Not sure about 3 but 2's probably going to go. You'll find out what need tossed when you go to mount it. I did a different bumper conversion and the air vent ducts and a couple other things had to go, otherwise it wouldn't fit properly.

So you are saying just the bumper is enough without other components? I am thinking of getting buying a new one that comes complete with that. Or a used one that comes just with the bumper and nothing else….

I went with the M2C front bumper for the F30 and those pieces had to go other it wouldn't fit and I had fit tested after I removed each part to be sure. Yours may be a lil different.

Yes you need the air ducts if you want to complete the conversion. They go on either side of the lower grill, your non-M Sport ones are a completely different shape.
