That's a complete kit since it includes the support bracket

Nothing else for the front bumper. BUT, if you want a full M-sport conversion for the front, there's various air ducts that need to be changed out. The underbody tray is also slightly different, but afaik has no functional difference, it's just a two piece tray vs a one piece tray. There's threads out there where people list part numbers for the air ducts

If you don't have either package, I'd just take a pass on the ducting. If you do have the cooler, I'd look into getting the ducting for at least the cooler, mine is kind of jank right now since I just took a dremel and opened up the original ducting... not elegant and I'm planning on getting the proper ducts. The page for all the ducting you might or might not need: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=51_7940 Look for items with S715A=Yes IMPORTANT: Your kit DOES NOT include the M sport foam absorber. The non-msport one is too thick for the M Sport bumper. The one you need is either part number 51117903991 or 51117903993, I'm not really sure which one, you'll have to research that a little more. |

I just installed this same kit. There are some figment issues. It won't fit like oem so be prepared. A few holes don't line up for mounting. There is a gap around the headlights that weren't there before either. Dog lights will be a different side. The two bottom plates on the left and right will also need to be changed and didn't come with the kit. You can install with the old ones but you should get them at some point to make sure it's on there good.

There more to it than that too. I order to avoid copyright issues they will change things to make sure they are no longer similar. It's not as perfect as oem, but I'm still pleased. For the price anyway.

The reason the aftermarket parts don't fit well is because they're made in overseas factories (that don't give a damn about IP) that have jack all for quality control. So you'll often have parts that shrunk a little too much during the cooling process, went into degraded molds, etc. Not because they're worried about copyright. |
