Thanks

Sorry for the delay. Was out of town.

I think money is the only objection for getting an m-sport bumper. Otherwise, the look that it gives to your car would leave you completely satisfied. You just have to figure out where to buy the bumper from and where to give it for installation.

I bought it from mod****.com but you can shop around. You can also buy an OEM one. A piece of advice would be to ship it to the body shop and not to your place, otherwise you would have the hassle to take it to body shop and it is a huge package.

The body shops around bay area would charge you approx. $700-1000 for installation (Was $800 for me). Just figure out if the body shop you choose, knows what all is involved in installing the bumper. Most body shops think that it is just the bumper cover and not the brackets, ducts, etc. so they quote you less in the beginning and then bump up the price when you take the bumper and parts to them.

Thanks for the info! Hope you enjoy your new bumper

Yep, enjoying to the fullest. I do think (and its my personal opinion) that BMW *should* come with m-sport as the standard factory model (at least for F30)!

Reviving a old thread but OP or anyone can please point me to where I can get the m sport bumper (links to OEM and ebay), and what shop in the bay area can get the job done.

Thanks
