Does anyone have any experience with Maxton Designs? Saw they released their kit for pre-order. Seems like a really good price but have no idea about the fit ans finish.

I personally like the design of the front lip and side skirts.

I did indeed! Great fit, good quality, and even better price….
Think I’ll prob get the side skirts too. But I don’t think any of their rear diffusers look any good, and tbh, on my M60 it looks good standard.
Photos below just so their on this thread….

Can’t believe I missed it!
Looks great and glad to hear about your experience.

I agree on the rear diffuser. I have a 540i and hope and company comes out with an exposed exhaust.

Did you install it yourself or have a shop do it?

I was curious if the front splitter uses existing holes to attach or if you had to have the bumper drilled into?

Different car, but I had a Maxton Design front splitter on my E60. Fit and finish was excellent.

I had a shop fit everything, as they wrapped the roof too.
The rear spoiler actually fits over the existing factory spoiler (will make putting back to standard a bit easier.)
And the front splitter is fixed with self tapping screws I think, the holes of which need to be drilled as far as I’m aware….

Hope that helps….

It does. Thank you.
I think I would like to do the spoiler as well. My only concern is I recently had the car ceramic coated so I think that may cause issues with the adhesive.

BMW must be really proud of their carbon fiber parts. I was just quoted $4,800 for the MPerformance splitter alone with $400 in labor

Wow I didn’t pay that much. They did give me a military discount.
