are you getting it here: http://www.bimmian.com/lipspoiler.htm ? If not, where & how much?
If it does indeed reduce high-speed lift, I am interested too. I may have to conduct some wind tunnel tests to be sure. Anyone have a big-ass fan?![[:)]](/images/smilies/smile.png "Smile [:)]")

I'm partial to the AC Schnitzer @ www.bavauto.com... but it's more than double the price of the normal lip...
What to do.... what to do....

I like the one that fabp has; the one from bimmian. Very subtle, you hardly know it's there. That small AC one is nice too. I agree that a big honking wing is pretty lame. This morning I passed an old conversion van with a huge silver wing on about 10" struts up on the roof...almost as bad as the zebra striping down the sides....LOL
I bought an M3 lip spoiler and adhesive strip from Pacific BMW in Glendale, CA. I expect to receive those items today. The purchase price and shipping by UPS of both these items from there to my home in Tucson was less than the local dealership would sell the lip spoiler for, even though they have it in stock. The local dealership said 20% off list was as low as they would go. Pacific BMW won my business.
I think the small OEM BMW M3 spoiler is an understated item that just adds a touch of uniqueness to the car. Incidentally, I recently took delivery of a ZHP coupe - the first in Tucson. (I ordered it and it was manufactured on March 2.) It did not come in with the lip spoiler as the ZHP sedans have. I like the car very much but like the look of the lip spoiler. The salesman told me that unlike the sedans, the coupes will not come from the factory with the lip spoiler. No problem. I've bought my own. It will be painted and installed ASAP.![[wiggle]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_wiggle.gif "Wiggle [wiggle]")
