Bimmerworld m tech front lip

Arc1703 · 08-19-2019, 04:28 PM

I ordered this part and it arrived with a tube of liquid with the hardware. What is this used for? Has anyone installed this lip before?

Thanks.

Arc1703 · 08-19-2019, 04:29 PM

This is the tube.

What's the quality seem like of the lip? Please post photos once you get it installed.

HaiDef · 08-20-2019, 10:33 PM

that tube is glue. You add it on somewhere near the tape i believe for more support to stick.

Arc1703 · 08-20-2019, 10:55 PM

installed. Fit was perfect and installation was easy.

Where did you use fasteners and the screws that came with the lip?

I just lined up the lip on the bumper and unscrewed the hardware in the bumper where the holes lined up with the lip. Then I put the adhesive on and then put screws into every hole in the lip that I could

Gotcha. thanks. Got it installed this weekend. Didn't even need to lift the front end

Looks nice I may have to get that for my m235i
Is it gloss or flat finish ?
Are you still happy with it after some miles on it ?
Where did you get it ?
I am not familiar with sellers ?
I am new to this BMW thing.

It is a matte finish. Still looks good after 5k miles. I got it from bimmerworld. It's the "m tech front lip" on multiple sites and is essentially a reproduction of the oem m performance front lip.

Thanks Arc....it really does look nice on your car.
Since mine is in winter storage I am looking for things to do to it
Thanks for quick response.

What is the second part for (circle and X)? Just got my Bimmerworld splitter/lip with no instructions. Call them and they said they are not familiar enough with the part...

I read on a thread that part goes into the bigger piece? If I'm not mistaken it should be a direct fit only one way

PeterWT · 09-12-2020, 05:59 PM

I've had my eye on this for a while, finally ordered it today. Looking forward to installing it.

Edit: I got an email advising the lead time for fulfilling the order is 30-60 days... :-(

PeterWT · 09-27-2020, 12:44 PM

Mine arrived today, faster than I thought it would. I'll probably install it next weekend.
For those that have already installed it, did you glue the 2 parts together before installing the lip assembly on the car? Or, did you just put them together with the attached double-stick tape and then screw it onto the car?
Trying not to overthink this, but want it to be securely mounted and stable. Last thing I want is for it to come loose at highway speed...

Arc1703 , sandrik93 , DJR1971 , thoughts? Thanks!

I taped together the two bumper pieces and then taped that assembly to the bumper. Then I screwed the assembly in through the bottom.

I glued the 2 pieces together since tape didn't seem to hold em well together. But that's the only time I used the glue. For mounting I used screws and tape

ninthvision · 09-29-2020, 12:01 PM

That smaller circled piece goes inside the larger lip piece correct? Or does it attach separately?

Yes, the smaller piece goes inside the larger piece. It only fits one way. I glued them together using the supplied glue and clamps because the attached tape didn't hold well. This should have come assembled from the factory.

But, I guess for ~$300 less then the BMW part, they have to cut costs somewhere... some assembly required.

Ah I see, okay thanks! Wonder why it's 2 pieces when it could just be made as one piece if it fits directly inside it lol do you have a picture of it installed on straight on at a low angle? I saw one before where it looks like theres alot of empty space in the middle area where the 2 bolt points and the front bumper are
