$2k seems excessive. You're looking for this one?

My understanding and hearing from others and shops, the original parts especially the Vorsteiner ( they discontinue the products btw ) do not have the perfect fit either, it requires extra work to get it to fit.

Also most M6 owners I know break and replace their front lips every 2~3 months so I can't justify paying the cost of the authentic parts when the chance of breaking it is so high.

As for me, I just didn't install any aero kits after thinking hard about it for a long time.

It boils down to what style you like. They all fit the same and they all will crack the same too. I have that style lip in mastyl link, it fit and quality are very nice but you will need to drill your own holes to fit into your existing screws slot.
I recommend you to add sliplo to the underneath to prevent scrape. Mine still in excellent shape with all the potholes and speed bump where I live.

Cracked my first one going up a curb. No big deal just ordered another one.

At ~$450 shipped, might as well just give it a shot.

I had a original Vorstiener lip on my E92 M3…..fit was so bad I had to send it back at 1.7k price. I went with downforce usa lip after that and it was flawless. I am not sure if that company is still around but they made
