Performance Front Lip Clearance Issues??

For those that have installed the BMW front lip, have you had any major issues with clearance around the city?

Im worried that it may be too low to drive comfortably around town without worrying about scrapping the front on every speed bump or dip.

Thanks,

not too bad for clearence. I do scrape coming out of my apartment drive way though (it as a slight slope). I've been acustomed to lowered cars for a while now, so going at an angle is all that's needed to get over normal speed-bumps etc. but with the lip and stock ride height, you shouldn't have too much of a problem. just go a bit slower.

i wanted to get the performance front lip but my M3 is lowered. if i had to choose, i would definitely rather have the car lowered than to get the lip

Good to know, thanks

I have had the lip sitting in my house waiting on the car to arrive, but thought I would double check.

Thanks,
