I just need advice on retrofitting an m3 or m sport style bumper please.

So I have been thinking of upgrading the front bumper to the m3 style or the m sport style

Has anyone who has done this before be able to give me some advice?

Is there anything I should watch out for?

I'm thinking of getting it from modb, or maybe bimmian. Any place yall recommend?

I've done the M-sport and that was the best 1000 Ive spent. The one from Modb is suppose to be a great kit. I got mine from Selma Restyling (ebay store). Here is a link to my before/after...

That looks amazing. I heard about Selma as well.

Problem that I am having now, is that my car has PDC+camera and I can't tell whether or not the m sport bumper has the holes for the camera

Would an m3 bumper retrofit just look weird?

The kits we carry are fairly straightforward. They come with everything needed for installation. You just need to prep and paint the bumper. We have the M Sport ones in stock and the M3 style ones coming in a couple months. Please feel free to PM me if you have any further questions.

Yes, they are available with PDC holes and without. Which camera are you referring to?

Sorry for the double post

But I am not sure. I don't think the fenders need to be changed right? The kits don't mention anything about changing fenders

Ah that one. No the hole will not be here for the camera, but it would be very easy for any body shop to drill it out for you.

That is correct. The bumper is designed for stock fenders.

I really like the m3 style front bumper, would you happen to have the m3 style rear bumper with exhaust outlets for a quad tip?

Not yet. They will be coming out in the future but no ETA right now.

Hi, I was checking out on this thread and noticed you have the M3/M4 style bumpers in stock now and debating which one to get. I like them almost equally. But being easier to install will be important to lessen my time tackling this task.
Comparing the M3/M4 bumper to the F30 M-sport front bumper, fewer pieces were contained in the M3/M4 style bumper, is it correct to assume converting to the M3 Style bumper will be easier install than converting to the M-sport bumper? Or do we need to buy separate pieces to install it? Is it correct to assume that the M3/M4 bumper will utilize the current intake, absorption cushion, etc from the stock bumper? I have a F30 baseline with Fog lights and no PDC.
There are intake, front fender, absorption cushion with the M-sport bumper, but none with the M3/M4 style bumper.
Thanks for the help.

Both kits come with everything needed for the retrofit. I would say they are equally simple to install. They are fairly plug and plug but they do need to be test fitted, prepped and pained prior to installation.

We will be, but there is no ETA right now. I would say another 4-5 months we will have one or both.
