavior/aerodynamic balance, it is strongly recommended that the rear trunk lid spoiler be installed in conjunction with the front splitter." So adding the splitter is crucial for aeros?

BMW calls the left/right carbon fiber bumper inserts "M-Performance Splitters". The polyurethane lower lip is referred to as the "M-Performance Lip".

Can you install the lip without the splitters? Yes. But it'll look stupid.





Notice on the front view you can see that the lip is warped/pushed upward in order to get fastened to the bumper. The CF splitters actually change the shape of that mounting area; it protrudes more and makes the lower lip sit flush.

No Splitters.


Yes Splitters.
