Almost Made Mistake Ordering Side Blades for F80

Call me an idiot, but I was placing my order for M performance splitters, front lip, and SIDE BLADES. As I was entering my credit card information, I took notice that the blades are only for the F82/83. They aren't for the F80! Oops... I'm glad I didn't have to ship them back.

That changes my opinion on the front lip as I don't really love the splitters. I just liked the idea of the natural flow from the front lip to the side blades. Add the fact that BMW recommends using Beta Link on the splitters, and I've decided to stop getting too excited and wait until something comes out that I love.

I thought I would mention it in case others were as dumb as me.

Cool story bro! Jk, glad you caught it and it is weird how they only offer it to the coupes and verts but I'm sure someone in the near future will make something for our F80's
