Maxton Design Front Bumper Splitter — F10/F11 5 Series M-Sport

The splitter is manufactured from ABS plastic — the same flexible, impact-resistant material used widely throughout the automotive industry. That flexibility matters on a front lip: it absorbs minor road debris and kerb contact without cracking or delaminating, while the lightweight construction ensures there is no measurable effect on front-end balance or handling. The gloss black finish arrives ready to fit, with no wet-sanding or body shop paint work required before installation.

Everything you need to mount the splitter comes in the box — fitting hardware and a printed instruction manual are taped directly to the lip so nothing goes missing in transit. Installation is a bolt-on process, though Maxton recommends having a professional body shop carry out the fitting for the tightest, cleanest result. A vacuum-sealed protective film wraps the entire piece during shipping, so when you peel it back on install day, the surface is scratch-free and ready to go.

Beyond the aggressive, stanced presence it adds to the front end, the splitter serves a genuinely practical role. It puts a sacrificial layer of ABS between your factory bumper and the hazards of daily driving — kerbs, car park ramps, road debris, and low-speed nudges that would otherwise scuff or crack an expensive OEM bumper.
