you can install the front spoiler and once your lease is over you don't need to replace the bumper. just ask someone to takeoff the spoiler and just repaint the lower section of the bumper .dealer won't know it

ACS also offers those nice looking aerodynamic side mirrors, currently without the
LED lights under it. However the sales mngr advised me that if I wanted them, that I should wait a month or so, since they will be implementing those LED lights
on their entire BMW side mirror range!?

I understand ACS mirrors do not support autofolding. Is autodimming posssible and cud you fold them at least manually?
[snapback]88965[/snapback]
[/quote]They fold manually - auto fold...not sure. Not sure about the dimming either.
Will ask the sales mngr soon. I could accept them not auto folding - but I would miss the auto dimming. This would be reason enough not to get them, personally speaking.
But the spoiler is nice - no doubt about it.

[/quote]I have contradicting info from dif sources. Some say everything is supportable except for the autofolding...Some are not even sure about tilting downfunction (better check it too)....
BTW I am going to take a new car with ACS. Do you think ordering autofolding option just for the sake of autodimming (if it is possible with ACS mirrors) is worth 400 EUR0?
Otherwise haveyou seen ACS side skirts? IMHO they do a very good line flaw with the front ad. There are nice chrome inserts for them too.

[/quote]Igor, I just had a look at the prices for the mirrors. 340euros a piece. IMO, just too much for them. The ACS mirrors look good, but I would prefer to get my Vmax speed on my ECU increased for that money.

...and regarding the side skirts..I saw them too - nice, but for me the front spoiler is a good and worthwhile start. Next for me would possibly be a Hamann muffler.
I dunno, I like ACS styling but I wish BMW had a tuner like Lorinser that gives BMW a touch of luxury. Something like a Lorinser DTM style but for BMW would be sex
I agree the ACS looks really good, but I have yet to see one installed with the ACC.
If someone gets a chance to talk to some high ups, could you find out what they do with ACC equiped cars or are we SOL.
