Anyone is SoCal have this done and if so, where did you go to have it installed?

I tried installing mine today, but couldn't figure out where to attach the positive wire to the car. Does anyone have any information about that?

I installed the positive on the red post up by the passenger corner area. The thing with the red cap on it is the main battery post for under the hood. Safe to unbolt and slide the terminal there. For the ground, there is a grounding post in the front passenger corner on the fender towards the front of the car. Use that. Again just unscrew and slip the terminal on.

Great post! Just ordered this for my car and its not even here yet lol. Much better than the tow hook option (on my current e92). Can't wait to install.

In the future when we we want to replace the grill that was cut, does the replacement of the grill require the removal of the front bumper?

sorry it's pretty dark out already but you can vaguely see i left about a one-1/2 inch clearing to the right of the plate...you can definitely cut less off and get much closer to the plate but honestly, you can't see this part of the car...you have to physically bend way over to see this area

i also put a foam pad on top of the nubs to soften the hit on the bumper

Sorry, I know this thread has been here for a while, I just got my new M4 and just wanted to know if you did bolt the system, or everything was 3M taped to the bumper?
Thanks in advance!

Is the non msport bumper big enough to hide the plate?
