I bought that Ukraine lip, and its pretty much a piece of crap for two reasons:
1. The fitment of the lip is terrible. They don't mention it in the ebay listing, but in order to install that lip, you will have to cut two holes into your existing bumper below the fog lights in order for the vents of the lip to fit.
2. The lip itself is made out of fiberglass and particularly brittle. If you manage to not damage the lip on the install and mounting, it will not be durable enough to withstand daily driver duties, esp of you go lower.
I am interested in how you install the lip. I holding out hope that someone will make some poly-type material lips for the e34.
Yeah I agree with most of that. It’s no more or less than I was expecting to be honest. The fit on this one is quite good, the downside as you mentioned is having to cut holes for it.
The red car in the Instagram link posted above makes me think it would look better mounted to the existing OEM lip, if you look at the side shots it looks like it sits too high relative to the side skirts. I did think about just using it for a mold.... I wonder how much interest there would be if I made some rubber ones.
+1 for me as well.
As far as the red car in the IG pic, I think it is mounted over the existing lip on the non-msport bumper. But if you look closely at image #3 in the scroll-able gallery, it looks like the lip was cut on the end in order to fit on the bumper, attaching to the inside of the wheel well.

Offered up the Rondell's today just to see how they looked. Overall I like them, however the car is sitting a little high at the front in my opinion. Thinking about what to do with that currently....

We're working on an old IMSA GTP car in the shop currently, and the wheels were just sat there so I did what anyone would do!

Now I want to spend $5000 on a set of magnesium BBS'
Haha, you are my hero, Kyle. A lot of BMW guys don't seem to favor E88s, but from my Porsche days I am obsessed with them. That gives me a great preview of my someday-goal of gold E88s on my M5!
nice to see another one saved!
the bottom end is strong on the m30
so “turboing” is a must
400-450 hp on pump gas should be possible
a lot more if you build for running on E85
