I just wish there were more alternatives for full bumper replacements. Coming from a G35 that had well over a 1/2 dozen options, the f30 is so limited.

Do they make an M3 wagon? No. If they did I would buy one, but unfortunately they don't and I prioritize functionality over track spec parts in a sedan that is impractical for my wife and I.

If you don't like the look of the M-Sport bumper but want to keep a somewhat OEM or OEM+ appearance, what other choice do you have? Get over yourself champ.

Guys, can anyone confirm if the Selma M3 bumper is just a simple swap with my sportline bumper? Or will I need new brackets, etc? I am just trying to gauge the ease of installation.

Thanks!

AC, I have the entire Selma kit, front, rear and sides. To answer your question it doesnt need anything other than what comes in the kit. No new brackets.
