So after this weekends meet, I seen a lot of cars with a front lip and it looks awesome. I am just debating on what you guys think I should have it painted. Its between black to match my roof or white like the car. Here is a link to pics of my car just in case you dont know how it looks: https://5series.net/forums/topic/987...&#entry1174018

here's a pic of member alpinewhite's e60, just to give you an idea of what your e60 would look like with an AW splitter(I know his is an OEM M-tech bumper, but you get the point)

GL with your decision...

Dude, Phil took a bunch of pics of your car and I was just looking at them and saying to myself "this car looks so nice and clean the way it is - it doesn't even need a lip" haha

I'll post the pix in the pix thread.

In the meantime, I didn't vote - I can't decide I like it the way it is now - lipless

Here are a couple of my favorite shots:
