E90 LCI Front Lip

I am a standard front bumper LCI. Without upgraded to a Msport bumper I want to add some aggressiveness to it. I have seen different items here but am looking to get some opinions on what I can do including splitters or just a lip.

Please post some pics so I can figure this out. I have a Msport rear that I just got put on.

ha! i was literally just going to post about this too.

Im torn because i am lowered on KW's maxed out and want a more aggressive front...

dont know how I feel about dropping 500 on a bumper seeing how my bumper gets pelted with rocks and salt (would have to be swapped out in winter).

I hear the MTech front bumper needs additional stuff.... like new liners? and an adaptor?

If I were to go splittlers I would go painted. Thats just my 2cents

I am with you. All said and done the bumper would be about 1000. Luckily I'm out in southern california but there is debris all over the freeways here. I have seen some sort of carbon fiber lip but not sure what it is.

I think thats the one im going with.

its the Hamann style carbon fiber front lip, They say its for pre-lci but if you google search "bmw e90 lci hamann style lip" people put them on LCI's all the time.

That's correct. It's designed for the pre lci, but many have been able to fit it onto the LCI models. Imho it's the best looking lip if you plan to stick to the stock non m tech bumper.

You can go with splitters with the lip also. That's my set up now but thinking of going with a M3 replica in the future.
