The bumper is the same with or without foglights. The corner grilles and mounting hardware are different. Options like front PDC, side view cams or headlight washers affect which bumper you need.

$550 is indeed a rip off, but pretty normal down here I will be DIY'ing when the time comes.

finally got it fitted at Euro Collision in Southport for $190 , Talk to Steven, he'll give you a decent price, every time.

Thanks
Yeah, the grill inserts will be different, not the bumper itself.
As dcg31 mentioned, the bumper you order will depend on the parking sensor and park assist

Thanks, I'm actually looking to get a lip (spoiler) for my mineral gray F30 3281, but i dont know where to find a color that matches along with a cheap price.
If you know anyone let me know

question why didnt you just buy an m-sport model 328 or 335 since it looks like you have the money for them plus you are craving the power, and you would save lots of time and possibly money and you would still have the warranty, i'm confused

Good question

I was never a 'car guy'. My car was pretty much an impulse buy, basically fell in love and didnt know the difference between any models, they all seemed similar enough so I went for the cheapest white one.. has I known, I would have gotten a 328i, 335i is a little out of my budget..

only after seeing the cars posted here did I realise how crappy mine was, mostly aesthetically (hence the title). It became my hobby and ambition to own one that was at least on par with you guys .

lesson learnt, research before you buy.
Silly I know

thanks

the specs are BC Forged HB09
Front: 19x8.5 et35
Rear: 19.9.5 et45
Face: Brushed Black
Lip: Brushed
Inner Barrel: Black

for the tyres, i actually went for
Front: 235/35
Rear: 255/35

wider and higher profile tyres were hard to find on short notice, i think these specs are the minim without having the stretch look

when i need to replace my tyres, my preference would be
Front: 235/40
Rear: 265/35

good luck with the wheel hunt

Thanks man

the prices are probably cheaper now, but this is the Australian price as of April this year:

• M-Sport Retrofit BM-51952318192 (Retrofit Kit): $1709.98
• M-Sport Retrofit BM-51118055820 (Front Bumper): $864.38 [$950.82]
• M-Sport Retrofit BM-51128056498 (Rear Bumper): $956.22 [$1051.84]
• M-Sport Retrofit BM-51128054197 (Rear Bumper Insert): $216.70 [$238.37]

[#]=Retail Price

Parts Total: $3745.55

Fitting+Painting: $1852.40 (from independent body shop)

Total: $5597.95

I hear you can get the whole thing for about 2k in the US

Jesus ordering the M Sport from the out set sure is a lot cheaper

[Sherweeeny]

I don't think that pricing is that bad!

[Who?]

Updated with some new pics
the m-performance parts are on

ofcourse anything is cheaper from factory, but if you want something so bad, money becomes less of an obstacle

I agree, its similar in price to some other after market body kits like prior, which isnt too bad for an OEM.

[AMJAM]

It amazes me what BMW does to Australians. Even the dealers get annoyed with BMW Australia and their Australia tax

[dcg71]

Looks good with the M performance bits . So what's next? You're starting to run out of mods.

It really depends on what youre getting, m-perf parts were only slightly more expensive compared to the US. While the body kit itself has a double mark up


Car price itself says it all really

Thanks

Only the headlights to go really
Still debating which route to take

[AMJAM]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the one eighty headlights look pretty good

it does, but its not quite what i expected
also, being in Australia (as you know) its going to be difficult (read: costly) to get these lights over here.

I got a quote for a xenon+led+painted housing/indicator/eyelids
it came to $1800+$700 shipping+$500-700 for them to source a used set of headlights.

so total of around $3000-3200

at that price, not too sure tbh, if i can find a buyer for my halogen (which i doubt), id consider these lights more seriously

[AMJAM]

Yeah that is pretty expensive. I have seen a number of standard xenon units on eBay that were about half that

[maficionado]

Nice

The issue is, its way to difficult to make it work. the wiring, coding etc. where as the aftermarket solutions are plug and play
