Short/shallow E92 M3 carbon front lip

[bm99]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a short or shallow carbon (or carbon "wrapped") front lip for these cars? I think having a lip on the front really suits the front profile of the car, but everything I'm finding online it a little obnoxious for me personally..

Real OEM carbon fiber M Performance splitters before they are discontinued!

That's a good shout! The splitters on their own aren't exactly my style, but this lead me to come across the "V Style" front lips which I think are pretty decent looking, and definitely are still an option, but I'm leaning towards the GT4 styling, with the cutouts in the front.

^ This is probably the best example I've found so far, but $1k on a front lip I know will get destroyed is a little over budget for me lol

I believe the GT4 style sticks out more than GTS...or is it the other way around?

Correct. There is also a "GT4 V2" style that sticks out less. But still significantly more than a GTS style.

I love the look of the GT4 style but went with a GTS because there's no way a GT4 would survive driving around Sydney.

The guy I bought my lip from, says he has a customer who buys a new GT4 lip from him every few months because he keeps breaking them, but he likes it so much so he's happy to keep buying them lol

Thanks for clarifying, good sir!


Separately: FWIW a friend of mine bought this cheap ebay lip for his e90....it looks good enough to the point I am considering one.

You're definitely right, the GTS is shorter, which is definitely my preference, however I really like the vents on the GT4.

So now my goal will be to find a GTS Styled lip with the GT4 Vent cutouts 😄

AK style is nice if you don't care about having the intake holes.

POM Performance & RW Carbon both offer reasonably priced, "shallow" options.

Well after having my GTS lip for a little over a week.... it scrapes on bloody everything. I don't know how anyone manages with a GT4 lip loool.
Can't go up and down the ramps in my apartment parking lot without it scraping.
Some dips in the road have even scrape it.
I am on coilovers, not sure how much they lowered me exactly, but I'm not slammed, ground clearance is reasonable.

So far it is taking the hits well, but we'll see with time...
If/when it breaks I'll look for a shorter lip...
