F32 M Sport Front Bumper Swap

Mmusikanth · 03-22-2019, 10:16 PM

I know there are full conversion kits for those who can afford to do a full conversion, including paint.

But is it possible to find a barebones (bumper only) second hand oem M sport front bumper, of the same color, and swap them out. Collecting the necessary pieces over time afterwards?

-Ducts
-mesh grilles
-etc...

Looking for a way to get the main bumper on the car and change the look without sinking too much into the conversion upfront.

Additionally, the car is a lease so I would have to return it eventually. Want to make sure that I still have the parts for when the day comes without sinking too much into the conversion but have the look. If it was my car then I would have done it differently... but this one is leased unfortunately...

TLDR; In otherwords can I get a barebones oem M sport front bumper from a wrecker and swap them out and keep the sportline internals underneath for the duration of my lease without any major malfunctions. To have the style and not break the bank.

While in theory that sound great, the number of pieces you will need will be a nightmare.

Buy a non OEM Bumper on eBay that has all the parts. Will not find used OEM painted cheaper (that you want on your car).

Then just get it painted later on when you’ve saved for it.
