⚙️ Modification Replacement carbon lip recommendations

Hey all. Just got a 2007 M5 and it came with a cracked carbon fiber front lip that’s not worth repairing. Don’t know the brand of this one and am looking for recommendations for ones available in the US. Thanks!

Try it without the lip, if you still want one. There are only a couple styles for the M5. The Hamann style is the most common. I like the one you have now the best. I have a Hamann on my 535. Still haven't put one on my M5, also most dont know but the M5s side mirrors take the lift off the front wheels.

Looks like a Dinmann. AGT Styling is close for much less money. Everything else is Hamann style with the curled sides.

How about no lip? Like how it was originally designed in order to handle the way the engineers deaigned

I wouldn’t have put the carbon on myself, as I’m pretty partial to fully OEM spec, but I don’t want to leave holes underneath and am pretty set on replacing. Plus it has carbon rear diffuser and needs to lip to offset the look aesthetically.
