Front Lip fitment

Hey guys,

I have a '23 M550 and I want to know for all those who have added a front lip, does the slight bumper changes make any differences for the hole alignments or fitment of lips.

https://norcaldynamics.shop/collecti...ance-front-lip

Here is an example of a lip that I want and I reached out to this NorCal about this question but I haven't heard back in almost 2 weeks.

Any recommendations/ information would be awesome. Thanks!

Can’t offer any infor regarding figment but if you haven’t heard back in 2 weeks from any company they don’t deserve your money in my opinion. It takes all of 15 seconds to respond to a text or email. If they don’t have some one checking or responding in that long of a time period imagine trying to return the product if you have issues, or have questions regarding install. I’d be looking elsewhere immediately!

Also you just dropped 85k+ on a brand new car (I have a 22 550i so I’m pretty aware of cost) and you wanna install a cheap $300 lip? I’m not judging but your beauty deserves great parts!

I’d spend a few bucks extra for a higher quality product from a company that wants to earn you business

I’ve just been having trouble finding painted black skirt that is not cf for our model. But I actually just found out these will not fit our bumper too and that there is an oem set for the lip skirts and diffuser. But it’s cf.

Cost I’m willing to pay as long as I know the fitment is good and it’s the style that I’m looking for.

This is not an OEM part. I highly doubt anything is going to line up with anything. Most lips require drilling anyway, there are no pre drilled holes under there, trust me.

I would be weary of this company, even the description is telling. "BMW G30 M5 PERFORMANCE FRONT LIP". No way this lip fits a G30 and an M5. If you just want a gloss black lip, you are better off going with one of the eBay or Amazon options for $100ish. Honestly, lips are throw-away as they will get eaten up.

Oh yes, of course this is the real deal as they only come in CF. Still would be a shame to eat up a $1,000 CF lip in a year or two.

While Joe is right, odds are not in your favor that a lip will last, I still rolled the dice myself and got RW Carbon because it was my favorite style.

I had the same lip on my m340i for 3-year lease term and it was still in good condition, but there were several small dings/cracks from road debris.

Way I see it, either go cheap and be prepared to swap often, or spend a little extra and do your best to avoid damaging but don’t expect to pull it off.
