Just wondering if anyone has done a complete successful retrofit of the mtech body kit, specifically the replica version (OEM package comes with everything, but if you bought OEM used, I suppose you'd have to do the same thing).

I know there are some fender linings and guides, but I'm looking for a complete BMW part number list that has to be ordered.

And before you say "go OEM", don't bother. I'm not looking for an opinion, I just want the part numbers.

I found this list:

For the front bumper:

-Deflector lip L 51718040103
-Deflector lip R 51718040104
-Adapter 51758040109
-Cover wheel housing, bottom L 51718040101
-Cover wheel housing, bottom R 51718040102

For the rear bumper :

-Guide for bumper,side L 51127906505
-Guide for bumper,side R 51127906506

Can anyone confirm? Also, do you need any new/extra screws or clips?

Even though you are not getting OEM, contact getbmwparts.com and they should be able to tell you what parts you need.

Even your dealership should be able to tell you, if it's a good dealership that is.

Yea, I'm probably gonna hit up the dealership tomorrow and discuss it. The kit is so close, that it requires all the OEM retrofit parts, so it should be the same as doing an OEM swap. Pretty sure I found the numbers, but I want to confirm.

I know you said don't say go OEM but..

if you don't mind me asking, why don't you go OEM if you want a perfect match?
cost?

Well, somewhat cost. Not because I can save "a little" by getting the replica. It's mainly because I'm mixing things up. I'm not doing a full mtech setup. I'm doing the front and rear bumper, but I'm getting performance sides and a performance diffuser. Full OEM kit is $1540, but the front bumper alone is $1050, and the rear with diffuser is $675. If the front wasn't so overpriced, it would make more sense. But I can't justify spending almost 70% of the full kit on the front alone, and it wouldn't make sense to buy the full kit if I'm going to replace it with a $300 diffuser and $400 rockers.
