Nice move, I like the idea of the full length lip, do you know of any off the shelf or would it be a custom job?!

There's 2 full width lips, fairly similar design.

Arkym, Exotic Tuning, LTMW etc, not sure on the original maker:

This also has a small lip underneath by the looks of it.

3D Design:


But I'm also considering something like this, which is Perf style splitters and then I assume a custom lip underneath.



But not sure how it would look on a silver car. My original plan was an Arkym one either smoothed or painted body colour, but not sure if it makes the front look a bit heavy.

Christ, this place is going to cost me a fortune as I'm starting to find inspiration in this thread and the forum itself... thought I'd make a post instead of lurking!

Had my 325i M-Sport in Sapphire Black just over a year now. Was looking for an estate after taking on a dog(s) and I convinced the bird that only BMW's come with the rear glass opening separate from the boot lol (long time BMW fan/owner) so that was it.




Perfect boot size for these buggers, Westie is my old folks.



No major plans, just trying to look after it and enjoy it but it's difficult with Edinburgh roads being so brutal. Currently looking for a replacement tailgate and bumper after being clumsy in a carpark, got powerfold mirrors to swap on and code then I'll get the wheels refurbed.

Cheers.

Thats what i had in mind as i've got the splitters already, like you say its a custom job as nobody seems to do one off the shelf.

I don't think it would be too hard to make personally, unless you wanted it in CF.

You say that! But not for me, what would you say make it out of? I wouldn't do CF for fear of catching it!

Plastic sheet would be easiest, 5mm thick or so. Make a shape you want them cut it out.

2 in my drive at the moment
white one 320d is sold and going this week, didn't usually do dervs but i did its job for 18 months
space grey is more my usual thing. It is a super rare 335i manual (N55), but what makes it more interesting is the full Birds conversion on it. Re mapped to about 370/380hp, Quaife and Birds suspensions and ARBs

Word and mouth via a friend

Had to wait 4 months to get my hands on it

I'm not really into grey or silver cars but space grey reminds me of nogaro on the e30's & e24's which is nice

But when looking for an LCI 335i N55 touring in manual you don't have much say when it comes to colour and spec
