Got a photo of your car? Hard to say without knowing which model or spec the car is. Also I think it depends on how aggressive the car is. A really aggressive lip on a stock car can make it look worse.

+1. If this is the case, OP should look into getting splitters instead.

Yea, I hope you have a lot planned to make that all work out together haha. I would say you are better off saving towards some new wheels and some sort of suspension changes to get it lowered, either springs if you're on a budget or coilovers if you have a bit more to spend.

However, if you do decide to get a front lip, I suggest getting the splitters for each side. I have them on mine and they improve the front massively! If you want to add to that, you can also add a Hamann or Kerscher style lip.

Here is mine currently, the front splitters and a custom lip (similar to the Kerscher)




This is one with the Hamann style lip, pinched this photo off Mario K.

335xi pre lci. And the only reason I replaced were due to accidents. I was happy stock. Just wanna good opinion. I don't wanna get some shit that might look good to me. But I wind up looking like the people with dragon stickers on their Hondas. Lol. Just saying.

Well Andrew. The thing is I got hit in a car accident. And I'm not going to be driving around in a banged up car. Rims I can cop at anytime. This needs to get fixed now.

Oh I didn't catch that man. That makes sense, I'd do the same thing. Why would you just be buying a lip? If you need a whole new front bumper you should look at the mtech, I have it on mine and I love it.
