Question Is the full Vorsteiner kit worth it?

Asking those who have the full thing, split parts, or decided for cheaper options.

For an F06, would it be worth it shelling out the near $7,500 for the full Aero kit, or would cheaper alternatives suit the bill?

I love the look of all of the pieces (diffuser, debatable) & obviously know that they are the top of the line, but the cost is just

Only you can judge the return of value/return for your money spent. My wife would say the M6 or X5 themselves isn't "worth it". There's also knockoffs with reasonable/questionable fitment.

I would never spend money on a body kit. OEM looks perfect.

I have had the VOrsteiner kit on my car and while it is nice it is by no means worth it. I say this because I have had to replace my front lip and side blades since being damaged and they were replaced with pieces off rw carbon and eBay. The fit on the front lip is just as good and a mirror image of the Vorsteiner and the side blades install the exact same way but are slightly heavier but when installed look exactly the same. I personally would never pay the Vorsteiner prices again when I compare to the replacement pieces I paid a fraction of the cost for.

Vorstiner or however it's spelled would be aftermarket if installed on a BMW

Dont bother. All the lower pieces will get destroyed quickly from all the wear and tear of driving. You will regret it.

Yep. This is why I never bought lips on any of my cars.

Yeah, I just imagine that getting pieces off of RW carbon would be a better choice. After surveying their website, I see that they have a huge lineup of authentic C.F. pieces
In the off chance that I ever get jipped on some cheap part, I can just settle for a RW alternativ, and I'll know that they'll be quality & reasonably priced.

Appreciate the knowledge!

As long as you can not destroy it... Vorsteiner fits the best in my opinion.
Dinmann is a great company as well. Great fitment and not as expensive.
