Hi so i have a 2015 328i with the stock bumper. Looking to change it to a sport bumper when i found this post selling a bumper (attached). Its only the bumper though.

So my question is what exactly do i need to buy. on top of my head im assuming just the foglights grill + lower middle grill (im guessing the top grill is same as old bumper, and foglights are the same)? If you guys can confirm that or if im missing anything + if can add any links on what exactly i need to complete this bumper for install (grills/etc) that would be much appreciated since i dont really know. I was just gonna buy a full set before but if this can save me money then id rather do this.

Thanks a lot!

Is that on OEM m sport? If I recall you actually need all the hardware in addition to the bumper. Take a look at gettbmwparts.com

eBay sellers have kits that's basically plug and play. I got one that's the good-go/Selma brand.

Yeah i was actually just gonna go with ebay kits. I just saw this in facebook marketplace for $80 so i figured maybe i can save money by getting this then just getting the rest (once i figure out what i need). And i believe it is an oem m sport. the ad says 335i f30 m sport.

After you buy all the necessary mounting hardware, you'd end up spending a lot more money. It only makes sense to buy that if you already have an M Sport bumper you're trying to replace.

The aftermarket and OEM bumpers are made from the exact same polypropylene plastic. You'd also be getting a better surface to start from in a new bumper. That used bumper also looks like it could have a lot of damage which would cost a lot of money to repair.

It will run you about $1k Discounted to get all the additional parts you will need for the retrofit. The kit is about $1140 MSRP and still cheaper than buying separate.

See part #1 in this link.

Otherwise you could buy a Selma/good-go bumper. $300 for bumper and $500 for paint. The fit is identical to OEM and it's a bumper, why spend more for something prone to chips and damage? Just my $.02
