E90 Pre-LCI M sport front bumper air ducts w/ oil cooler HELP

So I just purchased a pre lci m sport bumper and I also purchased a new m sport air duct for the oil cooler. Do I have to cut an opening in the fog light bracket for the oil cooler portion of the air duct?

If it’s the same as my e92 335i and if it’s the correct duct you have, Bolting it to the oil cooler should place the inlet over to the side of the fog light where that opening is. No cutting or modifying required.
Now for the m sport brake duct scoops I had to modify the plastic frame they bolt on to.
Check this thread, it’s for an e92 but you’ll get the idea

The E90 is a bit different than the E92 in that aspect, I won't need to modify the radiator support at all. I am just wondering about the space next to the fog light

NEVERMIND guys. A quick realoem search led me to realize there are two different foglight brackets. One with the oil cooler and one without. The company I bought the bumper from sent me the bracket for cars without an oil cooler.

This is the one I need:

I know this is old post but existing bracket can be used too. I have done it on pre LCI and LCI bumpers too. There is a plastic cover that can be pried off or cut depending on the bracket.
