    BBS 745i Front Spoiler - WTB

    Hi all - I know this is a long shot, but I am looking for either an authentic or replica BBS front spoiler - 745i version. For those that don't know, the 745i version had unique vents in the spoiler to match that of the factory air inlets to feed the turbo and cooler. Note the vent details in the attached pics I found on the web.

    BBS part # 211008 referenced in pictures.

    Please PM or reply to this thread if you may have any info. Thanks - cheers

    Sharkski - thanks for talking with me about your spoiler! Unfortunately, it ended up not being a 745i version.

    IF anyone else out there might have the 745i version of the BBS front spoiler, and interested to sell, please let me know - thanks

    Hi,

    There was a guy on the west coast that made a run of like 10-20 replica E23 Euro BBS air dams. I bought one and put it on my car, and based on the dates on my pictures it was around 2008. Around 2014 I came across a NOS real deal BBS unit which is on the car now. Below are pics of the replica when it was new. It has stone chips now from 6 years of driving, and due to it not being the same rubber type material. Looks like it might be fiberglass or similar, but definitely harder than the rubber BBS. There are others I believe that bought the replicas, they pop up now and then. I have it on the shelf, "just in case", but could let it go if it went on a pretty car

    Replica:

    Couldn't you just source a regular BBS air dam and cut the holes yourself? Locate the holes w/ a template, drill the corners and cut out with a small pneumatic handheld reciprocating saw

    I think thats what I am going to end up doing with the regular BBS I offered him. The task seems simple enough.

    So mine is a BBS 21 10 008, and I had to cut it to allow air to flow to the intercooler. Wasn't hard.

    Craig, great looking pics, and thank you for the offer. I agree with all of you that a none turbo version could be modified. For me, this would be Plan B. My preference would be to source an original, or replica of an original, and not have to cut and modify. Thanks for the replies.
