Not many options for M8… the ones I’m aware are akrapovich, 3Ddesign and vorsteiner bet they all cost 2k+ unless you buy some replica from AE

So this place is local to me and Ive been installing their products for years---

fair pricing
good quality and fitment

And for things that are not optically in the line of sight; you cant go wrong. Its better (much) than that shit on AliBaba or Ebay too.

Cars Ive installed things on:

F10M5
F13 M6
F90 M5
G80 M3 (both of them)
F93 GC M8
F92 M8 Coupe

and a few others ...

eBay. Been buying carbon parts from China off there for 15 years and everything I've gotten has been excellent quality and fitment. I have the 3D Designs replica carbon front lip now. I only have 4.5in of ground clearance on my oem wheels. Scraped 5-6 times now and hit a few ice chunks in the road. Still looks mint minus some scratches on the bottom. I have the actual 3D Designs rear diffuser and the weave quality and look of the carbon is the same.

Got it from this guy. Took a few weeks cause it was made to order but getting the 3D Designs diffuser also took a few weeks lol. I was worried about putting the authentic lip on the front since it's pricey and a chance it could get messed up. Very happy with this and going to get the side skirts in a couple months after winter is over.

I don’t trust these eBay sellers especially when they say it’s made to order… more likely they just ordering those parts from China Alibaba or AE… an example that’s the same lip but 6-7 times cheaper

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! £121.19 20% Off | Carbon Fiber FRP Car Front Bumper Lip Front lip For BMW 8 Series G14 G15 G16 840i 850i 3D Style M Sports Front Chin Spoiler

The Pic you posted is a M8. Mine is a M850i which is why the lips are different. That carbon lip in the link is still $560 shipped. Wherever they get them from I don't know. I'm just commenting on my experiences with carbon on ebay. Buy that one off alibaba and we can compare. If they're the same I'll order my side skirts from there lol.

Look up the brand Maxton. Fake cf but it's cheap and will likely scrape.

Couldn't find it on AE. Do you have a link? There is a similar one to it here. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802203195389.html

Is yours in the picture dry or wet carbon?

I agree and actually bought their setup. I've only mounted the front lip so far. Yes it's fake but expendable then too. Just about everyone who see's it needs to get down to touch it see if it's real or not. First glance it seems is it is real.
It's low and not that important to me anyway that's fake. Mine is an M8 though.
Sorry but car was just back from a trip and was dirty.
If your doing a front lips inspection is obvious it's not real. But hardly anyone does that to my car. So who cares. If I nick it or wreck it it doesn't matter too much.

Agreed. Wondering if everyone that sees it gets down to touch it cause they're like WTF is this. Especially where it meets the OEM carbon. Not my car tho so if guy is cool with it no biggie.
