Carbon Fiber Front Lip X5M (NIB)

Jax_415 · 05-05-2019, 11:03 PM

I’ll be in for 1 & 4

mirob · 05-06-2019, 07:04 AM

I'd be in for 1/3 (can't decide yet) & 4 as is right now. Been kicking the idea around of getting rid of the vehicle so that's subject to change.

Looking at it from a risk vs. cost perspective. Do these really need to be in CF? What about plastic/fiberglass lips that can be painted body color or black. No added benefit of CF over fiberglass (besides aesthetics and strength, I guess) so latter should be hella cheaper, no?

I don't want to derail this thread or add a layer of confusion, just throwing things out there that may make it easier on OP with up-front cost and end user with final cost.

Good call out and definitely something else to consider.

What I personally like about CF is when it's received it is good to mount immediately. That instant gratification over having to hit a body shop for paint is a big selling point to me. (This reads also: if I buy prepped for paint fiberglass it will probably sit in my garage. But thats me projecting myself on all of you. Probably one of many good reasons why I'm not a business owner. )

1 & 4

ziggityzen · 05-10-2019, 01:26 AM

Just curious but is there any rear diffuser available that works with the factory tow hitch since there's a cutout needed on the rear bumper?

klima · 05-14-2019, 08:09 PM

3&4 in CF!

LFTBHND · 05-15-2019, 01:46 AM

So... Carbon front lip f/s - First $700 OBO plus shipping takes it. Available for pics on Thursday

I have two Vorsteiner CF lips, brand new in box, $500 each.

PM me for details.

TheVazha · 05-17-2019, 10:46 AM

Sorry, I reread my post.

They are the Vorsteiner "style", like the one pictured here.

It's the same one I have. I have seen fitment of the Vorsteiner in person and it is NOT perfect or as good as some are claiming. You do need a professional to install the Vorsteiner, as you need one to install these that I have.

I apologize to the guys who sent me messages requesting the Vorsteiner. To be clear, they are the Vorsteiner style replicas.

On that note, if Vorsteiner is reading this, you could have 6 sold this afternoon for $500. Lol

TheVazha · 06-09-2019, 10:21 PM

One spoken for.

Have one more.

$500 picked up. First come first serve!

StatenEye · 06-25-2019, 10:23 AM

Speaking on the strength of the Vorst lip in CF. Mine cracked, I think i hit a raccoon exiting the highway. Fitment was good, you see it sagging bc of the impact.

I'm in the exact position you are with selling the car, I was coming back from an appraisal for the car last Friday and this happened haha. I was actually 100% ready to trade it in for 22k for an F10 M5 but there was a mistake with the inventory and they didn't have the particular car i was looking at on the lot yet.

IMHO, no SUV looks better than this E70. The M5 they did have, very similar spec to the one i was looking at, just didn't do it for me I actually love this car and I'm only at 57k miles putting no more that 2k a year on her... nothing can get me out of the seat since i got her.
