2022 540i Rear bumper lip

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has found this rear bumper lip/splitter in carbon fiber finish. I was only able to find it in glossy black on Amazon and eBay.

I've been trying to find this, too. I think it would finish of the side skirt aesthetic. Hopefully someone can point the way.

I have carbon fiber front lip and spoiler, and just ordered rear diffuser and sides skirts today. But I wasn’t able to find the rear splitters/lip in carbon fiber finish.
My only option now is to get it in glossy black and have the local vinyl shop wrap it up for me.

I just ordered these. Pretty pricey for what they are, and considering they're coming from China. Also means I won't see them for several weeks. However, they are the only ones I've seen that may properly achieve the continuation of esthetic from the side skirts.

They look great tho!
The glossy ones I got were around 30 bucks but the wrap shop quoted me $150 haha.
I might practice wrapping and do it myself, it’s pretty basic shape.

Yeah, I don't think those parts are all that complex. You probably can do it yourself.

Just mocked these up on the car. Two things...

1: They don't really fit. There is a like 1/2" gap on the back edge of the winglet, when held in place. If you were ok with it, you could probably use the supplied screws to make pull the bottom of the bumper cover down to meet the winglet. I don't really want to do that because I don't know if that will put a wierd warp in the bumper cover.

2: I don't really like the look of the front edge, the sort square off bit. It sticks out too far compared to the side skirts, like way too far. It creates a weird visual that isn't cohesive between the side skirts and the winglets.

I've requested a return on eBay, and am on the hunt for something else. Having nothing back there is better than what it looked like with the winglets.


Oh, and also, they aren't full carbon fiber. They are carbon fiber overlaid on PVC.

Not sure if you've seen these, though the price might be why you hadn't brought them up

I saw those. They are pricey but mostly I think I ignored them because they're backordered. I might reach out to them to see what the time frame is for delivery.

I did see them but they are a little too expensive for me for how small they are.

Unfortunately there aren’t many options for a carbon fiber finished ABS.

Those canards aren't listed on Future Design's website. So, I'm guessing they aren't a thing anymore.
