Well after looking closely at some pictures, I don't believe the current M-Aero kit will fit "Flush" with the new Face lift. I believe the area under the headlights and the lines down the middle near the grille that look as though it runs with the hood may not be flush, I also noticed a picture that looked slightly more aggressive than the current M kit, it also had an Amber reflector that runs near the front wheel well, is the same as the New 3 series Coupe reflector.
If that is the case it seems as though there should be a new kit, at least the front bumper, the side skirts and Rear bumpers of the current M kit should fit, it is just the front piece that has me curious. Any thoughts?
Peace

I happended to be looking through the OEM Parts section on the German BMW web-site and noticed they offer Carbon "Lips" as attachments for the E60 M-Sport front bumper. Is this new?
(Unfortunately still no chrome tail-pipe for the 520d exhaust :thumbsdown: )

ith the last 3er (the E46) they changed the M-Sport pack with the Face Lift. With regards to the E60, I really can't see what they could do to improve it. IMHO its 100% spot-on. Hope they don't go ruining it just for the sake of making it look different.

As I understand it, the lips are made by ACS... and sold separately..... and with anything BMW/ACS, it doesn't come cheap.....
