OEM Aero Lip e92 dimensions

BimmerPod · 04-12-2011, 01:52 PM

Does anyone have any measurements of how much lower/further the OEM Aero Lip extends from the original factory bumper? 1inch?

Reason I ask is that I have kw v2 coilovers installed (car is lowered), and am afraid of scraping the hell out of it if I ever need a tow. (Flat tire a few weeks ago required a flatbed tow, and the stock bumper BARELY made it up the ramp.)

thanks in advance!

You will scrape it... I could try to measure later, but I'm lowered on PSS9s and scrape it daily. Just buy a rep and you won't feel as bad

However, sometimes the flatbeds can have boards to increase the angle your car approaches. With any lowered car you are going to have problems with this type of issue, but the aero lip definitely will make it worse. I would say it extends the front bumper at least 1-2" forward and 2" lower, rounding up. (don't hold me to that...)
