"The Many-Faced God" Ownnij's f30 335i build thread
This build thread is probably way overdue but here we go..
(not my car but basically what i started with) So on 08/2017 I was able to find a 2012 F30 Melbourne Red Sport Line 335i for a reallllllly good price. It did have some minor cosmetic issues with it but it’s OK because we’re going to have fun fixing that. This was the beginning of the many-faced god (It’s been through 4 different front bumpers) Straight out of the dealership.. it went right into the body shop to get the base model bumpers removed for a M Sport face lift all around. This made a HUGE difference!!! But like all good things..They come to an end when someone did a hit and run while my car was parked. I decided to change things up.. Let’s go with an M3 style front bumper this time. I felt like the m sport bumper was another common bumper and wanted something different and with a little more spice. I do have to say one thing though.. the M3 style bumper looked a little off.. I felt like without the hood, wider fenders.. it just look out of place and awkward. I ended up hitting a dip really hard and the impact literally blew up my bumper #RIP So after being through 3 different bumpers. I had a decision to make.. where do i go from here.. obviously, I'm never going back to the base model bumper. I was pretty much a second away from purchasing another M3 bumper but then i discovered this G30 m5 bumper... MAN I WAS SOLD! I also did the M3 rear bumper with the quad muffler tips and just kept the m sport side skirts.. It's a hybrid of parts but i think it's perfect. The front end was aggressive but not too crazy but i do sometimes miss the m sport rear bumper. This is how my car looks to current date 06/19/2019 I'm on full bolt ons and MHD Tuning Stage 2+ right now. I'll post up some more stuff later. Follow me on IG F30_Bompton |

Subbed, looks really good! Glad we had that chat about the forged carbon on IG too, I should start a build thread myself.
Amazing build, can’t wait to see more! Shaun, @a_bmw_named_bianca |

Looks awesome! I've seen that M5/GMR bumper on eBay and I was searching for some actual photos. so thanks for posting! how does it line up with the sides? does it sit at a stock/ish height?

the only down fall of this bumper is there are no aftermarket lips available. You would need to go a custom route. It's alright though.. i don't really care for lips as i busted 3 lips on this car. |

The main thing is that most butcher up oem sheet metal to do that fuckery and that's just retarded. I think the bmw and P community just reject it for that. |
