So i called BMW to get these and they said they are not made for M coupes and roadsters. That is probably why you guys had to trim the pieces. They are not meant for our cars. These will for my 2008 M Roadster correct?

Correct.

I put mine on yesterday. I had to cut about half an inch of my sideskirt to install on my M roadster. No biggie at all. Without the cut the top corner would not snap in!

No cutting required

Correct.

The Aero sides were made for the non-Ms
The Ms must have a different body clip.

Added Aero skirts as Part of my LCI project

strokeoluck · 04-28-2013, 09:21 PM

I don't believe anyone has answered the cost question yet. Cost to buy? Cost to paint?

mgwatson48 · 04-29-2013, 12:59 AM

Rekla, why are you referring to your painted coupe as an LCI project everywhere? That makes zero sense.

nice to see something different but... the white line completely negates the aero sill crease.....

what does LCI mean????

Rekla · 04-29-2013, 08:52 AM

LCI = Life Cycle Impulse. The paint is just one thing of the changes I made.

mgwatson48 · 04-29-2013, 11:59 AM

LCI does mean Lifecycle Impulse, but it basically just means an inter-generational "facelift" which is why painting bits of your car and spamming "LCI project" on every thread is confusing people. A real BMW LCI is usually accompanied by all new bumpers and headlights/tailights.

dubsesd · 04-29-2013, 01:15 PM

^ this. M cars usually dont get lci treatments either

inTgr8r · 04-29-2013, 01:20 PM

^ I agree.
M cars normally ARE the LCI near the end of the current model run

Don't worry about it. I'm also a noob. I had no idea what it meant. Definitely getting aero skirts and maybe the M bumper next year.

Car looks good, as a race car.... but a street car with drastic color impact, it is too much for me. That said pushing the envelope is what moves us forward not cookie cutter cars.

Blue and white has a special place in my heart
