random question: will OE Msport rear valence fit an aftermarket Mtech bumper?

Short story, basically converting the aftermarket Mtech rear bumper back to stock to sell the car. Since I have a M5 diffuser on it currently, I need to put an OE rear valence/diffuser back to fit the OE muffler. I know aftermarket Mtech stuff is slightly different than OE Msport bumpers so just wanted to see, if by chance, anyone had to do this. Car was originally base model.

almost certainly not, the aftermarket m tech bumpers are never compatible with any OEM diffuser, or front lip, or any aftermarket diffuser or lip designed for oem my tech. sorry bud

I'd highly doubt it, aftermarket is always a bit off. No one can really give you a concrete answer unless they have the same aftermarket bumper from the same mold. Are you simply trading it into the dealer? It may fit well enough to pass their inspection if thats all that matters though.

Thanks guys. I'm planning on selling it to Carmax so maybe they won't be too picky. Bought the wife a X5 so the F10 has to go
