Some things to be aware of when doing this project: 1. The brackets and plastic pieces that snap into the back side of the bumper may be difficult after getting the bumper painted. Try to remove any excess paint from the clips before you try to snap in the fog brackets. It will make your life a lot easier. 2. Have a can of penetrating lubricant on hand because many of the screws will be seized, and some of the screws have red loctite on them. You can’t use heat on those bolts to loosen the red loctite because the screws go into thin plastic and you don’t want to heat that up at all. 3. Have a bunch of extra fasteners on hand because you may find you’re missing some when you start taking things apart. 4. Be prepared for this job to take a full day. Don’t rush any aspects of this or you’ll regret it. It took me and a buddy 8hrs to do this and we’re both mechanically inclined. Aligning the bumper, the headlights, and making sure all of the gaps are as close to factory as possible will be the final stage and will take a while. We spent a full hour making sure the panels lined up and that the gaps between the panels looked factory. The end result looks awesome, but just know this isn’t exactly easy or fast. Good luck brothas!
Thank you so much for this understandable DIY video! I just did the install today and it turned out great, and I don't think I could have done it without this. Hardest parts were definitely clipping in the fog light grates and the intercooler shroud.
big fan from TX here! you guys really make me want to get an F30! have an e92 right now and looking to upgrade. Keep up the great work! I wish I still lived in Jersey. haha
13:41 damn i was wondering today when checking in on all the spares i had for the bumper what that was for. manage to ruin some part of my frontbumper a week ago. had to go watch a few clips again to know what i was doing when repairing :D. as always. your videos are very informative.
Hey! Could you please do videos on M brake conversion as well as a halogen to xenon/LED headlight conversion? Thank you! Awesome videos, been following for months! :)
already planning on doing this mod. Already have the side skirts ready to install! Next is the steering wheel and LSD, to make my own ZHP - X Drive. If BMW won't build it, then I will have Bryan build it!
you need new air ducts, but the intercooler is the same but dont worry about that part because the kit from Kies comes with all the necessary components you need for the conversion
can you also make a video of a front bumper install with pdc. I am really curious on how that process goes of removing the old sensors and putting them into the new one with the brackets.
So you are using the C shaped metal at 13:32 because you opted out of going for the M Front Fender Liner Extension right? Because the M version of the Front Fender Liner Extension, goes a little up under the air duct, while the Non M Front Fender Liner Extension that you kept on the car goes straight
I love your content. You do really good work. I just don't see enough difference in the M Sport parts to make it worth the money. You did an excellent job of showing how to do the conversion none the less.
Are all the air duct and shroud parts absolutely necessary for install or are they just for preventative maintenance measures while under there? I purchased a bumper but it did not come with any air ducts or shrouds just cover
Hey I know this is long after your video is posted but my kit did not come with the lower support adapter or the spacer. The person I got it from also said the sport line shroud and the m sport shroud is the same ! I’m installing it tomorrow and would like your input. thanks!
the air ducts from 8:05, do they have to be removed? also the one from 8:55? i only have the msport bumper and not sure if i really need these airducts to be replaced. All i have to do is remove that lower brace to have my msportbumper installed?
Can those air ducts be installed after bumper has been put on? Asking as my parts arrived late and I didn't have them on hand when the garage were assembling. Many thanks
Do you keep the stock crash bar when installing it or do you need to change it to install the bumper?? Like is it a must to install a new crash foam bar to fit the msport bumper?? Nobody is making it clear
Hello, for the 335i is the same procedure? I know it has an extra radiator on the left side of the bumper...are the new airducts passing next to that extra radiator? Please can you let me know..that's the only thing which i can't seem to find an answer to...and the only thing that keeps me to Dyi-ing this....Thanks, much appreciated!
So I have a 328i, I just bought a used msport bumper that does not come with any air ducts. I can take off my old air ducts? I don’t track the car. And can I use my old intercooler shroud. Thanks in advance
I recently had to change the underbelly panel. I'm missing the plastic clips or inserts that attach the bottom of the bumper to the adapter that holds the front part of the panel. Can't find a part number for it. Can you guys help?
Awesome video! Question for you ... Can I convert a 2012-18 F80 M3 Style Front Bumper into a bmw 330i sedan 2017 front bumper ? Even if the PDC holes don’t match identical ? Thanks in advance!
Hey Brian.. question. I did a conversion a few months back but the front PDC seemed to go haywire now. detecting objects when nothing is there only half the time. It's driving me crazy I even bought the Carly app and adapter to see if i can just disable the feature, but there is no option. Any suggestions?
Hi, please help. I have a bmw f21 2014 sport so the bumper is 2011 to 2014 model original. I want to change it and put on m sport 2015 to 2019, or does it have to be a m sport 2011 to 2014 same as my car model type? Please help. Thank you so much
The only thing I don’t like that it comes with a hole for headlight washers even though you don’t have it. Yea it comes with the covers but it would be better if it didn’t have it.
anyone know of any m sport bumpers with the side camera view holes? Any help on finding one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! or maybe a video on how to make those holes? (sketchy??)
Hey i got the same kit, is the styrofoam shock absorber needed? The one that came with the kit didnt work at all. Also the air duct for intercooler was same as my oem one on base bumper...bope i installed it all and theres like a 2mm gap where the two brake vents meet the bumper grille. Most likely from styrofoam...let me know what you would do. I might just remove my styrofoam. Thanks man great vids bro dont give up!!
No, you don't need the styrofoam. You can reuse the OEM one or some people just don't use it at all. The lower shroud is a little different, although it looks similar
Bro you are the only one on youtube who gives such a good step by step instrucion videos!! You dont hide anything! Good job !! Keep up the good work!

Already have M Sport but watched it anyways. Your filming, editing, audio & attention to detail are perfect man, keep it coming!

From my two years of being subscribed, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video 😂
13:41 damn i was wondering today when checking in on all the spares i had for the bumper what that was for. manage to ruin some part of my frontbumper a week ago. had to go watch a few clips again to know what i was doing when repairing :D. as always. your videos are very informative.
Iv been looking to get the m sport conversion but it seems that no one makes it with the side camera view. Any help on finding one
Hey! Could you please do videos on M brake conversion as well as a halogen to xenon/LED headlight conversion? Thank you! Awesome videos, been following for months! :)
Second that. M Sport brakes please! You can even do my car im near Allentown lol
already planning on doing this mod. Already have the side skirts ready to install! Next is the steering wheel and LSD, to make my own ZHP - X Drive. If BMW won't build it, then I will have Bryan build it!
Hey quick question do you need new air ducts and inter cooler for the m sport or can you use the stock base model ones?
X2
Yes to air ducts, no to the intercooler but you do need a new intercooler shroud.
you need new air ducts, but the intercooler is the same but dont worry about that part because the kit from Kies comes with all the necessary components you need for the conversion
can you also make a video of a front bumper install with pdc. I am really curious on how that process goes of removing the old sensors and putting them into the new one with the brackets.
Finally the video I was waiting the most 😍
BBS wheels look amazing 😍😍😍
@3:40 -- Some 328i cars have duct work to an aux cooler, as well.
So you are using the C shaped metal at 13:32 because you opted out of going for the M Front Fender Liner Extension right? Because the M version of the Front Fender Liner Extension, goes a little up under the air duct, while the Non M Front Fender Liner Extension that you kept on the car goes straight
I love your content. You do really good work. I just don't see enough difference in the M Sport parts to make it worth the money. You did an excellent job of showing how to do the conversion none the less.
