Here you are. Just remember to put a few layer of clearcoat on it before assembly.

Beautiful transformations. Nice to see that BMW enthusiasts outside the US haven't lost their love for the wagon.

Unfortunately, I would not be able to drive into my garage with that installed. It is too low.

And combine that with the 16km "dirt" road to our summer place, I fear that it would end up being torn off.

If I ever get around to re-doing the brick work in front of the garage door (raising the level), that splitter will be on my E61 a day later!
