If you get that lip, I would black out the silver\white strip on the LCI front bumper so the lip would blend better.

That ebay ACS style lip is for a pre-LCI. It won't fit his car.

Don't have a link to pictures right now, but pre-LCI (US build 04-06), the front bumper looks angry\sad with its teeth (grills) showing...LCI (US early 07 build closer to 08 - 10), the front bumper looks like it's smiling with the silver strip line going accross.

Get it! This is something I'd consider for my 08 535i. I have to get new tires and hopefully new rims this summer so no M5tech kit for me this year. This I would do though if it looks good.

Yes. I have a 535xit and am debating picking it up.

I would REALLY want to see pictures of it.
