Splitters

[das boots]

Are splitters still a hot item? Mostly I am talking about are the CS (Two Fang) plastic OE splitters. I have noticed quite a few have been going up on sale lately. How much would a used OE splitters cost nowadays? Not Carbon Fiber. Most I've seen have scratches but no cracks. Do they easily crack after hitting a curb? BTW, I know splitters has been discussed before but they were mostly concerning different types of splitters.

[Hermes]

I thought the clubsport splitters were cf?

[Meric]

They are just black plastic. Can we get those splitters in NA?

[JKO_ZHP]

I have the CF ones from Khoalty, they look the same as the clubsport ones I've found on Google. http://www.khoalty.com/bmw-e46-m-tech-splitters-m-tech-ii-bumper.html

Here's how they look:

You can choose the ABS option, they obviously aren't OE but they look the same IMO. For aftermarket splitters, fitment was pretty good, 9/10.
I've scraped them twice on concrete parking bars but they didn't crack, you can't see any damage unless you look on the underside

[das boots]

The seller sent pics and they are OE. With scrapes, what is the ongoing price for used splitters? BTW, most of the scrapes on the pics were all underside.

[Johnmadd]

If they are not cracked and just need refinished I'd say 150.00$.

[ryankokesh]

I didn't have the same experience with my khoalty cf splitters. Fit was 7/10 at best. Maybe more like 5 or 6. Took quite a bit of work to get them decent.

Personally I still think they are cool and plan to get the Khoalty CF ones.

If you can get them for 150ish I would say that's a good deal.

[webster]

i've been thinking of getting some lately, to cover the curb rash on the underside of the front bumper. don't want to look ricey though. might just look into a bumper re-spray. hmmm

I don't think they are ricey, they would give the bumper a more aggressive tone if you ask me.

[cakM3]

If I "were" to get splitters for my ZHP then it would be the carbon fiber clubsport versions. I think the carbon fiber weave gives that classy yet aggressive look and goes well with the MTec II front bumper. However, I'm not a splitter kind of guy....I prefer a lip with my BMWs...:)

[webster]

main thing i'm worried about re: splitters/lips is scuffing them up. i try to avoid scrapes at all costs but sometimes traffic/weather conditions make them unavoidable. it would piss me off to buy and install some nice CF splitters and damage them.

Any chance you have pics from the corner/sides? I'd like to get another view of them... Thanks!

[gr330zhp]

I love mine! Have them a couple years now. Bought primed, had a customer who works at a local Chrysler dealer body shop paint them for me, in exchange for me to make him a couple pizzas! Boy was that a good deal! :thumbup

Never had an issue with them scraping. I am actually thinking about possibly getting them molded to my bumper over the winter.

[JupiterBMW]

I agree, molded is the way to go... My brother has a lip on his S2000 and he had it molded... Wow, looks so much better...

Of course, that's really hard to do with carbon fiber...

JKO, hoping for pics! :)

What does that entail and what's the difference?

[gr330zhp]

What does that entail and what's the difference?

Well, a body shop would use an epoxy of some sort (so I have heard) and mold the splitters to the front bumper, for a look similar to this below, though these may have been different splitters

Snapped this pic at Bimmerfest a few weeks back. Tried to find the owner but nobody was around, does anyone know whos car this is?? Are they on here and I just don't know?? :dunno

I was able to purchase the splitters from the CL ad. I was able to get it for $100 shipped from Fullerton to San Diego. Arrived yesterday PM. Yes, they are OE splitters. Photos to follow soon. Would need to be primed and repainted.But in the meantime, I have a couple of Qs....

-On the upper lip, it looks like a double sided tape was used to mold the upper area to the lower bumper. What is the best method to remove the old/used tape?

-Where do I purchase a very good 1/4" double sided tape aside from the dealer?

-If no other choice than the dealer, what is the P/N for the tape?

To take it off try goof off, it will take a while, and 3m makes some amazingly strong double sided tape, I'd google to find the best kind

[das boots]

I googled..there must be a ton of them.....any specific tape? Found out about removal...heat & goo gone.

Yes it does help a little. Thanks... I like how the splitters above do not go way up the sides like the ones that DW has... What brand are these??


For the rest of you interested in molding. Basically, bodykits, lips, and splitters are all just stuck/screwed onto a car, for the most part. Typically, they are placed right over the existing bodywork, and when done that way, there is a seam or joint where the new piece and OEM body panel meet. A lot of people use double sided tape to fill and seal this gap. It does the trick, but its not perfect. And speaking of, the best tape to use is 3M. They make some that is about 1/2" wide and it is in a medium grey color. The backing plastic is red. Once you peel that red backing plastic off, you better make sure you stick the part in the right place, because it is NOT coming off! Very good stuff. If you choose to 'mold' them, basically, all you're doing is using body filler to fill that joint between the two so that they look like they are one piece. This is a much higher quality look, but its more expensive as it requires the body work and paint afterward. Also, once done this way, the look is permanent (at least without doing additional body work/paint)...

Hope this all helps... FWIW, I used to work at Andy's AutoSport a million years ago...

[kakashi169]

i had khoalty ones before and the fitment was pretty bad to be honest....

[JupiterBMW]

Yeah, I personally have never seen any of their stuff, but I've read too many things about their quality, or lack thereof... I believe you get what you pay for, and from what I've heard, Khoalty stuff is pretty cheap...

[JKO_ZHP]

http://oi48.tinypic.com/2ee8yes.jpg

IMHO, Khoalty's splitters aren't crappy, they're decent enough. I wouldn't use tape as they suggested, I had these bolted on at a reputable body shop.

[jayjay_dee]

Mine is from Khoalty too, and I installed it myself. Easy enough to do it yourself, just raise your car and you are good to go...

I found the tape you are talking about...it is 3M-06384. Acrylic Plus Tape PT 1100. Have to get these online. I do not think they would be available on any local store. Pretty pricey for a roll.

Did you bolt and tape? I've heard some people say that's the way to go. I'm thinking of that, plus some exopy/caulk around the edge.

[danewilson77]

I used three bolts from underneath and splitter adhesive.

[Hornung418]

For me, any ill-fitting aftermarket garbage like the splitters should not even be an option.

OEM all the way for splitters. Either the Club Sport Splitters (Coupe only) or the BMW Performance Splitters (Coupe and Sedan).

Respectively:

5869

Now the issue becomes finding them. Real OEM lists the CS splitters as part numbers 51117895563 (L), 51117895564 (R) and 07146959925 (6 Phillips screws). Still looking for the Perf splitters.

I got my CF splitters in '09 from Smilez when he worked at Eurodyne. They fit really well and looked great.... who knows where they came from... fast forward to 84k miles later... the finish is peeling off and the bottoms are worn through... yes I drive my hard hard... I need new ones too

Good news! Tom (CTD; Belgian splitter maker) has returned my PM. I will copy and paste our first exchange in a minute. He is definitely down to help us but has rules and turn around of 2 days per splitter pair.

So not that we're in a hurry or anything, but if you are interested in these splitters please let me know here in this thread if that's appropriate, or send me a PM. M, D or K, please advise.

CTD,

A large number of friends are interested in getting splitters for our M Tech 2 bumpers. We have decided that the Performance Splitters are the ones we want, but sadly they are NLA from BMW. I noticed that you had made a mold and had made several copies.

My friends and I would be interested in your business and a possible group buy and large shipment to a single location to be distributed by our own means. We already have 10+ interested parties and would be willing to make this worth your while for a quality Carbon Fiber Performance Splitter replica.

Please let me know what you think of this arrangement and return any thoughts you may have.

Justin


Hi Justin,

I'm interested in producing a larger amount of the Carbon Fiber splitters. If we're talking about 10+ units, I can make the prices a lot more interesting.
I don't know what shipping prices are for large amounts.

Please understand that it takes a day to make one set. So if we're talking about 10+ units, please give me 3 weeks as I also have a daytime job an a quite busy schedule.

After production I have to spray each splitter with a UV repellent clear coat to prevent yellowing over time (I use the most expensive epoxy but every Carbon fiber part tends to turn yellowish.)

Please also understand that I can't agree with a group buy if every contender has his/her own wishes (like: colour, wave, other material (like fiberglass)).

I have one unit ready to go out the door, maybe you can buy this one as a sample.

So if you agree with this all, please contact me on my normal email address which is: CTD16@msn.com

Kind regards,

Tom Corthouts

So let me know what you think and if you would be interested in the prospective plan of action, please make it known.

If splitters are similar to the pics in post 37 and if they are any good and the price is right, then I can turn around and sell the splitters that I got....They look meaner and have a sharper edge/teeth.

[Hornung418]

My guess is that the base price for one piece (no Group rates) would be $250/pair. Remember these are hand made Carbon Fiber splitters using the best quality products. I will further contact Tom tonight for more info on pricing.

Also...here are the CF part numbers for the OEM Performance Splitters:
Left: 51 19 0 414 342
Right: 51 19 0 414 341

And the CF rear diffuser for the M Tech 2 bumper is: 51 12 0 404 942

Just in case you were wondering, the Splitters back in 2009 were $485 from Tischer...

Yes that was my thinking. If he ships to you or me, I can flat rate them to the opposite coast and do delivery at SIGFest for the east coasters.

Personally, I think Hornie should handle the initial shipment as he is on the East Coast. That is the shortest distance to Europe and will save our Belgian buddy some money on shipping (or save us money, however it works out)... From there, yes, flat rate shipping will probably suffice for all of us here.

Mucho thanks and I'm in for price. I would hope his price would be no more than $250, less if doing a group buy. Either way, I'm in.


And just to verify, his parts are exact replicas of the blue car in post #37 (the one that Dane has reposted)...?

Geez, I think I'm the one that started the talk of getting pics of CF splitters in this thread, and somehow I can only do 3rd best on 'dibs' from Kristen (assuming she can find them)...?!? Damn, you guys are killin' me!

Well, put me on the list... :dunno

[danewilson77]

I don't get it, it just says "mounted part" - $259.... So, first, is that an OEM BMW Perf c/f splitter? And, that price is for 1 each?

Secondly, if Rob/Kpro can actually get the BMW Perf. kind, I got 2nd dibs.

John, those are the oem P/N's. They are $259. They are the BMW perf piece.

[Hornung418]

Here's what Tom has gotten back to me with.

Hi Justin,

The price is right at 250USD. When you buy 10 units, shipping is free of charge. I have to tell you that I had the OEM splitters on my car and wasn't happy with them. The OEM splitters are so thin, maybe just 2 layers of carbon fiber. That's why I decided to make my own with 4 layers of Carbon fiber, one layer of glass fiber (for the inside to prevent moisture getting to the carbon fiber (carbon fiber can't handle water) and a UV protective clear coat.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,

Tom

So free shipping from Belgium to the US. Sounds like a great deal saved on shipping. Let's see if we can get more than 10 people interested.

[webster]

forgive me if i missed this, but is it $250 per splitter or for the pair?

[Hornung418]

I was also not sure what Tom's definition of "unit" is.

This has long been a topic but you should get credit for starting it up again, you can have my 2nd dibs, I'll take your 3rd. jr

I'm in at $250 for the pair.

Should we get a group buy thread going?

Any more takers or people that I missed?

[webster]

i'm in @ $250/pair. coupe obvi

[danewilson77]

$250.00/pr for reps correct?

I asked her to check today but they are frggin swamped at the dealership. It will have to wait until monday.

I will say that the OEM splitters on the 135 are paper thin like that guy said...

[Hornung418]

Okay.

We've got 11 members on the list. If we can get it to 15+ we are looking at $230 plus free shipping to your door. Shipping from Belgium is ~$48. So a $68 saving is extraordinary!

Shall I create a dedicated thread for the list?

[328ioc]

I say just keep it in one since you already have the list going plus all the info.

Thanks for all the work you are putting into this!

:wub Aww, you guys are so sweet... I'm not too worried as its seeming like the reps will be the better way to go anyway. I just didn't want to get lost in the firestorm of this thread... This topic has blown up over the last day or so!

[JupiterBMW]

Also, I just got an email from my contact and he says that the guys in the parts department can't locate them anywhere... Sucks...

[danewilson77]

I would like to see pics of the actual product he has, prior to proceeding with the "no shit" list.

[Hornung418]

Okay requesting pics now. He has one completed set for sale.

[JupiterBMW]

I agree with Dane. I'm in for pics before we commit.

E46fs....

[Sockethead]

She's going to check tomorrow.

Seems BMW unloads all the performance parts for dirt cheap when they discontinue... Remember how cheap the performance rotors were?

She can get them for 225 a piece... that means the pair will be $450.00 +7% NJ tax... IF they can find them... no one has them. BMW must just sell the discontinued stock to places like ECS to get rid of the stuff.

[Hornung418]

Damn! That's expensive. ECS charges $250 per side. I am going to call tomorrow and see if they even have them in stock.

$400+ was too much for me, which is why I'm leaning the Belgian route.

Okay, the Group Buy is no longer to be discussed in public and is effectively shut down. Members who have put their name on the list will all receive a PM from me tomorrow.

[das boots]

My contact just replied......

"I know the pieces you're talking about. They're part numbers:


51190414342 --$245.48
51190414341 --$245.48


These are not NLA, but there is zero quantities in both the US and Germany. This means BMW would have to have another set made, which would take some time. I wouldn't be able to get an accurate ETA, but would be guessing somewhere in the 2-3 month wait time. I searched our database and found no dealer with these in stock. Sorry I don't have better news for you."

[johnrando]

Actually that's not bad news... meaning we could still get them if we wanted (if I understood correctly). It's just the price that's too much for me. Wish I could have found some blowout pricing like they did on the strut bars and performance intakes.

[HokieZHP]

so has anyone considered these as an option or heard anything about these?

Yup. You are correct. It does say that. When I looked on my phone last night....I didn't see it.

[Sockethead]

You gotta be carefull when ordering from Bimmian. Just becaue it says so on their website doesn't mean that will be what your getting. We found this out when we ordered a carbon fiber wheel trim for the X5. it was supposed to be for the M sport wheel and it wasn't... Best thing to do is call them and ask

[johnrando]

You'd better call. I think I wrote these off as the detailed text doesn't say Mtech II.

[Sockethead]

You'd better call. I think I wrote these off as the detailed text doesn't say Mtech II.

I just called them and spoke to Scott. He said that they are indeed for the e46 Mtech II bumper...he said there is no difference between the coupe and sedan...

[johnrando]

So will you be our guinea pig?

[HokieZHP]

I vote Rob should be the guinea pig since I'm not putting splitters on until I either repaint or replace my front bumper

Lawrence (das boots) started it, but Jon (jupiterbmw) took credit for reviving and got 1st dibs. :rofl

[Hermes]

I was at Lawrence's house yesterday and (just to put the issue to bed) the fitment of the clubsport splitters is exactly the same on his sedan and my coupe

[Hornung418]

Is the fitment good or bad? You just said it was the same :P

This post brought to you by Uncle Clark's Anti-gravity Cream. Put some on your Super Collider just before the Big Bang.

[Hermes]

fit is perfect... and exactly the same. I don't know why they are supposedly coupe only

[JG330i]

I have the CF ones from Khoalty, they look the same as the clubsport ones I've found on Google. http://www.khoalty.com/bmw-e46-m-tech-splitters-m-tech-ii-bumper.html


+1 for this. I have them and the best part is, if you manage to scrape/dent them they are cheap to replace vs OEM Clubsport.

[Sockethead]

So will you be our guinea pig?

heh, Ryan is going to try and salvage my existing spitters, I left them with her in NC.
I will probably eventually buy a backup pair though...
