Carbon front splitters for e39 - Group Buy?

Hi all,

I am getting the following CF front splitters from a Taiwan source. Quoted USD$140 per pair excluding freight at USD$30. Not sure if I can get them cheaper if there are more orders. Was told it will fit on stock bumpers. I am on stock 2001 e39 facelifted bumper.

Anyone else interested? I do not know the source personally but these are the pics he sent me. If you are interested, PM me and I will send you the e-mail exchanges I had with the source and you decide if it is reliable enough for you to join me in the group buy. I cannot be responsible for your loss, if any.

I will leave this open till Friday 9 Sep and then I will proceed to place my order. Cheers!

Andy, you mean the CF lip you were talking about is just these 2 pieces?? In that case there's no point shipping it via conventional sea/air freight as discussed yesterday.

Judging from the looks of it, the price the seller quoted you for shipping is a total rip-off. The price you pay for shipping is probably the same price if you fly there yourself, pick them up and then fly back again.

On another note, you might wanna check with this seller if he/she has any other CF parts for other ranges of BMWs. This way it would definitely be more worth it to purchase the lips. If not I'd rather you speak to local DIY CF specialists to fabricate the splitters.

Nope Barry, the one we discussed was a full CF lip from one end of the bumper to the other and which the source then told me subsequently will only fit the e39 pre-facelift model (even though I told him from day 1 that mine is a facelifted one with the round fog-lites type). That's why he recommended me the front splitter for USD$140 with freight at USD$30 instead of the full CF lip. I dun mind either as long as it makes the front of my ride look lower. Splitter might in fact be more practical e.g. to replace if damaged. Also the front centre of my ride will continue to have clearance.

Strange thing is that he said it will fit all BMWs but I only asked him to show me pics of the install on a 5 series and the photos above are from him.

US140 is expensive. I've brought in a pair before from Australia and it cost less than SIN $150 (incl. shipping). Kentonna was the last owner. I can try to trace the source if you are keen. Anyway, just to let you know that I've custom made a pair of front splitters using aluminium based on the Hamann Front Splitters design. It does not have the curvey end tip like the pics you posted. It is just flat and slightly angled downards because its function is to 'push' the front end down much like a canard. It's currently being spray-painted and hopefully, will be installed by this weekend. I can email you pics later.

Re: Carbon front splitters for e39 - Group Buy?

oh yeah hor! but the look is still the same lah! In my personal opinion , E39 just dun look good with this type of splitters. You saw it for yourself before when i had it on my car! The nice ones are from Hamann and ACS but you also need the M-bumper. Also, they are damn frigging expensive...anyway, to each his own lah!

here's the pic. It is made of 3mm aluminium, strong but light. You can have a few variations like i told you at the meet-up just now.
