Customer notes

When installing, I used Condor E9X splitter adapters to directly mount to the front frame rails. I then directly mounted the splitter quick release to each of those supports.

The four splitter rods around the front are bolted through holes I drilled into the front bumper bar (OEM).

The actual splitter itself is from Hard Motorsport and has been incredibly strong so far.

This was installed when the car was N54-powered, and I’m still able to run the same setup with the S65. No OEM undertray is now needed with the larger E92 M3 skid plate. For the N54 cars, it’s best if you cut your OEM plastic skid tray.

I’m using components from a donor M3, including the subframe. This is the same mounting layout used on an E90/E92 M3 or 335i, so M3 owners can use the same parts.
