Add Splitter or M-Sport bumper conversion?

e85sbm · 11-16-2014, 06:07 PM

I have a F10 with the non-M-Sport front bumper. I am torn as to the direction I want to go. I love the clean lines of the M-Sport front bumper, but it seems everyone has that look.

Should I do a conversion to get the M-Sport front bumper, or should I go for a Hamann, 3D Designs, or other front lip spoiler which will give the non-M-Sport bumper a more aggressive look.

Thanks

IMO M sport definitely looks better and more aggressive than the non M sport bumper, even with a lip. There's a reason "everyone" else has the M sport. You can also go for the M5 conversion. Just my 2 cents...

I am just as torn as you are, but I am leaning toward the M Sport bumper because the other mods are almost as expensive. Although sometimes when I am walking back to my car, I say to myself that this car is not really lacking in the looks department. What it really needs is a good tune and some suspension upgrades.

Keeping the bumper and adding a carbon fiber 3d lip!

I really like the look of the 3D front splitter, plus I don't like to have my car looking like every other one....just something to make it a bit unique.

Also, I am scheduled to have the Dinantronics tune added in December

No CF lip for the non-M5 F10.

But the urethane lip for the non m-sport F10 looks great.

Any feedback on a cheap replica of the 3D Designs front splitter found on eBay?

There is a carbon fiber 3d lip for the non m sport. Trinity carries it.

I would probably go with a polyurethane lip, not wanting to go with carbon fiber
