So I've recently fitted an M5tech body kit on my Space Grey (A08) 2004 E60 525i, and am now in the market for a front lip spoiler.

Taking a look at google, it seems like hartge and hamann are the popular choices, but I'm not too fan of the hartge's look, and I find the hamann lip to be too low.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I can purchase a thin front lip spoiler? Does anyone done a custom job to keep their ride height in tact? Any pictures perhaps?

I'm liking the look of the lip this guy put on his car (found it on carsales), any ideas as to where I can obtain such a lip?
(Note: Yes I realise the guy has a Mtech body kit and not an m5tech/m5 body kit)

Thanks!

Since you fitted an M5Tech your choice if very limited to specially modified Hamann rep due to the fact the M5tech is an odd size (hybrid of M5 + M-Tech) so you'll have fitment issue. So any regular bumper lip for OEM M5 and/or M-Tech will not fit into M5Tech bumper ... AFAIK there's only one kind of modified Hamann rep that will fit M5Tech.

Blastiwi is correct none of those lips will fit, the only lip that will fit is offered by umnitza. I had one for a few months til it ripped off, it literally has a few inches of clearance but looks great, however not very practical for daily driving.

Thanks for the reply guys!

I might pop into my body shop to have one custom built.

Right now I'm hoping to custom build something that looks like this:

Question: so I believe I just have the M-tech which came on my E60 550i. I'm thinking its not and M5-tech but I've never heard of it. Will google right after this. But any recommendations for me. I really like that black lip his top picture shows. Know where to get one like that? Thanks guys

+1...I really like that. It's pretty subtle. There's a member here I think his old name was jg525i that had one similar to those. I asked about it but I don't think I ever got a reply.

Which splitter is this? I am in the market to add the OEM Mtech kit and want to make sure this fits before ordering.

Thanks.

That is Hartge splitter for OEM M5 bumper won't fit OEM M-Tech.

The M-Tech version of Hartge is in my pic.
