NOTE: I wanted to make sure it was the same one, so I tailed my ebay history. Here is the exact one I bought. The first one got to me no problem. The second one got damaged in transit (never made it to me, UPS admitted fault and sent it back to vendor), and they immediately sent another one.

Sorry for any confusion.

Awesome! That makes sense. You had to drill the bumper? That must be why the ebay seller said it won't work.

What about the rear diffuser. Any issues getting it in?

Nope. Keep in mind the rear is OEM M perf. It fits like a glove.

I love mine. I recently lowered my car and I knew if I got the full lip it would get destroyed. Plus, the previous owner scratched up the area that the flippers cover up so it's a win/win - carbon matches my mirror caps too!

Here are a few additional pictures if anyone is wondering how they look - I had some trouble finding pictures when I was considering buying. Very happy with how they turned out.

I really appreciate your pics man. You car really looks good with these. I'm excited to get them now. Now I'm wondering gloss black or carbon. I have the gloss M mirror caps. Decisions decisions. Does your flappers have an attachment at the bottom of the bumper? Im thinking individually sold flappers don't wrap around the bottom and just uses tape. I know the ones the come with the lip do so, there's screw involved.
Never-ending, I see the link above. They just tape around outside and not the bottom.

The only thing about carbon is I feel like they'll get beat up, fade and cracks sooner.
Where you get the side blades from?

Thanks! These splitters do actually have the bottom wrap-around portion. They are from an eBay listing that has both the lip and splitters. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/143886021189 - Out of stock at time of this post) Originally I wanted to run just the lip, but was not pleased with the fitment, and decided to try this look out instead and have really grown to like it.

As far as fitment, they do have holes in the bottom of them for the lip to attached with screws. I have mine attached only with double-sided tape with no issues.

Side blades are from KGsplitters (https://www.ebay.com/itm/193778360848) and they fit perfectly. Not over the top, and can be had in matte black, gloss black wrap, or carbon wrap. Mine are gloss black to match the window trim. I think they turned out really well also, helps tie in black trim to the bottom of the car, cheap, and are a different option from the M Performance stickers.

Thanks! This is good info. I might check out the blades since they're reasonably priced. They may stick out a Lil too far for me. Will have to see.

Hey, is it me or does the gloss black M mirror caps just look huge on the 240i? I've only had them on about week or so. It seems when the mirrors are open and I'm standing a little ways off from the front of the car, the gloss black stands out and the caps remind me of Mickey mouse ears. I think the black on white car may exacerbate the effect. I've gotten use to it and doesn't look bad. But now with the mirrors closed, the side view is a bit much. It reminds me of the old white police cars with the black mirrors and stuff on the side.

I don't see this effect from the picture of your white caps. Maybe it's the angle or the matching white reduces this effect. I'm thinking about white M caps now.
You get this effect with your car?

There are some angles I find that do make the M style mirror caps look a little strange - I believe that effect will likely apply to any color, due to our cars being more of a slim profile relative to M cars.

For me personally, I don't mind it too much. Front-on view looks great, and side view looks good to me as well.

I went with white mirror caps because I was not intending to pursue that typical black/white theme we see often with white cars and wanted something different. I think they look really good with the black accent on the bottom portion.

I love how the black caps give the car that little extra aggressive look. I like how the white caps give that stylish high end look. It was a hard choice for me. I think the white caps will look better from a side view with mirrors closed though. Otherwise, I'm so glad I did this upgrade.
Thanks.

That looks nice, definitely got my attention. I have not actually seen one of these on a mineral gray yet. Anybody?

[spidy512]

Haha,

I have had or have pretty much all of the above.

The rocker plates are awesome! I drilled mine n and they look great. The mat finish matched the rear diffuser as well as the front chin spoilers.

I ALSO had the carbon ones above. They are thinner material, and "chin" stick out a bit more aggressively. Which looks good! I plan to get a set as a third backup as i destroy more chin spoilers. Haha.

Glad to see this being documented for others. its hard to find reasonably prices body parts for these cars....

Are these more protruded than the bumper? it also looks more pointier than others in this thread. Can you please confirm? And a link of where you bought it from? Thanks!

I like the look of this, it looks like the e92 M3 flaps.
