Recommendations needed

OEddO · 05-05-2016, 05:03 AM

Hi folks,

I am new to the scene and currently own a 2012 coupe.

I am based in the UK and currently searching for the corner splitter.
Just need some suggestions and reliable sources to see where I can purchase them.
The pocket is not very deep at the moment but can consider.

Many thanks

Search the classifieds on here. The CF parts change hands pretty frequently.

Buy oem. Replicas will save you money now but end up being a waste in the end.

BMW Oem CF quality and fitment is no doubt the best on the market .

Rock chips will destroy it in no time. Reps are just as good for front splitters.

any links you guys can provide me to have a look at and that would be great.

Thanks

I just bought these last week. Fitment was okay for price and they look good. Could be better, but fine for something that will be chipped up by rocks in a couple of months. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171947173482

shame they don't ship to the UK

Seems like you have a few options in the UK. Likely they're the same. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_od...ter&_sacat=293

not being picky or anything the holes are there already for connivence but I would like them to be untouched, so that 3M tape can come into play.

4130 · 05-07-2016, 07:05 AM

I've never seen any without holes, including OEM BMW. The holes line up with screws already on your bumper. You'll need at least the end screw to secure it properly. 3M tape works for the top inside, but won't be enough on its own. It's not like you can see the holes anyway once it's mounted.

Ok, in terms of quality it should ok right?

Well, I can't speak for the suppliers in the UK but I would bet they are of same or similar quality. Worth the relatively low price of admission in my opinion. I took the risk and am satisfied. Hopefully you'll also have a good experience.

I am just curious with the way the seller describe this

Fitment:
2007-2012 E90 M3 Sedan
2008-2013 E92 M3 Coupe
2008-2013 E93 M3 Convertible Note

NOTE : It just fit for E90 M3 not fit for E90"

Other from that it should fit right?

4130 · 05-09-2016, 06:45 AM

That's correct. In other words, it fits the M3 bumper and not a regular or M Sport 3 series E90 bumper.
