Options for Front Lip, Side Skirts, Rear Diffuser...Let's see what you have!
My AW M2C is on the boat with an expected arrival date at the dealership in mid July so I've been thinking about what cosmetic mods I'm going to do and I hope to get the parts before the car is in my garage. A front lip will 100% happen and I'm tossing around the idea of side skirts and rear diffuser to round it out. Maybe even a subtle/lower-profile CF trunk spoiler as well. So what's everyone running on their M2C? I'm looking for input on what has actually been installed and used (pics please!) rather than buying something that is untested.
Front Lip: I'm considering RW Carbon part# bmwf8721 but I haven't seen anyone on here with it installed on their car. Though, it seems the M3 & M4 guys are quite happy with theirs. I will be tracking the car so I'm hoping the mounting points are strong. And what's up with the RW Carbon links getting blocked on here--are they shady or did they piss off the mods at some point? Side skirts: Admittedly I'm on the fence about these and I haven't found many options. A huge selling point for me is how they can reduce rock chips on the side of the car. The RW Carbon part# bmwf8711 skirts are the only ones I've found that I like...kind of....but I'm undecided if the car would look better with these. Rear Diffuser: I'm drawing a blank on this because there are a lot of options and they're all pretty expensive. And I don't know what they would add, other than having matching CF bits along the bottom of the car. I've also read they're a pain to install. Other: Maybe a CF trunk spoiler? I'm also wondering if any rear spats are available (or whatever they're called)...but I'm not sure they'll even look good. It seems these often just make the car look busy. |

First thing needed for these are the IND reflector deletes.
I was torn between Automotive Passion front lip and the Lightweight front lip and I ended up going with the Lightweight front lip. The wings on the side of the Automotive Passion and the M Performance are a little too aggressive for me as well as paying over $1,000+. Unfortunately I can't provide pictures as my car will not be here until October-November after my European Delivery. For rear diffuser, the Mode Carbon one is nice but is also $1,000+ so I am leaning towards the Automotive Passion M performance Diffuser or the RKP from IND. For spoiler, M-Performance all the way in my opinion. |

I have the iND front painted reflectors and painted side markers as well as Acexxon rear reflector deletes. so far, my AW M2C is probably on the same ship as yours.
I would also like to see pics of the carbon fiber options on especially on an Alpine White car.

Thanks! What part of Florida? The M color decals were custom made by my detailer, I get asked so many times I am thinking of just making a batch and then selling them.

Yes, he wraps all the cars from BMW Performance Center so it's vinyl not plastic inserts.

It sounds like you're the contact for getting Automotive Passion items, correct? I'm thinking about getting a set of those carbon arch guards after my M2C arrives (next week! ).

I went with AW for my M2C. It was originally going to be HS but our other 2 cars are silver and gray. I thought 3 cars in very similar colors would be a bit much. |
