Question What should I add to my bumper?

So I recently purchased a 328xi Monaco blue 07 and want to sport up the look of it a bit. I love the look of the M3 bumpers, but also don't want to shell out the cash for a whole new bumper. I was wondering what you guys have done or what I should do to sport it up a bit. I've heard of people adding lips and splitters but don't really know anything on the topic. By the way I recently blacked out my grill so it's black now instead of chrome.

Get the aerolip, that's probably the cheapest route if you don't want to spend on a new bumper.

And if I got that would it look better to get it paint matched, or would I keep it black because my grille is black?

Paint match, leaving it unpainted would look ghetto. Ultimately your choice but the lip comes like this.

Yup, definitely a good choice. That's what I did back when I had my 2009 328 coupe.

Yep! +10000 on the aerolip. I too have done that to make it slightly more aggressive without shelling out $$$.

Where is the best place to get a painted aero lip? Not really sure where to look besides jgmod and a few other vendors on this forum.

I'll just get the M3 bumper, I mean you say you love it matter as well buy it. I guarantee you will end up buying it lol. It happen to me bought a lip and wouldn't do it and just ended up buying the bumper. Bought it for $350 and sold my old bumper for $150 with fogs so It was not that bad.
