In that picture it looks like the MP front splitter has been installed. My wife was fine and the car almost never scraped. Installed the front splitter and it was destroyed in a week. Our e46 M3 scrapes out of our driveway unless at an angle. The 235 does not, going straight out.

I just measured mine at a hair under 6 inches for front fascia. It's less for the pliable air deflectors just in front of the wheels.
