Did you M3 front bumper come with the washer predrilled? Mine did and the cover fell off. Now I have to either buy a new bumper, 3D print, or bondo one...

All the bumpers on umnitza.com have the predriller headlight washer holes.

Thanks.

I got them from Umnitza.com about more than 2 yrs ago and they're still bright like new. You can check their website and see what they have for you. i'm planning to do the full led headlight upgrade soon.

Mine didn't come with headlight washer and I didn't have it in my car either so I didn't have them make a hole on the bumper. just the PDCs and tow hook cover. Doesn't bmw has them on stock or on outside online oem replacement store?

The M3 style front bumper is different shape than both the m style and original bumpers. I ordered headlight washer from those part numbers and they didn't fit.

Really nice and cleaner look without it. I think I might have to pony up. Did you have to contact umnitza service before ordering?

You're right, it has a different fit. You could check with umnitza if they have extra headlight washer covers. Yeah, I sent them an email ordering M sport but they suggested M3 would look better so then I placed my order and waited for more than a week because I ordered it prepainted as well with Mineral White and came for install.

How much did they charge for pre painted? I have a rare color (liquid blue metallic) I paid $350 at a local paint shop wihtout install.
I think the M3/M4 look better as well just more rare. I switched back to the regular bumper for now for the rainy season because of the washer issue.
I will give umnitza a shot for the extra washers. They are a bigger shop and probably lay have something. Are you planning on doing the rear?

Paint was $250, $125 installation. Painter spared me the $50 extra due to Mineral White being hard to match and had to use the premium clear coat.

Yes they look much more aggressive too. I'll do the rear and side skirt as well soon because i'm planning to upgrade to full LED headlight units first.

Update: New pics with the new headlights

So I upgraded to led headlights and they look awesome! Loving the oem look and it's brighter too. They're not adaptive but has the turn led that lights up where you are turning. No errors but has tiny flickers on start up which is no big deal. Here are some photos.

Congratulations on the changes that made the car unique. Are the headlights OEM or Aftermarket? if you remember site or manufacturer? thank you
