I got the side and the front winglets from Aliexpress. Much cheaper the ones than the OEM ones. It is the carbon fiber one. The fit and finish is all good but I never got around mounting it as the holes in it did not match the ones which comes with the OEM one which BMW M Performance unit sells. Also it could be custom installed by drilling the holes but never got around doing the same. It is still lying around in my garage..may be i will gather enough courage to do it over the summer..

https://www.bmwpartspros.com/ has good discounts on M Performance parts. The side winglets are currently $340 each (MSRP is $450).

Fit is all good, but holes in the wrong place? Sounds like you get what you pay for.

I understand that you have to drill holes in the rocker panel covers to fit the MP items...
