to F80 M3 Bumper reflectors

NVETHIS · 01-24-2019, 04:42 PM

I'm about to purchase a new bumper for my F30, looking at the F80 M3 retrofit front / rear. The M3 bumper has kinda verticle side markers. Should I expect to buy different reflectors as the horizontal ones from my F30 will not be the same. Thanks for any info.

They should come with the reflectors if oem. But the bumper won't fit your car if it's oem. If you're doing the M3 style bumper and not an oem one everything should be included.

I'm not purchasing oem. Aftermarket retrofit, either Selma usa or phaseone. Both seem to be excellent.

Aftermarket doesn't have reflectors. If it did, the kits always include everything you need.

I actually just noticed that on one of the kits I saw on eBay. Thanks for the response.

Does anyone have a link for SelmaUSA reseller? Their site doesn't appear to have ordering options, I'm not sure how fast they are to respond to email requests.

I think Selma no longer sells this stuff.

I would do M3 front and M sport rear. Looks better than the M3 rep rear bumper. Proportions do not look right. Also get the Wider grill M3 front bumper. There are 2 styles.

That's what I was thinking. Do you have pics or a link comparing the two? I'm looking for the easiest fit for the M3 front, hopefully to add the lip spoiler after the bumper is in.

Here's mine.

This is an earlier version where the bottom isn't as wide. Also please note that finding a lip will be hard. You're better off getting a kit that comes with a lip if possible. My lip I got from a local guy that had one for my bumper specifically, I lucked out, especially since it's CF.
