m sport rear bumber! please help
Hi guys,
So I have a 2013 528I pre LCI non M sport with premium and tech package which including comfort access. If I want to convert to m sport rear bumper (assuming I just use the m sport diffuser that come with the bumper, not quad exaust system, just normal diffuser for 528 m sport), then do I need any extra part to make the comfort access works? I thought I read somewhere that people need some brackets to hold the comfort access sensor? Thanks Update: please see photo. Is that all I need to make it works (comfort access with m sport bumper) Last edited by jasonle89; 05-27-2015 at 04:08 PM.. |

So you have an SE and are changing to an M Sport rear bumper? As far as I am aware the bumpers are different and you will need the apron and diffuser. Not just the diffuser and yes you will need the relevant mounting bracket for the comfort access which I am assuming is the boot release via foot sensor?

Jason,
Have a look at these two threads about the Smart Opener for F10. You will see the great DIY instructions where all necessary parts are listed and pictured. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=741594 http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=835896 Hope it helps. |

That picture is the complete backend for an M Sport Rear Conversion and unless the link you are purchasing this item from specifically mentions the brackets required, I would say check the threads mentioned above, but definitely contact your dealership for info and to avoid waiting times on parts etc. Some parts could be cheaper than you expect. Is that an OEM bumper or aftermarket? |

Best thing is to check with your dealer whether your current sensor mount is interchangeable with the M Sport bumper. If it is then you're laughing. If not then just get the sensor bracket from them. It's plastic and should be cheap. |

Don't go aftermarket. Source a bumper on eBay or on this forum. There a loads of M Sport Bumpers for sale now as the F10 is becoming pretty common including those that are being broken for parts and salvage.
Trust me.. aftermarket will never quite meet the OEM look and fitment can become a pain as well. |

It's actually hard to find the OEM one on eBay or here, which is used of course, with no damage, dent or holes thou. Any well known store like trinity...etc..those are after market. So i guess if i want to go with OEM, the only way is to buy OEM, but that mean there are a bunch of other parts will come along with it

The 528i you have does it have twin exhaust pipes like the 535d? SINGLE PIPE on each side? If so then I have the complete setup if you are interested? |

Shipping shouldn't be that expensive. Try your best to get an OEM setup. The bumpers are more durable in comparison to aftermarket. You basically have the 520/530d setup we have here. |
