Hey guys,

So I'm about to pick up OEM m-tech front and rear bumpers and the list of parts that they come with is huge. I was wondering, does anyone know if any of these can be re-used from the OEM non-m bumper?

Based on realoem.com, the names of the parts are the same but part numbers are all different. Does that mean they cannot be interchanged? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Here's m-tech

and non-m:

Thanks!

I did it.
Well, you need all of them, and more. Also you need different plastic elements of the floor.
I can't explain everything in details (my English isn't so good), but you need this:

and also some parts from this (you have to check which parts are for M pack (code:S715A)):
http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...06&hg=51&fg=15 (very important)

Be careful, some parts are doubled on the schemes.

Did you see the package they have?

They have a full kit. Front. Sides. Rear. Ordering the package will eliminate the guess work.

Cheers for a great mod!

Just wanted to say thank you for the links. The m-sport retrofit page was very helpful as it included a few things the front and rear m-sport pages didn't.

I'm getting everything painted this week and installed next, will report back once done with a detailed write-up, which should hopefully be useful for anyone else looking to upgrade to the m-sport kit.
