: I just finished the installation of the CSi front bumper on my 840Ci. Looks awesome ! I also has H&R springs with bilsteins so the ground clearance is only 3.5" , yes less than four inches ! Very nice and I hope I won't destroy it soon.
: Cost - 799USD for the lower bumper , paint and a few extra screw, plastic clip. However I live in florida so and didn't installed a most expensive license plate holder in the world (over 200USD) (no front plates in florida)
: I'll post a few pics later !

I would like to clarify for those interested that there is a mounting kit for the front bumper swap out. Included in the mounting kit is an entirely NEW engine scoop to direct air properly to the raidator and engine. This scoop replaces the existing 840/850 scoop and has different mounting brackets. The kit includes the lower rubber lip spoiler and the 10 or so plastic rivets that hold the lower lip spoiler on. The kit also contains the new mounting bracket for the rear diffuser. Warning, the new rear diffuser CANNOT be mounted without the new bracket(unless you are into bailing wire). It also requires you to drill a new hole into the spare tire space. (make sure to use some zinc primer on the hole) Also one last note, the factory sends out a sheet with the new front or rear bumper that says the two are to be mounted in tandem. Appartantly, the aerodynamics need the rear diffuser to keep the tail down.

List price for the mounting kit is $265.00.

: Rear diffuser install - coming next week !
