Splitters for M Sport bumper similar to E9x M3?

Does anyone know if splitters exist for the M Sport front bumper similar to the M performance splitters for the E9x M3? I like the simple look of it have havent seen anything like it for the F10 M Sport bumper which is a very similar design to the previous M3's.

^similar in that it covers the "fangs" but the piece across the middle is a little too much imo.

It's in 3 pieces but they're all put together to make 1 splitter. That's how it comes from the BMW or any replica. You can, however, get a body shop or DIY to remove the center piece.

The M5, on the other hand, has the 2 piece front splitter.

Like you I have been wanting the exact same thing for a while now. I just purchased a replica M Performance Lip/Splitter and will not be installing the center piece. Only issue is it is made of fiberglass and the fitment is poor. I need to get it to a body shop for adjustment and proper fitting. Then I will decide whether to paint them gloss black or wrap them in carbon fiber.

The AC Schnitzer splitters are terrible! I feel like that company has totally lost it's way when it comes to aero components. Nothing they make in that department looks good anymore.

You're probably correct, I would sooner spend the £500 they charge over here on a GRP copy of the BMW spoiler and have it fitted professionally.

I have not seen a splitter like the fang type for the F10 m-sport. Only for the M5.

Well I got the idea to wrap the portion of my front bumper in gloss black vinyl where these splitters would go. Before I committed to a professional job I did a super quick ghetto wrap just to get an idea of what this may look like. What do you guys think?

If you know how to drive with a splitter without scratching it, I highly recommend getting a splitter instead of vinyl wrap.
