Arrow Best-fitting M-Sport/M-Tech/is body kit WITHOUT M3 Skirts

Hi all - I have a pre-LCI E92, and love the M-Sport/M-Tech/is look.

Is anyone aware of anywhere to source a complete 4-piece kit that does not contain M3-style side skirts? I prefer the more subtle look of the "is" style skirts.

I'm aware of ESS's skirt-only offering (ES#1306794) but would rather purchase a complete kit that was designed to fit together. Some places display the IS-style skirts in the product image but then include a disclaimer (e.g. representative purposes only, actual product may differ).

I'd appreciate a hand here - thank you in advance.

You want a 4 piece kit w/ out the M3 side skirts?

1) Front m-sport bumper
2) Rear m-sport bumper
3) 335is side skirts
4) ?

I don't know of anyone that offers a kit that's not M3 replica based.

The 335is side skirts may or may not fit.

Exterior car parts are so individual, and most people buy them one or two parts at a time due to the price & cost of paint.

You could put an M3 spoiler on the trunk. They are very subtle but classy.

M3 replica mirror caps are a nice touch as well

Thanks for the reply, mweisdorfer.

By 4-piece I was counting the driver and passenger side skirts individually.

That's too bad... it looks like I'll have to pay shipping at a non economies of scale rate since I'd be piecing them out. I'm not complaining about that, I'd just hate to pay a premium for parts that are subpar (e.g. fitment).

Any trusted brands/sellers that I should target?

You don't necessarily have to buy from a noted vendor. I just bought M3 side skirts from a reputable eBay vendor and fitment was 99% on! They were $139.99 shipped.

Just make sure on eBay that the vendor has thousands of positive reviews that equate to 98-99% 5 stars. Nothing you probably don't already know.

You can get an m-sport rear bumper with the 335is sport diffuser for about $475.00 on eBay. You don't have to pay $475 for an m-sport rear bumper & then another $200.00 for the sport diffuser.

90% of all after mkt e90 parts come from the same factory...
