Front Air Dam on E63

The air dam on the front of the E63 is so low it sometimes hits the surface. I noticed that there is a clip connecting the mesh to the lower front bumper, and for some reason that clip is now exposed (disconnected). I will take it in as I hope it could be fixed quickly. Anyone else have these issues?

Whenever I am in doubt I raise the car up. So far so good. I RUINED my old cars bumper on my drive way. Im trying my hardest not to do it to this car.

Dealer fixed the mesh and reclipped it to the bumper. No damage.

Raising the car prevents hitting the surface, and so I will continue doing that in problem areas.

Yep, this is a great idea.

Learn to take all entrances and exits at an angle. This should be a must in a high performance or lowered car.

You are correct about the angle. I was doing that before I started raising the car. I will continue to do so regardless.

I use the raise button all the time, since I like mine low (with the RennTech module).
