More decisions....do I order the Aero Kit?

I sign my lease this weekend. I am debating whether I should order the Aero kit from the factory, order it from Longtran , order just the front lip from Longtran, or stay stock. Here are the details:

AW E92 335i
2-year lease

If I order the kit from the factory:
$67/month extra, total of $1550. Easiest option, I just pay and they install it for me at the VPC upon delivery.

If I order the kit from Long:
Roughly the same price, but I have to take off the parts before I turn my lease in, have to store the rear bumper, but will be able to recoup some of the price on resale - I most likely will not do this option

If I order the front lip only:
Roughly $500, don't have to store a rear bumper, can resell afterwards by lease end.

Stay stock:
Well, that's the easiest option.

With regards to looks, I prefer the front lip, but do not have to have it. WIth the rear, I prefer the look, but I am not crazy. I would like to stand out a bit with the other gaggle of white E92s around.

I'd just order the front lip. I'm not really a fan of the aero rear. The Mtec rear is a pretty good way to go though.

Just get the front- the rear isn't that good and you don't have to store your bumper if you get it as the aero rear is only a stick on piece, not a whole bumper - you might be thinking of the M-tech rear bumper and that is more money from Long - just fron and rear Aero from Longtran should be much cheaper than 1550!

I'm not a big fan of the aero rear as well. I'd just go with the aero front lip and the M3 rear spoiler and call it a day. At the end of the lease you can recoup some of your initial outlay while helping out a fellow community member.

Yea personally I would rather get the M Sport rear instead of the aero rear.

I believe his $1550 quote was for a painted and installed kit!

The Aero rear doesn't look bad on AW. There are some pics of it floating around on here...

Just don't get the OEM spoiler. That and the ACS one should have never been made...
