Question Noob here, first time working on car, with bumper question.

Hey all, so I recently got a 2012 F10 535i with low miles as a project car, so I could learn about cars and have a fun vehicle as well. I've done a couple things such as replacement of the cowling as well as weather lining and headlights etc.

But my main question is how to tell what bumper I can put on my car. It is a pre lci with parking sensors, so my gut is telling me that this should work, https://www.kiesmotorsports.com/prod...29578556440691.

With that said, I am still learning, so sorry if this is a stupid question.

It will fit, but there are also items behind the bumper cover that will need replacement. Do a search for bumper (cover) conversion and you should find all the information you could ever want

Gotcha, thanks. Since I need to get items for the conversion, does that mean I can get the bare bones bumper, or should I still purchase the kit above, alongside the bumper cover conversion?

Thanks to both of you. Once I get it installed I'll definitely post the results. Gotta order and get it painted now.
