Exclamation Volkommen Design M-Sport Front Lip

Hey everyone,

Just took some pictures of my car with some new mods recently and I thought I'd do quick review of my experience with Volkommen Design.

First and foremost, the customer experience with Volkommen Design is one of the best I've ever dealt with. They're very professional, extremely courteous, and will go out of their way to help you with any questions you have with their products. A++ in this department.

As for the lip, I purchased it during the group-buy they had and the lip was prepainted and shipped to me without any hassle or problems. Quality of the paint as well as fitment was excellent. The PU material is definitely much better than fiberglass as I can physically twist the lip around and it is flexible enough that it will not break. It's good to know that this lip can take a beating from our lowered cars without any issues.

I've attached some pictures of the lip below installed on my car. Definitely completes the front end!

Such a great lip for the F10 front.
And I must say I'm a little envious of you LED headlights and fogs.

Looks awesome. Fitment looks better than my authentic 3D Design lip honestly.

Jz and Alan, looks so good.....would you guys consider painting the bottom grill gloss black in the front fascia to match the kidney grills and Alans rear diffuser?

I'm getting the same car/color and bought the Volkommen front lip and think it might look tight.

I've considered it but I don't think it's worth the money and effort for those pieces. Maybe I'll look into it in the future

I've painted mine on my old E92 and it chipped like crazy.

The Remus is great. Nice tone without being too intrusive.

Yeah that's what I thought. I would think the mesh is too fine for paint to hold properly

What he said.

Not worth it in the long run.

All good points! Thanks

Alan did you notice the LCI M5 gloss black grills are in at Tische BMW?

What would you suggest to hide the "5" on the M5 insignia?

Just trying to keep you informed.....not piss you off. I remembered your wish list on the other thread with Evan at Tische.

Funny thing is at IND and another site the grill was either $549 from one and $425 from the other. A joke!! I like $150 a whole lot better.

The black performance is $149.00 x 2 because you have to buy both right and left.

Personally I'm not a big fan of the M5 double slats. The $300 price tag + un-removable M5 logo definitely ruins it as well. I had the grills in my hands a couple of days ago and if you remove the M5 logo it leaves a huge hole.

Is the lip a little bit too low for a bump?
