Honest opinion?

Do you think the carbon splitters take away from the look of the car?
I am thinking about having them removed, I am not sure I like them,

I also have carbon rear diffuser and spoiler but the front splitters I almost feel like it takes away from the "sharpness" of the front end?

thoughts?

Miko M · 08-03-2018, 06:20 PM

It's not bad but I wish they would make it with front splitter, like one piece. Something like in this picture but one piece

uniqueMR · 08-03-2018, 06:20 PM

Personally, I do not prefer carbon splitters. Doesn't look good.

tcw495 · 08-03-2018, 06:22 PM

I don't like the look either.

MF Larry · 08-03-2018, 06:29 PM

is it a pain to remove? what does the process to remove entail?

i think i like the IND distribution with the little line painted

AGS · 08-03-2018, 07:10 PM

I’m not a fan.

DallasLife345M · 08-03-2018, 07:21 PM

I like them on darker colors more than lighter colors. However, IND offers them with a CRT stripe which pulls it together making it appear part of the bumper and seam more seamless. Check them out https://ind-distribution.com/product...1192449921-CRT I’ll probably get these when I get my Competition later this year.

Ever34 · 08-03-2018, 07:53 PM

Just my opinion of course but I think they look like an afterthought. I agree that the IND offering with the crt line looks better.

marcvtec · 08-03-2018, 08:01 PM

Not my cup of tea, hence why I did not buy them.
Hope that helps.

Greer · 08-03-2018, 08:03 PM

I do not like the carbon on the car. Donnington Gray is such a beautiful color, why detract from it?

kart driver · 08-04-2018, 03:20 AM

Splitters are not looking good on the F90.
But I have to say I didn’t like those on M3 e92 either when I had that car some time in the past.

At the same time rear spoiler will for sure look perfect!

JustChris · 08-04-2018, 03:25 AM

Being totally honest, I've never personally liked the part splitters from BMW. As great as their execution is, the nature of them does make them look a little 'added on' vs a complete CF splitter under the front.

Just my $0.02 your car looks epic either way. F90 is on my list for sure but a way off just yet.

I agree not for me.
All My "M" have only had the rear defusers fitted nothing else

Alberta · 08-04-2018, 04:17 AM

It looks too busy for me.

somer · 08-04-2018, 08:48 AM

dont like them, the rest of the accessories look nice though.

BwoodBMW · 08-04-2018, 10:44 AM

Agreed. I'd yank em. Hate how the integrate (or don't) at the top

I do too. The color matched line from IND adds a nice separation

Defib · 08-04-2018, 11:08 AM

I think they look great

Ragazzi-07 · 08-04-2018, 11:22 AM

IND with the crt stripe is the o my way to go for these m performance splitters.

Or wait an see what mode carbon brings out
