4 Series MSPORT Fog Delete COMPLETE

Hey all,
I recently purchased the US delivered MSport Grills to replace the Aus delivered Fog lights on the Msport bumper. Here are some before and afters. Taking off the bumper was simple enough once I knew what i was doing. Everything went smoothly except i had to duct tape and secure the existing bulb with a zip tie in a hidden location as i didn't want a fault code. I'm sure these is a plug to fool the computer (or coding to delete it) but i couldn't find one...



After

How are you getting around without a front plate?

Qld registered car. 3 demerit points when you get pulled over. Personally I'd keep the fogs, but then again I have adaptive headlights.

Personal preference, i can't stand fog's on any car. I feel the US delivered F32 (m-sport) cars look far more aggressive more like the f32 concept that first got me into the F32.
Regarding the plate... Like all things you have got to pay to play. I see Lambos, Porsches and other BMW's driving without front plate (not that a 4 series is a lambo/porsche). So far so good. Last time i checked it was 1 Point and a small fine.... this was some time ago when I had my 135i.

I am fluent in this "language" and I will translate as best I can.

Your vehicle looks very nice.
I also have no front licence plate on my vehicle and it too looks very nice.
People who prefer to follow the local vehicle registration regulations, comply with them and then make comments that those who don't comply with aforementioned vehicle registration rules are silly, only do so because it is in their nature.

Someone or other would be proud of the more aesthetically pleasing front of the vehicle with no fog lights.

I laugh at loud at the silly people who comply with the law and attach a registration plate to the front of their vehicle.

I also do not have a registration plate on the front of my vehicle.

Or thereabouts anyway.

Stand back everyone, it's a hash tag gangsta. Double demerit points in QLD and NSW this weekend. Personally I'm against paying an idiot tax, but each to their own. Foglight delete looks good.

Well Steve, there came a point in my life when I had studied very hard and received my MBA and I asked myself what I else I could do to further my education and life experience.

I'm sure you have been at the same point in your life as well mate. You probably thought there is only some much you can learn about rocks and you then must have thought there must be more to life.

I decided the best way I can give back to the community was to learn the native tongue of the knob hence I could decipher what the young man had to say. There are a few other languages I would like to learn including the language my nearly 14 year old son and his mates speak, too hard that one though.

Back on topic now, I do really like the look of the M Sport without the fogs and the vehicle that doesn't have a front plate (yet) is my bike but that's a discussion for anther day!

BTW mate I have many, many talents that aren't evident on this forum

That's what those letters meant, I thought Zyzz was a typo.

I did make mention in the original translation but H Translate just came out with "someone or other".

Sorry I will now request an upgrade to H Translate so lines of random consonants, which are apparently Nouns, are translated appropriately.

I will also add an addendum to the final report!

Nanoo, Nanoo.

Thanks mate. Well I went in blind with the removal having never done it before and couldn't find a DIY removal thread. It's pretty basic there are quite a number of bolts to remove. I didn't require a jack to get to them all.
Probably the trickiest part was the removal of the headlight washer tops, PDC sensor clips and the actual removal of the fog grill (it was in quite tight)
Overall pretty easy just takes some time and a friend to help you align it back up.

Well I don't have the headlight washers, so maybe my removal will be a bit less tricky

Thanks for the help.
