So it sounds like most think this is a good idea from what I'm reading. I honestly have no problems with the look of my LCI bumper, but I figure this will add quite a lot for a little cash to it. Along with black kidney grills, this should make a nice difference. F it....what's $145 these days right? Less than my friggin' cable bill so I think I'm going to give it a shot!

I'll certainly post photos once completed! Wish me luck!

Fine I guess I'll be the guinea pig, I just ordered it!

I really think this should give the base LCI bumper a nice aggressive look to it. As mentioned earlier, if it works out, maybe just some side skirts and something for the rear in the future...hell, maybe just the M5 lip spoiler might add enough along with the KW v3 drop!

I'd love to know how much lower your bumper will be once this lip is on. I have a very steep driveway and that's my only concern with adding something like this or lowering my car.

I recently added an M5 rear spoiler and love it. Very subtle but definitely gives the car a more sporty look.

I've been thinking the same thing about height, especially after I drop it with the KW v3's...I live in an area that has a bunch of speedbumps up a private road, but they're gradual...I got a feeling it should be fine. I used to have a 2003 SAAB 9-5 Aero that had a lip on it and was about 3-4" lower up front than my 535xi and this lip really doesn't look that high compared to some of the others, but we'll see!!!



Hey thanks for the links! Interesting reads here, but I figure I'm a gambling man...I'll take my chances! I'll test fit myself and if it really comes down to it, hopefully I can find a shop to spray and install it for little $$$ hopefully. It seems to be a much more "simple" lip as far as design, compared to the ones on the e90 threads.

Looks to be the 04-06 version: http://www.baysonr.com/04_06_BMW_E60...-bme60-acs.htm

Sure about that? I tend to disagree...especially since the photo on the eBay listing appears to be an LCI front...the differences look pretty clear here.
