It's easy enough to replace the entire bumper to make it look more aggressive. Many here have replaced their stock bumper with the M5 Tech bumper, which can accommodate a lip. Do a forum search in this section and you will find many discussions on this.

Hi,
I recently sold my 2006 E61 with standard body kit (not M-Sport), i.e. with lower front grills and fog lights just like your picture. I really miss the E61, even though I bought a Porsche Cayenne, I feel like a traitor to my longtime wagon/touring preference over SUV's!

Anyway,I had bought an extra AC Snit zer copied spoiler when I modified my car, and still have that extra spoiler, brand new, never painted or used. Here is a picture of my car with the spoiler on (as well as licence plate delete and tow hook plate holder). The spoiler fits right on top of the existing bodywork, requiring only the very simple removal of the left and right fog light grills. The existing fog lights remain in place. the "wings" below the foglights stick down about another inch beyond the original body work, so there is a slight risk of curb damage, but this is generally a less bulky version than full M bumper conversions. The spoiler had no mounting provisions, so I recall that I used self threading screws inside each fender at aft of spoiler, and along the center bottom surface. The AC S version of this spoiler is about $325US on Ebay, but I'm willing to part with mine essentially for free rather than chopping it up and taking to the dump, a $25 packaging charge, and actual shipping cost from Canada Postal Code V0R2W2. Being a spare, this spoiler has never been used, or painted. I'll keep it for another couple of months while trying to find it a home. (I also have a genuine RH tailgate wiring harness to be posted elsewhere)

Actual Spoiler available

the one installed on my ex-E61
