Different Lips on the E36 M's

[Crewzer]

Wasup all, :wave: I have noticed that there are 2 different front lips for the e36 M. From what i gather the 1998 models come with the "Double Lip" where as the older models come with the "straight single lip". Can anyone shed some light on this. :mmm:

i think what you're referring to are the splitters... take a look @ the white M3, it has splitters :thumbsup:

@Phumi, thanks :thumbsup: As you have shown, in the pics the white m3 has a different splitter to the other 2, why? :mmm:

 

[Phumi]

OK, The other 2 dont have splitters they just have the spoiler, the splitter is the piece that goes on/below the sploier. I think the later versions of the 4 dr M3 came with the splitters, i might be wrong :thinker:
I got my splitters this past weekend...will post pics once fitted.

@ Phumi, I always thought that the splitter and the spoiler was one entire piece :cursin:

They not 1 piece

Was std on E36 4 door M's.

The Splitters break easy and touch most ppl removed them :thumbsup:

Thanks, it clears up why i see 4 doors with and without splitters.

Did you get original splitters? If so, may I ask how much you paid and where you got them?
The stealers want R2500 per corner :hammerhead:
