Anyone have pics of an OEM M Sport bumper retrofit on a non M?

I have a 2013 328i sport line and want to put the M sport bumper retrofit kit from getbmwparts.com on my car. I've seen pics of the non oem stuff but would appreciate some pics of this retrofit conversion with the BMW OEM.

Thanks!

I just bought it from getbmwparts. I am doing some other stuff too but Hopefully I will have everything done within a month. I hope to post some pictures before and after so people can get an idea of what all is involved with oem retrofit kit.

I doubt you're going to be able to tell a difference from genuine BMW and Ebay bumper unless your body shop sucks.

Yeah the MSport reps are pretty spot on, really you would be silly to pay the price for an OEM bumper. They just make a mold of an OEM one and mass produce them lol.

Thanks!

Just what I needed to see, thanks. Mine has fog lights too and was trying to decide with or without fog lights for the retrofit. I think my preference is no fog lights but I guess since I have fog lights I should prob keep them. Mind if I ask how much you all paid for paint and install of just the front bumper?

Yeah... plus aftermarket front bumpers don't have the ugly reflectors. Saves you another 80 bucks on painted reflectors.

Some aftermarket ones including our bumpers are made from polypropylene which is the same material the OEM bumpers are molded from. You are pretty much pay extra because it's from BMW.

Same here. And it was done by my local BMW body shop.
They were very impressed by the quality of the bumper cover, and all the parts that were included.

For the price I saved, almost got the paint for free !!
