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.

Sorry to hear that man, that sucks.

I know what you mean. Sometimes it's hard to find exactly what you want even with a ton of inventory out there. I've gone from looking at F10s and F06s...2014+ with CP, LED, and B&O was a must for me but then I got cold on them...then the F85, and most recently F80. I clearly can't decide what I want so I may as well stick with the E70 for a little longer.

It just worries me because she's making all kinds of weird noises that she shouldn't...but runs like a fucking freight train and doesn't burn oil so I may just run her into the ground...

Oh yeah, bump!

Had a long convo last night and will be heading up to Stillwater this week to mock up a mold for a front lip with the middle included.

Our conversation comes with a good bit of hesitance on both sides, beginning on his end.

The lips he made for me he covered cost of materials on knowing that there's no risk in my commitment. No offense to any of you, but I/we don't know any of you personally. That said this goes into another realm of actual business and that's new to me, but not to him.

He has apprised me that there are many things to consider in making this leap. In order to keep this in bounds for both of us he wants me to establish an LLC and purchase the raw materials on my dime and then contract him to manufacture. There are legal incentives for both of us to operate this way and it's going to take some time and legwork.

I think I'll also need to look at being an accredited vendor here on the forum as I don't want to put my communication path in jeopardy.

Without further rambling... I need to get a count from you collectively and crunch some numbers to see if this is going to make fiscal sense or if I'm going to be in a risk venture mode.

Reviewing above there are three requested/possible variants of front lip and the rear diffuser seems like a no brainer standard design.

Who is interested in:

1. An OEM style lip - just a simple single ridge protruding from the OEM bumper.

2. The fang lip - the lip pictured above with a gap in the middle of the fangs

3. The full lip - with a fluid line between the fangs and extending back to the existing body line. What you're referring to as the schmorsteiner style.

4. The rear diffuser - a carbon fiber cover that runs identical to the factory lines above the exhaust but with a bit more pronounced set of fins

Please give me a count if you are interested with replies like:

1 and 4
3 and 4
3
4

Let's start like this and see where it goes.

Whatever happened with this? You seem to have disappeared.
