Buying aftermarket front lip?

Having my M340 for a while now. Considering buy an aftermarket front lip. Any where I can buy it? Is it hard to install? Does it require drilling hole ? I check underneath the bumper looks like they have bunch of bolts I think installing a front lip should not be very hard. Any thoughts?

I've never purchased anything from them before but I found out via Instagram that a company called JHP Dynamics is making one:

https://www.jhpdynamics.com/

Here's a post showing one of their molds / renders:



They seem to do good work. You might want to reach out to them to find out on pricing and availability.

I picked up the CS spoiler from JHP, and it seems that roughly around Feb 2020 he will have a CF M Sport style lip as well as the rear diffuser, https://www.jhpdynamics.com/bmw-g20-carbon-fiber

When I got my m340i about 2 weeks ago the first thing I did was get a lip and a spoiler. The spoiler is from jhp too and my lip is one I got off eBay

Hi, can you please give the link to the front spoiler that you got off eBay? Also, did you have to drill any holes in the bumper?

Ebay. best option and choices. And it is highly recommended to drill holes. Double sided tape will not hold. Not hard to install if you know what you're doing.

I bought this one from eBay. £60 Chinese splitter. The fit and finish is spot on. Looks like a slightly beefier version of the MP one.

You'll need to drill holes under the bumper for most splitters. No big deal really

Looks very good! Do you have a link/stockist name for the Ebay listing?

Thanks

The problem is, my car is leased. I'm not sure if I'm going to buy it after the lease or I'm gonna get an M3. Drilling holes in the bumper might be an issue with the lease?

The inspectors don't usually check under the bumpers since there will almost always be wear and tear from parking over curbs or whatnot. I've leased a lot of cars and so do a lot of my friends and never heard of charges on drilled undersides. Ive actually returned a couple vehicles with aftermarket intakes and/or spoilers(non-drilled)and never been charged. I guess my luck? Idk....

This is as far as anyone should go. Putting a 3 inch lip on the front of this car looks stupid as fuck

How much clearance do you get?...also how does it handle when plowing through wet snow?

Clearance isn't an issue here in the UK. I can get over speed bumps and in / out of multi story car parks where the ramps can be quite steep.

Only installed it in April, so no snow test yet
