When installing after market Front Lip/Rear Apron.

Do you have to apply betalink? Or can you just use the 3M heavy duty tape and it will hold it?

I would not recommend using the betalink in case you ever need to remove it. I have used 3M on my Maxima and it has held on for 8 years so I think it will hold. I don't know if the BMW kit comes with rivets or anything but you could do that for permanent installation.
