    That's not an E30 part, it's made for the E36. How the hell would an E30 lip fit an E36?

      More pictures of the Cup on a buddy's old E36 325is...











      He had a difficult time keeping the paint decent on the top of the lip, and eventually broke it (With nothing more than OE M3 springs). His was the Carbon Fiber version.

      M-Technic is still my preferred choice for an E36.

      Preferably, M-Technic with the Racing Dynamics Class-II adjustable lip extension. Would match your LTW trunklid spoiler perfectly.

          M-Technic w/ RD Class II...



          Don's car...







          Another suggestion would be RD's add-on for the non-M bumper...







          ...and that same add-on, with a Carbon Fiber lip extension...

            I'm changing my vote to the M3 front end. The Rieger front lip is cool, but the rest of that front airdam just isn't aggressive enough for the car. The M3 front end is all business, and looks a lot better.

              You are wrong.

                How about the reiger lip, and then remove some of the lower grill sections.

                    The M3 front end is all business
                    Business or not, it will make any E36 a lame poser mobile. :tsk: You have to have an "S" motor from the factory, sucka, or else you are just a chumpus.





                    While I'm here, I should buy an M5 if I want to be allowed to use the front and rear spoilers?? Jesus...

                    The 535is came with the same exact body work as the M5, aside from shadowlined window frames and anodized bumpers. OMG!! I'm using the stuff, where the hell else am I gonna fit my intercooler? The air dam was designed to improve the aerodynamics of those charming old bricks, not for looks... And it worked. Same goes for the M3. There is something very "real" about a car that is put together with the idea that form should follow function, not the other way around.

                      Use the oem m3, it looks the best, plus everyone will think you're a baller.

                        325iS's in 94 and 328iS's in 98 came with the M-tech bumpers from the factory. Doesn't need an "S" motor.

                              I see your point and i agree with you, regarding E28's at least.

                              I tried putting myself in Digitalwave's shoes and thought about what he's really going to use his car for (I doubt anything else except to look good). I suppose it's just hard with E36's (and E46's and E39's) because swapping the whole front bumper is like the main give away to making it look like an ///M. That, and it's such a played out thing that a lot of posers do. Why would you want to be like that. It's so unoriginal.

                                I can agree with that, if you are going for looks and originality, M tech probably is not the way to go... And that's why I did in fact vote for the Rieger stuff.
