ebay would be a good bet, or the usual suspects of bavarian auto and the likes. Or give to local junk yard a call.

Lips are not a popular item in the used market. Your best bet would be buying one new. I'd recommend BMA auto parts. They're service is second to none.

Don't forget to buy some clips for it. You'll need a total of 10 and they're available in black and white depending on the color of your car.

Yep BMA had the best deal for a real iS lip.  I just couldn't justify it right now, and I've lowered the car so that iS lip would really catch it if I wasn't careful.  I just got a repro 3 series (non iS) from pelican parts.  I really need a more narrow (more shallow?) iS style, 'cause I would truely only have a few inches cleareance...
