Has anyone installed a front lip without replacing the original front bumper? I've searched online and can't find anything. I'm looking to lease a new 535xiT and don't want to make any major changes, but I'd like a bit more sporty look than the standard front bumper provides. M-tech package is nice, but I'm trying to get a good deal on one already at the dealership lot. Many thanks for any feedback.

try something like:

Some also provide the service to already paint them in your color. Especially in the US they appear to be very cheap. I think overall there are 2 main types of spoiler lips. THe one displayed in the link and another type. Plenty of discussions on the forum about the two types (who likes which one best) so have a search on bumper spoiler or spoiler lip on this forum
Hope this helps

Thank you! The Aplina front lips makes for a nice touch I think. I emailed Germany about how to order - couldn't find a US dealer.
