Retrofitting M Sport Bumpers

Hey everyone. I wanted to ask you guys how many of you guys have retrofitted the M Sport Aero parts onto your non M sport cars. I wanted to see if any other owners have gone through the process and about how difficult and expensive it is.

Peace of mind that it fits with minimal to no gaps, but at a higher cost.

I did Msport front bumper retrofit and side skirts through Ebay. Had my independent mechanic do install. Took about 5-6 hrs as they had never installed a kit on the F series.

$400 install. Tech said he was surprised at how well the ebay kit fit and had all parts necessary for install except the different front PDC holders. Ordered those from BMW. Msport front bumper has different angles so the PDC holders are different. Apparently if you reinstall the originals the sensors are outta whack.

The company that painted the kit drilled the holes for the PDC.

Yeah I'd like to know about this too. Looking at the kit sold by Mod Bargains for 1k. How much would the install and paint job all cost? And any other good sources to get the kit from?

My local shop quoted me $700 for a front bumper paint and install. I'm sure you can get it cheaper but I'm sure a quality paint job won't be much cheaper

Garage List
I had front and back bumpers and side skirts painted and installed for 1200. I contacted like 20 places and got quotes as low as 1000 and as high as 2000. The parts were about 950. That's with front and rear bumper, side skirts, front lip and rear diffuser, and new grilles. Whole process was less than 2000 and was done in 3 days.
