advice on a lip

Hi guys!


newbie here.... proud owner for about a month now...


I was thinking to get a lip for my e90 but had a hard time deciding... anyone had any experience buying one off of eBay?

Trying to determine if i'm going with a lip or splitters. car is black sapphire metallic. going to get my hood redone as i didn't notice it was bad with bird droppings leaving marks and paint chips poorly covered by the dealer with i'm assuming their own brand of touch up paint.

I just bought a hamann style lip to my stock pre-lci e90.Its replica and was cheap.
Its made in taiwan. But it fits just fine and itīs made from quite soft plastic so it doesnīt crack if it will hit ground.

This is not my car, but lip looks just like this

I bought it from local Schmiedmann. Here is link to product there is lot of different lips.

Only thing is central warehouse is located Europe/Denmark.So maybe you can find this product closer where you live.

Look into the Hartge lip and the MMW lip.

+1 on what E90Company said. You could always go the double lip look as well if you get a Hamann. It might end up being cheaper than either the Hartge / MMW.
