I agree. The lines match up fine and I like the non-m rear better. The sides as well. Virtually the same except for the molded line that really does nothing for the look overall. Not worth 500 bucks for the parts and paint thats for sure. The front was necessary. LOL especially after seeing these pics side by side no regrets.

So thank you for answering my questions thus far i had placed my order for my selma m sport kit just now....

ot of curiosity.. the LIP is NOT permanently attached to the bumper correct??

i was unsure if i wanted it installed or not but as it was the same price with the lip included i opted to order the kit WITH the lip...

No I would die before plasti dipping anything. LOL... The grilles are gloss black plastic (factory M sport) with the outer edge painted in BMW body color Glazier Metallic Silver.

The M-Sport front bumper really changed up the look of your car, nice job!
Btw the CV3's look GREAT!

Got it from an eBay store. It's called Show-N-Go. The store name is
wholesale_product_group. It was $118 shipped.

How hard would it be to switch back to non-M-sport for winter?

More work than I would want to do. LOL..There is a lot of ducting that would need to be switched back. It can be done, but not sure it would be worth it. I plan on taking off the splitter and if I do that, it will be just as high off the ground as the standard bumper.

JUSKIDN · 10-02-2014, 03:50 PM

the plate is just too sweet............like James Bond sweet.

Overshotgolem · 10-02-2014, 04:02 PM

I did all the wiring since I was a car audio buff for 15 years prior and had the body shop mount the plate since they had the bumper off. No charge since they had to figure in time mounting a plate anyways. It's held in with two screws. Very easy to do. Grab the power from the stud on the upper passenger side that is used for jump starting and there is a grounding stud passenger side front so you do not have to worry about drilling any extra holes into the body for a ground. The plate was $118 shipped.

Anyone know what a reasonable estimate to get this painted and installed would be?

It is $50 and straight out of the JEGS catalog if you get the non-motorized version.

In my particular case, replica M Sport bumper, paint and install was $700 flat.

did you have to purchase a new fog light kit for this bumper or did the ones from your non Msport bumper worked?
