BMW and M Power Owners

Its called a front splitter and a genuine BMW replacement is about £2k. You can get copies for less

Ouch. For 2 pieces of plastic. I cant seem to find them online.. If I search for the splitter it comes up with loads that protrude past the bumper, These are about 10Inch long separate pieces. One either side, held on my 3/4 bolts.


Think I've found it

I have no issue now just lesson learned.

However the 3M part you mentioned about mods had me confused.

Surely I'm covered insurance wise if I've declared the modifications it doesn't matter how they was installed?

Anyway it comes from BMW like that so got to be ok surely.

A lot of spoilers and things are just stuck on with 3M tape (even from factory).

Yes, you'll be covered. Stop worrying and enjoy the car!

Well I'm not sure if it's the shock but the stupid roads In the UK . Hot a pothole and getting some vibration when on the motorway . Seems to be mainly be front right where you can feel it . Doesn't appear to be noticeable until your going quicker

Shock? Or wheel tracking ?

Or buckled the wheel. Or cracked it, but less likely if it's holding pressure. Or could be a bulge in the sidewall if it's damaged the tyre. Or it could be lupus.
