Brighton Spot: Which Front Lip Is This?

Hi All,

I popped down to the coast yesterday for dinner/so that I could get good and frozen (so cold in Brighton!) and me & the woman parked up next to this E92. It confused me as I believe it's painted in an E46 M3 colour? If not then I've never seen this on an E9X before and it's clearly not an 'M' as the body panels/wheels would show. I didn't walk around the car although it took my interest because I felt that the owner might not have liked me to (I assume 335i) but, I saw that it had this front lip fitted, does anyone know which one it is?

I have smudged the reg for the owner's security and will remove the image at his/her request should they wish.

That looks alot like phoenix yellow which was a m3 e46 colour. I believe the splitter may be the one SSDD sell which is the type H splitter. Dont know how to do links on my phone so you will have to do it the old fashioned way and look on ssdd website yourself! Sorry bout that!

Thanks for the reply. The splitter appeared to be carbon fibre also. No need to spoon feed the link

Edit: Yes, looks like SSDD Type H.

I'm undecided whether or not I like this vs the corner fins.

Looks like a snow plough bumper extension for clearing driveways.

But the splitter is tempting me a bit CF splitter the one piece with a CF rear diffuser might be next on the list.

It looks like the SSDD splitter to me. Much nicer looking IMO than the separate splitters.

Reminds me of my E90...
