Kies Motorsports M Sport Bumpers on a Euro 3 Series?
I know this topic has been talked to death, but hear me out.
I am very interested in purchasing the M Sport Kit from Kies Motorsports (i.e. bumpers and skirts) for my 340i. I've watched the installation video where Bryan fitted the bumpers to a 328i, but one thing stood out for me when he installed the M Sport Front bumper. In the video, Bryan removed a black bar from the front of the car that connects what looks like two frame pieces. What I want to know is, does the same procedure for installing the M Sport Front Bumper apply to European F30s, or is there a separate procedure for Euro F30s? Does that black bar have to come out for the M Sport Bumper to be fitted? I don't want to compromise the structural rigidity of the car. I am really not sure what to do here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would appreciate if any Euro owners who did the conversion could weigh in here. Thanks for viewing! |

Since Kies offers the product, you're probably better off asking them directly since they will have had more experience from a large swatch of BMW owners.

Tried looking up PhaseOne to see if I can't contact them directly. No luck. |

According to the link provided, the black bar does, in fact, have to be removed in order to fit the front bumper to the car.
There is a link on GetBMWParts for a PDF on the link provided. It's for a installation manual. From the looks of it, it applies to all cars. https://www.getbmwparts.com/p-f30-31...kf30msportfull |

Yes, the black bar has to be removed (it's pretty much just a bumper support bar) and depending on the model, other pieces have to be removed as well.
