The answer to your second question is how comfortable you are with having 6 holes securing your lip, instead of 8. I prefer better security vs the difficulty in drilling an extra pair of holes. The bumper is just plastic, as you probably have noticed by now. A simple hand drill goes through it like butter. But that's just me. You might have an aversion to drilling holes in your bumper, which is understandable. As long as you are Ok with less rivets securing your bumper |

A lot of us who rather not pay the exhorbitant price that an OEM m-sport lip commands have had good results with Selma on Ebay. The fitment is not perfect, but usually much better than the stuff that comes from China.
Here's a thread that talks about some nit fitment issues with the Selma lip. You'll have to decide whether a lip that is 1/3 the price of an OEM one is something that you can live with ... http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1262023 |

For $129, I can live with a little imperfection in fitment. Take 2 steps back and everything looks fine. Same for ebay rear diffuser.

So I've tried several lips and to my frustrations trashed all of the replicas I've bought. They all fit like crap. I'm gonna pull the trigger and get the genuine bmw lip it bugs me when things don't fit flush. My opinion if you want a perfect fitting lip with no issues spend the extra and get genuine bmw m lip.

The bottom lip for the F32 coupe is different from the F30.
Just got the new lip but it came with nothing since I was told that it reuses all the screws from the original bumper. Looking under the car and I can see the mounting points on the lip uses the screws and not expanding rivets. Anyone got any tips of the lip install for the F32? |

Slightly reviving this thread...thanks OP for the DIY. Your directions were spot on! I was able to successfully install my M Performance replica lip this past Friday.
As with most aftermarket vendors, fitment was roughly a 90-95% match. It's only when you finely scope the part do you notice how it's not a perfect fitment. Irregardless, I am happy with the outcome and more pleased knowing that it was a 1/3 the cost of a genuine M Performance part. |

Do you guys think a lip for a 435i will fit on a 2017 440i?

Picked up my M replica lip today from Expert Tuning on Ebay (https://goo.gl/Ndyk9v) for $129. Will be installing this weekend using this DYI. Will take before and after pics and report back!

Install went off without a hitch. Took me about 45 mins start to finish. What a nice improvement to the aggressive look of the 335i with M-Sport bumper. Barely clears the driveway.
