M3 Front Bumper

[Brian325i]

Will I need new wheel liners if I'm converting to the M3 bumper?

[Speedy-325is]

where can u get new wheel liners??? i cant find them anywhere.

probably not though...

[Deloriant]

Nope, sure won't. I put an m3 front bumper on my 328is. When e6 comes out with their front splitter I'm getting one! WOhoo!

Look on bavauto.com but make sure to put a M3 as your car or else you wont find any of the M3 parts.

i bought mine from here. its oem. actually he can get you any oem part! good prices compared to bav auto! good luck!

[Brian325i]

That's actually not that great of a price either...he doesn't include the front lip, the transition pieces, the splash panel, or the grill...so basically after buying those other things your paying more than $600.

your stock ones fit just fine. ive changed my front bumper a few times and that is one thing you dont have to use.

if i remember correctly the only thing that you do use is the reinforcement bar.

[Brian325i]

You did need new air ducts and spoiler transition pieces though, right?

[Furious]

my bad yes you do need new ducts (forgot because my last bumper used m3 ducts). what transition piece are you talking about?

[Brian325i]

The triangular black piece that connects the bottom of the wheel well to the bottom of the front bumper....I also heard that you can go without the splash panel...but it isn't recommended. Is this true? I have the main bumper and the bottom lip that I bought from a friend but I still need to get the other pieces to make it work and I don't want to buy too much stuff if I don't really need it. So far I need all of the impact strips, the lower grill, the air ducts, the transition pieces, and the splash panel(if needed). All of that is going to run me about $300 on bavauto on top of the $250 I paid for the bumper + lip. I'm thinking that maybe I should have just bought a M-technic Kit from bavauto because I'm only saving like $50....and maybe some saved on shipping.

you honestly dont need them. but from what i can recalll they are the same.
