Question M4 Style Bumper Air Ducts

I recently hit a semi-truck tire retread on the interstate and destroyed my front bump, grills and air ducts.

With that being said I plan on running the M4 style bumper if I can find the answer regarding the air ducts. Does any one have any information on the fitment of the bumper with the existing air ducts for the M-sport bumper?

Below is an image I found with an EB M4 style bumper (unless they just painted an M4 EB) and painted kidney grilles. I really love the way this looks so hopefully I am just over thinking the air ducts aspect.

Hi! The picture you linked is of an M3, that color is "Yas Marina Blue". The M4 "style" bumper you are talking about will not look as good as the actual oem bumpers because of the fact the normal 3/4 series is not as wide. It'll look kinda squished and awkward in my opinion, BUT that is just my opinion. Personally I would just go with an M-Sport bumper and a nice lip, as lip options do get kind of limited with replica style bumpers.

If you get a m4 bumper the air ducts will fit due to the m4 bumper being bigger

Yep that's what ended up being the case. Sadly, I just ended up going with the OE F32 bumper because I am lame and didn't want to deal with the dealership. Oh well :/
