Does Hartge lip spoiler fit 2008+ M5?
I read on this board that the 2008 M5 LCI has a slighty different bumper and hence the lip spoiler from Hartge, does not fit.
Is this true? 
Thanks,

One way to get to the bottom of this urban legend is to contact Hartge direct. (See sponsors above, They respond within a day via e mail)

I have it on my '08 and it fits perfect. I had a really good body shop do the work though and they never said anything about having a problem getting it on...

Barry, I love the color of your car. Did you know there are NO sepang M5's in 13 western states for sale? I tried to get one this week and was told no, but I can order one.

Thanks, It truly is a gorgeous color. For a daily driver it's perfect.

I emailed Hartge who had Ralph Zorrilla representing GGI European Tuning contact me direct. The Hartge front lip spoiler will fit the facelifted 2008 E60 M5. It is available in the US through GGI for $1,000. retail. (Sounds high, but I have not priced this part lately) I have his Email and phone if you need it.

Yeah, I don't know why, but they upped the price from $599 (I think) to $1,000. Kind of ridiculous, but still cheaper than schnitzer and most other front lips, and looks better too IMO...

Its not the price of the part, its how bad we are getting screwed with the Euro that pisses me off so much.....oh well at least our cars are still cheaper...for now.
