OP, I would scan the Classifieds here for folks that may be parting out cars. You can find some parts at a discount versus new. With that said, be careful as there has been a lot of scammers posing as legitinate sellers.

Check seller Reputation, recent posts, time on forum etc.

Ben r33_RGSport is a trusted vendor here and is very competitive regarding pricing and has great customer service.

RW Carbon offers CF bits at a price better than going the OEM route. If you want OEM, BMWpartspros is a good option versus other vendors.

Congrats on the car and enjoy in good health! Nardo is a great color.

Hey man! I def appreciate the time you took to reach out.

I have def been looking at RW for a front lip. Seems like one of their lips is an identical replica of the OEM front lip. (Don’t know how it is quality wise compared to oem though)

It blows my mind how many scammers there are. I’ve had a few people reach out to me saying to text them for parts and they have 0 reputation or recent posts. Sketch.

I’ll keep scanning the classified section. I’m trying to get the car dialed in properly. I’m going with 15mm spacer up front and 12mm in the rear. I want the kw HAS and front and side cf lip. Any suggestions?

12/15 on Stock Wheels should work well. I currently have 11/15 spacers on stock 789’s and it works well.

I’m currently on HR 550’s for suspension and have been extremely happy with this kit.

Here’s a link to my build for reference:

https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1914416

I’ve now had them on 2 F90 M5C’s and have had zero issues and it provides a very nice drop (subjective based on personal preferences)

I purchased spacers and suspension from Ben r33_RGSport.

Good luck brother.

Wow!! What an incredible build you did! Chalk is such a beautiful color… and that mpe exhaust is the way to go.

Do you get any rubbing at all with the suspension set up?

Gorgeous car!!!! Question about your spacers and lip.

11mm front or rear?

With the car being lower and a front lip do you notice a difference with day to day driving? I.e. scraping the lip?

Hey brother, 11mm is for the rear with 15mm for front.

Regarding the lowered car and the front lip, it requires some work on anything with too much slope like parking lots with ramps. Not a big deal but requires you approach the ramp at an angle, somewhat sideways.

I’ve not scraped it but suggest you add lip protection if lowered. I went with the Acexxon Heavy Duty Lip Protector, purchased from IND.

Hope this answers your questions.

Answered my questions exactly. I had an F80 lowered with a lip and had to do similar things. I just picked up my F90 and am looking at options and wanted to know if I needed to adjust my driving style like I had to with the f80. I appreciate the feedback.
