Question regarding m sport bumper conversion

PhizzurpF · 10-30-2019, 01:09 PM

Hey all,

I had to return my previous bumper as it was cracked upon delivery. Now I'm trying to purchase another, but noticed eBay states it's not compatible for my car. I drive a 328i x drive base.

Any reason why this would be? Bumper is noted as an f30 m sport bumper. Shouldn't this fit all 3 series?

If your car is not an M-Sport, it will say it won't fit.......although it does.

Ahhh... duh! It's looking at it as a replacement rather than a conversion. Thank you, sir!

You need m-sport ducting and things too if you get an m-sport bumper. The base bumper won't have the same shielding and ducting.

Are you sure? I wasn't aware of this. I was under the impression the bumper from selma came with everything

Ah I thought you were planning to get an OEM one. If you're getting a selma kit, it'll come with everything.

Yes sticking with Selma. Appreciate it though!
