Can you add factory aero kit?

Is it possible/easy to add the factory aero kit (not the m package) to cars that didn't come with it from the factory. What does the kit include beside the front chin spoiler?

it's technically a dealer-installed accessory, so yes.

I did notice, and it looks very cool. However, the front needs a little tweaking, whereas the rear looks good.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Looks funny. Kind of defeats the purpose of both the M body kit and the aero.

What happened to bmwusa.com's website anyways? A year + ago, it use to be a lot faster. Not it's an absolute drag.

Yeah, I noticed that too. When I ordered my M Sport Pkg, the Aero kit could not be added. I wonder why they changed the config.

dunno, but IMO the front with aero look quite nice. As for the back...well it looked outa place. bumper + gap = fail.
in which i think the front could be POSSIBLE! since its exactly the same.

After looking through some pictures, I don't think I am a fan of the kit, especially on a white car.

Does anyone have some good side by side pictures of a car with and without? I tried searching, but the only one I found were of C's next to another car.

Thanks.
