Hey guys,

I just purchased a 2013 singapore grey DCT M5 and was kind of shocked to see the lack of aftermarket parts.


No arkym lip, differuser or spoiler? I saw the vorstriener stuff, but that stuff is just too much for me.

Anything else out there? Recommendations?

The market definitely isn't as big as the M3/4 and 1 and 3 market but there are still a number of options for everything you mention... IND is definitely a good site to check out and see what's kicking..

I should have known to look at IND. Bummer there isn't much to choose from. Most of the ones on IND are ugly IMO.

If I had to pick one, it would be this one I guess... But Id be settling.

http://ind-distribution.com/ind/cate...port-front-lip


Besides, the other lips are 2300, 2500 or 2800 for a lip? GTFO. That's stupid. I dont care how much the car cost, a lip is a lip is a lip. I can see 1K MAYBE 1500 for a lip, but 2300-2800 is a total rip off IMO.


I assumed prices for lips would be similar to M3 lip prices, which you can get 600-1200 new if you know who to buy from. But the M5 M tax is just stupid.


/Rant over.


Prices aside, does anyone know if this rear spoiler is higher than the stock trunk spoiler? Or is the the same as the stock one on the car, but just in carbon fiber?

Different design, different quality and different size and a bit more expensive because it's for M5 not M3! It's all about marketing and it is what it is!

Thanks for confirming the rear spoiler size.


Not to argue you, but just because it's s m5 doesn't warrant charging more for a lip.

The vorsteiner stuff is not higher quality between there m3 and m5 lips. So charging double because it's going on a m5 is robbery.

It is what it is, but it's BS IMO.

Justify it all you want, were being ripped off.

As I said different size and different design and a bit...
The Vorsteiner's M3 CF front lip spoiler is $1895 and M5 CF front lip spoiler is $2560

http://ind-distribution.com/ind/cate...nt-lip-spoiler

http://ind-distribution.com/ind/cate...-front-spoiler

I'm not expert in material but looks like they are using different material/structure too.
It explains that Vorsteiner uses an Autoclaved Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber for the F8X M3/M4 front lip spoiler and Carbon Fiber Honeycomb Matrix (CFHM) structure for M5! I will not be surprised if they use lower quality material for less expensive car to make it affordable!

After thinking about it, I've had a change of heart. The m3 can continue being the mod toy and the m5 will stay stock other than exhaust and nice rims. It's gorgeous as it is!
