Hey guys, so pretty soon im going to put on the m3 bumpers on my 335i cause i love the body style off an m3. But i was reading that theirs an issue with lips that cant fit the replica front bumper. Has anyone done it before?

Since it is a replica m3 bumper lips made for real m3 bumpers probably won't fit too well

I believe an OEM M3 bumper is wider than the replicas, so lips for OEM bumpers will not fit replica M3 bumpers. You have 2 options: 1. Get a lip made specifically for M3 rep bumper, or 2. Do a whole M3 front end conversion and use OEM parts.

you will find it 2in too wide when you take that chance. good luck.

Not only are the M3 bumpers wider than the M3 rep, but the center intake and sides all have ever so slight differences in the contours and shapes.

After all these years, I've never seen anyone successfully put an M3 lip on an M3 replica
